Children at Washington Latin and NCS wear uniforms
but there have been a number of vocal IB Hardy parents who misleadingly claim that they would send their children but for the uniforms.  It is dishonest and a distractor..........

ignore it[/quote]

I have to honestly say that the uniforms mean something to me.  I would not send my child to Latin either.  A public school should not have uniforms, and when some have uniforms and others don't,[b] it sends the message that the school "needs" uniforms to keep order[/b].  Private schools are a different matter entirely, but I do not think some publics should require uniforms while others don't.   It would factor into my decision.[/quote]

Not to me, it doesn't.  It send that message that students won't be distracted by by clothing decisions, that, for some families, it will save money that would be better spent elsewhere, and that the kids will have a visual sense of belonging at the school.[/quote]
