[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One is a choice, the other is a discipline technique.[/quote]

Parents in DC are lucky to have the choice to avoid cheap uniforms at their IB school.   They can play the lottery and choose a school for their kid from a whole array of charters that don't have uniform.

These parents are better off avoiding a school which they disdain because  of the message sent by the quality of the uniforms.  It's hard to imagine that their attitude would not rub off on their children who might have difficulty learning in an atmosphere where they think they are superior to the other children based on the perceived message being sent by their uniform.[/quote]

If Hardy catches on among IB families, parents who can't stand Hardy's uniforms might feel the need to move away to avoid the sight of so many undisciplined neighborhood kids running around in cheap uniforms.   And what could happen to the real estate value of homes?  Imagine a majority of IB kids attending a school so close to home that parents don't have to drive their children far - or at all.  This could have a major effect on neighborhood life as neither parents nor children have to get up at the crack of down to get to school on time.  Some families won't even need a second car! imagine the prestige lost in only being a one-car family. [/quote]
