As for the uniforms mentioned by a PP, uniform requirements seem to less enforced over the past few years.  I don't love them either, but many IB parents actually like them for their convenience.  I wouldn't be surprised if uniforms go away after a few more years.[/quote]
I haven't heard of any steps to eliminate the requirement for uniforms. What's your basis for thinking uniforms might go away after a few more years? That would be great but I'm not aware of this direction.[/quote]
As for uniforms, that was just idle speculation on my part.  I think enough parents would have to push the argument about uniforms having little bearing on test scores, behavior, etc.  Right now, I think most people are fine with them.[/quote]
The school did make a change in direction on uniforms this year. Kids can continue to wear the standard uniform (white polos, blue pants/shorts/skirts) or opt to wear a Shepherd t-shirt, of which there are multiple varieties. My little kids opt for the t-shirt nearly every day.

I never grew up with school uniforms, but I really love the idea of constraining what kids wear. One less distraction for the classroom, eliminates peer pressure for having the newest/coolest brands.[/quote]
