Many people here in the US believe children should have the individuality to express themselves and not be made to look like everyone else. Others believe that kids that have to wear uniforms don't have the worry of fitting in with all the latest fashion trends and can just focus on their studies. Generally, in our state at least, only the private schools make children wear uniforms.
Are you getting nervous yet about leaving your home and friends?
This week my mother-in-law and father-in-law are staying with us for a week so we have been busy. They live in California. I will have more time to write once they leave on friday. Tomorrow we will have about 18 people total for a barbeque at our house.
