Mom:"Would you like to wear the white shirt with the blue pants or the white shirt with the blue pants?"
Kid: "Sigh!!"
LOL
It also makes laundry easier for me. With a steady stream of foster children (sometimes there are six kids to one mommy) there is lots of laundry and having similar loads is easier.
My kids went to school where uniforms were required. When my son came home to be schooled halfway through 6th grade, I required him to continue wearing uniforms, 1) to instill in him that he was still "in school" and 2) because I had spent a great deal of money on those uniforms and we were gonna get our money's worth!! The habit just stuck. For us, it helps to distinguish school time from home time and the kids like changing into play clothes when done with school. The laundry ease still applies and when we go on field trips, people seem to respect us as a school group.
This year I am hoping to develop a logo for our school. As a back to school gift, this year I am giving each child a new polo shirt with our school initials and mascot name. This simple logo is what I have so far:
I found a seller on E-bay that does 'em (she says the extra stitching won't be on the shirts). It was a bit of a splurge, but the kids have always talked about having shirts with our school name on them. I think they will like them.

What a great idea to make a school logo. I probably wouldn't go as far as to have uniforms around here, but it's just Baby Boy and myself and we obviously know which one is teaching (him) and which one is learning (me) LOL.
You'll have to post a picture of the finished product once you get it in hand.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I really appreciate the kind words.
I Love making new blog-friends and so now I'll have to add you to my ridiculously long list of internet stops. :-)
The kids will LOVE them! I wish I had thought of that while we were still homeschooling. We only had one dress code, no pajamas after 9:00 am. We did have a name - The -- Academy of Academic Excellence. Very grandiose, but when we do something, we do it big :) I bet visors would be fun, too. You can even have the kids decorate their own - Oriental Trading Post sells them cheap. Keep up the good work. Be so blessed.
Wow...neat idea. I will check that out.

I had joked with my kids about making them wear uniforms (since they were pretty excited to finally be done with theirs). After reading your reasoning I think it's a great idea! I'm out of money or I just might run out Monday and get some. I guess for now they can wear their old uniforms. :) By the way thanks for stopping into my blog. I finally finished the school room, you could check back in...only a few small changes.
