My son is attending a brand new elementary school this year, entering the 4th grade. The new board and some parents made a decision for uniforms. I am totally against them, can't stay why exactly. Maybe as others said the freedom of expression is important no matter the childs age.

I had called the school to see if I could transfer him to another that didn't require uniforms. I was elated to discover the uniform attire is "preferred" and not "required".
