On the school uniform issue...

I personally am completely agnostic about school uniforms.  I can see their value, I can see the arguments against them.  In both cases where we are considering schools with uniforms, the uniform consists of a school polo shirt or a button-down shirt and khakis/khaki skirt or a plaid jumper.  That's pretty innocuous.  And, frankly, it's just not an issue I can get all that worked up about.

Our neighborhood school is a K-8 and the older grades are DEFINITELY a time when I can see the value of uniforms.  Let me tell you how much easier my life would have been in sixth grade if everyone had dressed the same.  I still think sixth grade would have been the worst school year ever, but it would have been a damn sight less bad.
