As far as uniforms being cheaper, so not in my case. I can shop our thrift store and get new or next to new clothes (gap, gymbo, levi, etc) for under $1 each. They rarely have uniform stuff and not in many sizes. I personally think uniforms make kids look like a little uniform army and that's just freaky in my book. For the original poster, my school sends out a survey at the end of the year asking if parents want uniforms and it is always voted down. This is an elementary school. Next year, my oldest goes to middle school and they have uniforms, but you can buy the top options thru the school for like $5 to $10.

I will say that if you have an awkward sized kid who it is hard to find clothes for, uniforms are a nightmare! And I think it is safe to say that this mom thinks uniforms suck!!! Good luck getting it changed op.
