[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do other DCPS schools require uniforms?  Why some and not others?  I dislike uniforms in private and public school, so I can't figure out why certain public school kids should have to wear them.[/quote]At Hardy, the families voted on whether or not to have uniforms. My kid was in 8th grade there when the vote was taken. I can't remember if we decided to vote since dd was graduating but as I recall we supported the idea. ~white professional OOB mom[/quote]

IMHO the uniforms send  a message that "we have to hold the reins very tight to maintain discipline in our urban school."  If this is the message -- among other challenges --  it any wonder that only 13% of the in-bounds population chooses Hardy?[/quote]

So then IYHO, why then does St. Albans have uniform? Why does Latin have one? Same reasoning? [/quote]

Albans does it for tradition.  I think Latin's thinking was perhaps closer to Hardy's, although the founder of Latin was also rather fond of old school traditions.[/quote]

Martha Cutts came from the Cathedral Schools, in fact she built them.

Odds are that she's forgotten more about uniforms and schools than you will ever know.

Agreed.  But Martha Catts was not Latin's founder.  She was its savior.[/quote]
Disagreed.   I respect Cutts a great deal.  But she did not "build" 114-year-old NCS or even take a meh NCS to a different level. Her tenure there continued an already-excellent foundation [/quote]
