[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again and I am not understanding the arguments why you have to spend more at uniform schools. The math just doesn't add up for me.

Someone said you have to buy more clothes because in addition to school wear you have to buy weekend wear. But kids are in school 5 out of 7 days, and you don't have to buy THAT many clothes for the weekend. You can get away with wearing the same style every day at school, so you don't need a lot of variety for the school days. Even if you clearance shop for regular clothes, you will need fewer items in total with uniforms, so that should bring down the cost. This is what parents from uniform schools often say. Uniforms save time and money.

And yes, kids will always be able buy expensive accessories to show off. Uniforms will not completely solve this problem, but it should take a lot of the burden off of some families to keep up. Buying one nice backpack and a few accessories is a lot less troublesome than buying an entire closet full of band name clothes and shoes.

When your child come home from school he isn't going to change out of his uniform?  My kids are very into sports and wear a lot of Under Armour. They run hard at recess and go to practice many nights. Sometimes they can wear the same clothes they wore to school since they always want to wear athletic clothes. It's a phase and doesn't get in the way of learning.  We don't have any issues in the morning and they quickly put on an outfit.  Uniforms would cost me more money and create more laundry.  One of the reasons we did not choose private school was because I felt strongly that I didn't want my children to wear uniforms. [/quote]
