I Am A Strict Mom

Well hello everyone this is my first post here and I figure I should say hi in a most appropriate group.

I recently decided to send my kids to private religious schools and the turn around in their behavior and attitudes has been tremendous. The only issue of course was the fight to get them into their uniforms. They still do not like the uniforms and it's an ongoing fight but I do think they are learning they won't win this battle.

I think the uniforms are smart and emphasizes that they are there to learn not to show off for their peers. I am hoping next year it will be less of a struggle!

You obviously want the best chance for your kids do I commend that. I went o a private school the first 8 years. No uniforms how ever but they will likely accept that all are dressed alike and that purpose is to have them all on equal terms in dress. And they can dress as they please while out or at home.

@Swoop62: Exactly yes and above all of that a uniform puts the kids in the right frame of mind. It is something that teaches them that while they are at school the school is in charge of them and they have to obey the school rules

@Kathryn05: Another good point on that as they don't need to be looking at what others are wearing, they already know. :)

@Swoop62: For sure none of that competition that I used to have to endure every end of summer to find the best outfit to stand out
