Many parents were jubilant when the local school board voted to establish the wear of uniforms at schools in their jurisdiction. Parents realized a freedom that they had not felt for a very long time. They finally had some control over how their child would look everyday and the act of getting their child out the door to go to school was so much easier.
Parents realized that back to school uniforms allowed their children to get dressed by themselves. The parents were no longer tasked with hunting down a specific brand of sock that could only be worn with the most stylish fashion footwear that they had to find each summer at a mall. The socks that every child at home wore to school were all the same because the dress code at the school mandated it.
No child had to worry about whether they had the latest styles of clothing on their back either. The parents used to have to spend a surmountable amount of money on various shirts, pants and accessories for each child to wear to school throughout the year. All of these costs put quite a burden on the family budget and with the cost of back to school supplies there were many families that did not think that they could keep up with it for very long.
The back to school uniforms made life much easier for everyone in the family. The children seemed to be more self-assured when they dressed for school because the uniforms were crisp and had a very clean appearance at all times. The coordination of color choices was very effective in allowing each child to dress in their personal style even if there were many others at school that wore the same colors.
Some kids felt that they could relax in class and pay attention to what the teacher taught each day because they did not have to worry about whether they fit in with the crowd. With the uniform policy in force, the kids felt like they belonged and that is something that they might not have felt for a very long time.
Each child did learn over time that they could add special touches to the uniforms by using barrettes and bows in their hair. Older girls began to wear cosmetics that were very tasteful and refined yet they allowed the girls to show their individuality at times. The school dress code policies did not interfere in people being popular either. The popular groups found that the back to school uniforms gave them more time to spend with friends.
Some of the cheerleaders started a trend where the skirt styles were stylish to wear because they devised a way of shortening them by rolling the plaid fabrics at the waist. It was very easy to see who had picked up on this one stylish method of showing style while still adhering to school board dress code policies.
