[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By their sweater vests!

JK, but I recently watched a movie that took place at a private school and they had the kids all in uniforms with sweater vests with the school crest on it. I realized that in movies ans tv, they always have private school kids wearing sweater vests. As a private school grad and parent, I have never seen a school where this was part of the uniform.[/quote]

Actually, at some boys schools they do wear them in the winter (not with school crests though) if they are required to wear sports coats all day long. It can be uncomfortable to wear winter coats over them, so if they wear sweaters under them, which is allowed, they are warm enough to not wear a coat on most days. This is especially useful if the school has multiple buildings and they go outside to change classes sometimes. It's basically the prep school version of a hoodie (where hoodies are not allowed).[/quote]

I don't live in DC and out school uniform includes a winter coat with the crest for cold weather, no vest.  Kids are not allowed to wear anything that is not part of the uniform.  My girls are a bit rebellious though and push the boundaries with their socks.  The little one wears colorful cat socks and the older one wears playful unmatched socks.[/quote]
