I never went to a school with uniforms and never once worried about my clothes. Kids should learn not to waste time with trivial stuff like that. If adults force them to wear certain clothes they will 1) not learn to work in a heterogeneous environment and 2) place undue importance on dress because adults seem to think that it's important.
If your kids can't concentrate because of what they or their neighbors are wearing, it's not a problem with the clothes. It's a problem with the kids*. They're going to have to learn to act responsibly eventually, shoving them all in uniforms just covers up the problem.
*By which I mean, it's a problem with the teachers. If you're trying to teach math before the kids are capable of sitting quietly, you're doing it wrong.

Great post. This is how parents/schools should raise their children, instead of forcing them to wear uniforms.Hatta wrote:I never went to a school with uniforms and never once worried about my clothes.

I'm with you on this. But ladies, please stop with the Ugs. I don't care if they feel like walking on clouds, they makes yas look all kinds of sillies.

touche Hatta. Having actually tried on Ugs, yes they are like walking on clouds and they do look like earmuffs.

I know you're into some aspect of Japanese culture, but don't ever go to Japan. You'd hate 90% of the people you see on the street!
