What is Booju’s take on school uniforms

Comments

I'd choose the school with the uniforms because it's easier for me to shop. My children's school has a dress code. Polo shirts of school colors with navy/khaki pants or shorts. I wouldn't send them to a school that went as far as dictating hair styles, piercings, or what color socks you can wear (unless I had to). But I love the basic dress code my kids school has.

Most public schools have SOME limits on hairstyles and piercings. My kids can't have funky colored hair, for example.

My kid's school doesn't have any stipulations regarding anything other than top and bottom. Though I do make my son get rid of his summer mohawk before school starts. I'd like him to learn that people will judge you based on how you look (regardless if it's right or not). My husband most likely wouldn't have his job if he showed up at his interview, or met with new clients, with a mohawk and some teachers may not take my son seriously if he had one.

You just made me realize, that since I work from home, I can put blue streaks into my hair if I want. Hmm....

Ugh... I teach in a district with dress codes and I hate it because the enforcement of codes really vary from school to school and a lot of the parents just buy them a few outfits so some of the kids come to school ridiculously grimy.
