Im guessing that “contact the school” means no uniform? I’m obviously way behind on all things DC and not perfectly up on my geography either, but glancing at this list...it looks like most of the schools in the tony parts of town don’t have uniforms, not do the application schools, but that the other schools do. Is that essentially the controversy?

Yes.

Of course, some tony private schools like Saint Albans have uniforms, so there's seemingly a paradox.  But the public school uniform has a different meaning, given that in the Eighties/Nineties urban schools that were considered ungovernable adopted uniforms to instill a sense of discipline (and so that the kids wouldn't be robbing each other (or worse) over some trendy article of clothing).  Either way, the uniform has a troubled connotation, which is why Hardy should join Deal in not having a uniform requirement.[/quote]

True on one level, but the defenders of Hardy uniforms like to equate them.   :lol: [/quote]
