[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from Berkeley originally, so I am not a fan of uniforms. I don't understand why some state entity gets to tell me how to dress my kid. The light colored pants stain easily and frequently have to be washed multiple times. The pants also aren't warm, and it's hard to layer pants. I'd really like to be able to use fleece pants or jeans. That said, I really like the academics, faculty, and other families at my kid's school, so uniforms are not the hill I'm going to die on.[/quote] I'm from Berkeley too and I unexpectedly love uniforms at my kid's schools. I bought compression tights for my son to wear under his khaki pants when it is cold (loves them and he can use for athletics too) and my daughter wears tights under her dress or skirt-- no limit at her school regarding the color or pattern of tights so she goes wild! Same with head bands, boots and coats. The uniform with freedom to accessorize is a perfect fit for us. Gets us out the door quickly with a bit of freedom for self expression. [/quote]
