It is a marvellous social leveller. It gives the students a strong sense of identity and pride in their school. From the parents' point of view, the benefits are endless. It is much less expensive. My daughter has two skirts, six blouses, one pair of black shoes, six pairs of navy socks, one school sweater and one school jacket.
Uniforms can last three years barring a sudden growth spurt or carelessness.
Nor have uniforms suppressed independent thought, given the number of entrepreneurs, artists and performers our schools have produced. Try it, you may like it. Every-one was happy, with no peer pressure because of our clothes. Your coverage of the Kosovo conflict has given me a broader insight into that quagmire than the regurgitated spin from some media outlets. I am still confused by the mixed messages that have been pouring out of Liberal Ottawa these days.
