School Uniforms
>> Tuesday, March 31, 2009
What does everyone think about school uniforms? Zayneb recently asked my what my school uniform looked like when I was a kid. I told her we didn't have them, that we wore whatever we wanted. She thought that was just the greatest thing. I personally like that the kids have uniforms for school. It takes out the guess work about what to wear for school. Also when all the kids are dressed the same there is a lot less comparison and competition about kids' clothes. I think they look nice in them and it's conducive to learning in a way.
On the other hand, we have to make sure every hair elastic is white only and have plenty of clean white socks. The school sells the uniforms for a lot but you can buy say the navy pants anywhere as long as the are plain and no cargo pockets or anything. Also I learned that some people just buy blue shirts anywhere and get the school logo embroidered on somewhere and it's a lot cheaper that way. We'll definitely do that next year. I do wish their uniform was something easier and more casual like a navy polo and khaki pants though.
