When I was in the 5th grade, my mom ran for office, having moved me from my academically challenging Catholic school to the rural public school over the summer. I was bookish and miserable. I had been an extrovert but barely spoke at school. Oh and how I was bullied.

My mom put me back in private school during her campaign. She lost. But, after reading this, maybe not.

When bullied students end their lives, parents are suing. And schools are paying.

Interesting aside - though I loathed the colors and patterns, I really liked school uniforms. When Cosmic Jr went to a local charter (they were public schools and very limited back then), they had polo/khaki uniforms and he really liked it.

I dunno, it's really not that confining when you consider hair, nails, jewelry, and shoes. And it takes a lot of peer pressure off. Or it did for me.

Also, not married to the polo/khaki thing, though it does make summer easier with shorts. I'm also fine with solid color t-shirts and jeans or whatever works for the students and parents.

It really is nice not to have to worry about your outfit in the mornings. I still have 5 identical shirts in different colors for Zoom.
