Same for me. Even as a young teen, I realized the benefits of a uniform and how it calmed and focused the most raging fashionistas among us. My kids now go to public school middle-school. The only requirement seems to be that one doesn't come to school naked. Our kids are fine, but my wife and I are nonetheless quite conflicted with the environment at the school....
oh, I don’t have kids yet, but I can imagine how tense it is for parents to try and figure out the best possible choices for their kids.
