Okay, can't resist. . . ;-)

Aren't uniforms about equalizing all the kids - those that can't afford

expensive clothing aren't set apart from those that can. . . a nice socialist

thing. . . equalize all the students/citizenship by requiring uniforms . .

.. people judge based on personality rather than clothing. You'll tend to

strive to become more of an individual.

Your granddaughter already has the capitalism mindset right. . . work

hard, pay for what you want - if you want to wear denim, you can pay extra for

the right.

The poor kids that can't afford the $5 aren't allowed to wear denim to

school. Work hard to get what we want . . . just the exact post I started out

with!

Jan ;-)

PS. Truly, if you look at the history of the world, socialism just doesn't

work. Never has. It breeds tyranical governments and limits individuality.

Think it works? - ask people from China, Venezuala, Cuba or Russia why they

want to come to the US. Millions of veterans have died protecting our

constitution so we wouldn't have to be socialists. But, that's what our

current admin is trying to lead us into. Again, the heatlh care bill wasn't

about

health - it was about government control of the people. (Talk to an

informed vet if you want more details.)

Jan,

I'm an informed vet and honestly don't have a clue what you mean.

There are also many reasons that schools would want kids to wear

uniforms. One of them might be similar to the reason that the armed

forces and many of our public servant groups wear uniforms. Organized

team sports wear uniforms.

To be honest, I'd love for public schools to go to uniforms. When

visiting countries that do have school uniforms, I have to say, it's

quite fun to talk to kids about their school colors and attire. The

parents love it. Fewer clothes to purchase.

I'm sure you fear socialism, and maybe rightly so. What I don't

understand is why otherwise intelligent individuals equate appropriate

healthcare for all with a form of government. Perhaps you can point me

to the exact spot in the legislation where there is wording that says

" Guess what folks, we're all gonna be socialists now " .

I'm not one to favor fear mongering and much prefer to deal with the

facts and have a debate based on those facts.

Have a lovely evening.

Truly my 2 cents on uniforms. Attended public schools throughout and 1 of my 2

kids is in public (other in private right now) and I just had a school uniform

discussion with a mom friend of mine last week. I remember as a child, I wanted

school uniforms in the worst way. Our family had " enough " money, but my parents

didn't care to keep up with the ' latest brands (which hello, as an adult,

I do now get!) so we had a very limited clothing budget to spend each year. The

rest of the cash was up to us (the kids). I remember distinctly, wishing I had a

uniform so my parents (would likely) purchase that for me and all my limited

clothing needs could be on fun items I wanted, instead of trying to stock a full

closet of clothes I liked.

Wish it for my kids too. Would keep the focus on the material and less on the

other things in the enviornment (what he/she is wearing, etc). And again, could

wear whatever you want outside of school!

As for the healthcare debate, I'll leave that part all to you
