You are making it more than what it really is. Children go to school to learn and get an education. IT IS NOT A RUNWAY FOR SHOWING OFF DESIGNER BRAND LOGOS!!! I understand children that are in high school should be allowed some more freedom seeing that they are coming into adulthood but children in elementary and middle school have no business wearing make-up and having any type of hair dyes!! they are children not mini me's!!! Stop living your once youth in your children!!!  Your child will have more than plenty of time in the day to show of "her individuality"!!! Individuality is not made up of what children wear, it is made of the kind of person they are!! their character, their self being!! More and more kids are going to school with less clothing and making it all about what they wear and not about what they are learning...Less and less children are interested in college and it is because of parents like you.. Uniforms DO NOT TAKE AWAY ANYONE'S FREEDOM as you so put it...it will just allow the students to focus on their education and not their CLOTHING!!! And you always have the FREEDOM to move your child to a non-uniformed school or better yet, if you want so much FREEDOM for child, HOME SCHOOL HER!!
