[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why no uniforms in MCPS? Because MCPS isn't

1. an expensive private school
2. a Catholic private school
3. a poor urban public school district

OP, how would wearing uniforms instill discipline? Besides discipline in doing laundry, for the parent who is responsible for the laundry...

Kids would focus more on studies and other things than remarking/keeping up with latest fashion. Reduce Bullying for kids who do not follow the latest and greatest trends.
It would have everyone at same level in terms of clothing - rich/poor/middle [/quote]

Also, easier to ID everyone on a field trip, demonstrably CHEAPER than normal clothing, etc.

There have been a bunch of studies. [/quote]

I don't know if it's cheaper really.  My kid goes private.  His uniform clothes cost me about $300-$400 for the school year.  My DD's wardrobe is not that expensive (caveat: my DD is in  1st grade so we have not gotten really into fashion yet).  I'm a thrifty clothes buyer and it was hard to do that with the uniform selections out there.  Even uniform pants from Target are $16/pair this year.  I do happen to agree that it cuts down on bullying and the whole keeping up with the Joneses mindset though.[/quote]
