school uniforms

When I was a kid I would have rebelled against having to wear one. Now as a parent, my child's school requires uniforms. She hates it but for me, it has made one part of my life easier. It doesn't really cost me that much less for clothes but knowing that there is no argument in the morning over what she is going to wear is a relief. She can wear her choice of shoes and she has many sneakers to choose from. As far as why schools do this, they say it is better for reducing bullying over kids who dress better than others and junk like that, I say that is garbage. If someone wants to pick on you, they will find a way!
