However, if I were to have kids in school, I would be 110% for uniforms because I think it offers even footing to those that cannot afford certain brands that make you "cool" (whatever that is!) This allows people to be judged for who they are not who they are wearing. I also whole-heartedly agree with the inappropriate clothing that is often times worn. I still think that the bottom line with this problem is overindulged and under-parented kids. There are so many things out there that I would not want to see my child wear if they were grown. I certainly don't want to see it in a hormone-riddled school setting! Just me personal thoughts... Because we are blessed to home school, our school uniform tends to be comfy pajamas!

I put my foot down when it comes to bare bellies and butt cracks showing! But I also try to remember what it was like when I was a teenager - I remember arguing with my Mom about what looked good and what didn't. What was "in style" and what wasn't. So when my girls want to wear something that I think is hideous (not revealing...just ugly!), I usually give in. Of course, I would really like to pin a note to them that says "I was NOT dressed by my Mother today." With teenage girls of 17 & 15, I definately agree with dressing appropriately.

My girls started private school in 8th grade and actually haven't complained too much about it. They complain more about the other kids getting away with NOT being in dress code! My son has only had to do it for a couple of years now and I had to figure out which shorts the boys wore ( NOT the pleated ones!) but once we figured that out we've been okay. (Except that there seems to be some boys that wear shorts ALL winter so he wants to also. WHO lets their kid wear shorts on a day when it's freezing?) I also insist that they change once they get home from school. You'd be amazed how often I have to remind them to do this! You'd think they'd be wanting to change out of that hated uniform asap, wouldn't you? Guess they don't "hate" it as much as they proclaim or at least that's what I tell 'em when they ignore me. I keep telling my hubby, it's our job to teach them all these things as they grow!! Well, I have to say I pretty much agree with you on all of it.
