[quote=Anonymous]IB Hardy parent: I am glad that uniforms are screening our kids from marketing pressures to desire (and thus ask) ultra-expensive clothing items like $350 limited edition sneakers, or $400 branded sweaters. It is not that I cannot afford it. It is more about keeping kids focused, at least for middle school, on presenting themselves and appreciate others at school more for who they are and what they are learning, rather than what they are wearing on their shoes. Especially at school. Then on weekends, i.e. on their free time, any family and kids can decide whether they are for the $350 sneakers or not.

I am all for uniforms, especially at such a delicate age , and in a context where kids and teenagers are taking possession of themselves. It certainly simplify the noisy signals that they are learning to process in the search for their individuality, and in a good way.

I can certainly see with my eyes that my kid is benefiting from it. And, if a consultation was held, I am sure that most current IB families would express their favor for the uniforms.
