School uniforms

Laura’s school is considering adopting uniforms for the elementary level kids—I’m on the School Improvement Council, so I knew there was some discussion about this, but evidently it’s a little more serious than I thought, because she came home from school today with a brainstorming exercise on it. Ms. H has asked her class to write letters to the principal telling him what they think the pros and cons are. Laura’s list—just cons so far—includes this reason, my personal favorite: “Life would drain out of you if you couldn’t say ‘I like your clothes.’” Fourth grade, what a hoot.
