[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Brent we have uniforms, but the rules are pretty lax. You can get away with wearing pretty much any white/khaki/green article of clothing. So it doesn't feel like kids are being policed. I think my DS would have been fine with or without, but my DD definitely benefits from the uniforms. She goes through phases where she only wears a certain item of clothing, and we just buy three sets and do laundry twice a week.

And you can definitely get away with never buying new, because people sell clothes that kids run out of via the local listserv or through the school (and it's pay as you wish).

I know at other schools people donate uniforms to the school so that families who can't afford to buy new can pick out what they like.[/quote]

And if you went to school in Europe this would just be the way it is, kids complain and parent love them but folks don't spend too much time debating it. Helps with school pride and issues outside the school building. On the bus home everyone knows which schools you went to[/quote]
