[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be provocative:[b] white parents don't want the uniforms,[/b] so when you see your uniformed DCPS switch to non-uniformed, you'll know that you've reached the tipping point.[/quote] Black parent here. This is why I don’t like the idea of uniforms, and the EOTP vs. WOTP divide in this—too much tied to race in DC. Also, uniforms don’t improve outcomes in low-performing schools, as had been previously thought.[/quote] Correct. Uniforms don't improve outcomes or school culture. However, they can save parents money and make it easier for kids to decide what to wear in the morning. My caucasian child went to uniform schools from kindergarten through 5th grade. He had no problem with it and neither did I.[/quote]
