She'd probably be more into sports if she wasn't always wasting her time eating bananas in front of Mr. Peeble's pet shop.

Except that she could actually make some good money playing professional golf. Professional soccer? Not so much.

This isn't just about girls dressing inappropriately, it is also shifts the focus of having the latest fashion and back to learning. I know that back when I was in high school what clothes you wore played an important role in where you fit on the social ladder. To much concern goes into what you were wearing. In a way it levels the playing field for these kids. (end of rant, and as I type this I feel like a really old guy yet I am only 25).

That's kinda BS too ... HSs with uniforms still have ways of showing who's got the cash and who doesn't.

No uniform shoes, or earring, etc.

From someone who had a uniform policy - it doesn't do all the things that PTA meetings think it does. You can still pick out the poor kids, and the hot chics are still the hot chics no matter what they have on.

Yep. I probably looked like a rich kid simply because I always had $100 Shox on. You can look at bookbags and see if people look well off. When you hit high school look into the parking lot. Divisions still exist they are just a little bit more difficult to spot.

Ok, but on the flipside of that, did having the policy actually keep you from "expressing yourself", or whatever other BS reason people give for having a big problem with uniforms?

Why do birds fly upside down over Minnesota?

A lot of the stories in my favorite college magazine used to start that way.

Funny, I grew up hearing they did that over Iowa.

My kids have a dress code and I think it's actually cheaper. Certainly not more expensive. My oldest would like to wear more expensive stuff but she's not the boss. I don't have to worry about sending my teenager out the door in one outfit and having her wear something different into the school.
