Good points made in this article not only do uniforms Foster safety but also security. I would think that would be a real benefit to parents, especially in this environment.

When it comes to dress down days, I would say no, except on rare occasions, and a rare occasion would be when students perhaps need to dress in a costume to celebrate a certain period in history. But since most uniforms are not dress up, i.e. khakis and a golf shirt, then there’s really no need to dress down .

Thanks Karen. I agree with your thoughts on "dress down" days. This picture was the best I could find to remind me of the sweet, hard working, bright, and faithful students at Rafiki. May God bless you and your ministry.

Succinct. Well stated. True. The rubber really hits the road when we seek to help students understand the consequences of not being "in uniform."

Agreed. The discipleship opportunities are great and can be greatly used by skillful and thoughtful teachers, administrators, and parents. Thanks, Ted
