[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Varies dramatically. I went on like 10 school tours this year, and we saw some kids in regular clothes, some kids who theoretically had a "uniform" with low compliance, and some schools where there was a uniform (either a real one or a color scheme) and everyone was actually wearing it.

Post the school name and people will be able to tell you.

I'll say that my kids go to Tubman, the uniform is "any yellow shirt" and I would say compliance is <25% across all grades. Probably even lower. [/quote]

What’s the point of guidelines if most kids aren’t compliant?[/quote]

They aren't going to suspend kids for being out of uniform in dcps unless they show up in something totally outrageous. In charters they do, and it helps them get problematic kids/families out. [/quote]

This is utter nonsense. It's also strange how you apparently think poor people are incapable of following any rules, and that you believe charters are just looking for an excuse to kick them out. [/quote]
I am not arguing for this position, I am merely describing the position…

Charters can’t be selective about who they take, so they find ways to kick out people who don’t have their lives together and aren’t serious about school. It’s how they select their cohorts. It’s not a rich poor thing, it’s a who has their shit together thing, and they don’t want families who don’t have their stuff together. [/quote]
