[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks again for the tips. Did not intend to once again debate the merits of Catholicism but it does always descend into that. My local public has a dress code so [b]I am not worried about the adjustment to uniforms[/b] - i am looking forward to it. I look forward to discipline in the  classroom (my kid’s current public school classrooms  have kids flipping desks and throwing staplers at the teacher - with little to no recourse. I do think i am making the right choice and appreciate the tips. [/quote]
You might not be but are your kids? They are the one's that have to deal with it so it's their opinion that matters.[/quote]

What do you think the big objection would be? By and large kids and parents prefer the uniforms at the schools I've been to. No stressing about what to wear or fitting in or not. The kids have plenty of opportunities to choose their clothes after school and on weekends. But knowing what to wear every day and not having to think about it is great.[/quote]
Alot of kids do prefer uniforms I will admit that, but some don't and they shouldn't be forced into them.[/quote]

Then Catholic school is not for them since clothes and not education seem to be their primary concern. But that doesn't seem to be OP's issue.[/quote]
You don't need uniforms to get a good education, and last I checked parents can force their children to go to a private school even if the school doesn't work for them which honesty is part of the problem.[/quote]

[b]The problem? What problem?[/b] If uniforms and Catholic values aren't for you, there are many other schools out there. If you can get as good an education with blue hair and rumpled pajamas at your local public school then you should be very happy. Why do you care if someone else makes a different choice and has different preferences?[/quote]
If you can't see the problem with forcing unwilling children into things like this you are part of the problem.[/quote]

Forcing?  So what about forcing kids to attend a school with disruptive gang members and teachers who push gender ideology. That to me is more problematic. [/quote]
