[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uniforms[/quote] I assume that this is a joke. The reality is that Hardy uniforms, while a small thing, are a big turn-off to a lot of prospective IB parents who associate public school uniforms with chaotic, urban schools.[/quote] Which is a long way of saying that prospective IB parents are snobs who allow their negative associations with uniforms to cloud their entire perception of a school.[/quote] It has nothing to do with snobbery. Public school uniforms became very popular in the 80s and 90s as part of a toolkit to instill discipline and to try to turn around inner-city schools that were viewed as out of control and failing. While this is not a fair characterization of Hardy today, the uniforms are an outmoded vestige of a more troubled time. They suggest that Hardy still needs uniforms to maintain school discipline.[/quote]
