[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a large enough bloc of Mann/Key/Hyde parents insisted on reversing the uniform policy, it could work.  Hardy could quickly become a small darling of NW.  But as long as the face of the school is OOB in need of discipline, that can't happen.[/quote]
You know, I'm starting to wonder whether I would want to send my kid to school with kids whose parents are overwhelmed by their unresearched and unverified assumptions about Hardy based on what they think public school uniforms [i]must[/i] mean.  That is, they can't see the difference between what is [i]really[/i] going on at the school and what they believe everyone [i]thinks[/i] about the school.  It might be best if all you folks who are suspicious about uniforms don't send your kids to the school because I'm not sure I would want my child to associate with children whose parents don't teach them to do research and engage in critical thinking.

Do the research and check the reasons why the introduction of public school uniforms in urban schools became an educational fad in the late 80s and into the 90s.

[/quote]Given that the uniforms were introduced to Hardy in the [i]aughts[/i], one might want to find out the specific situation at Hardy.  But then that would require visiting the school and forming your own impressions rather than just throwing around vague stereotypes without looking any further.  Yeah, not sure I would want my kid in a classroom with a child brought up that way.[/quote]
