when I was going to school, starting with elementary, after I had left that school, they implemented a uniform program.
When I went to middle school, they already had a uniform program, and changed it to a slightly more variable from when I was there (when I was going, it was white tops, and black pants, with black shoes, and yes, a belt was required even if you didn't need it...after that, they started allowing khaki pants and even navy blues...kinda weird)
High school, no uniform. Unless we had a band thing going on.
keep in mind I went to public schools...couldn't afford private schools, and most of the ones here were Catholic...I'm not into that God s**t...
don't get me wrong though, I wasn't against dating girls that went to all girl catholic schools...they tended to be the most daring... twisted

Here the Catholic schools are basically public -- when they do the yearly door-to-door census, they ask if you would rather have your taxes support Edmonton Public or Edmonton Catholic schools, and they divide the tax money accordingly.
I think maybe ONE of the Catholic schools in town has uniforms. There is another school, Vimy Ridge, that has uniforms, and I think the Nellie McClung program is a uniformed program. Vimy is private I think, but the Nellie McClung program is public.
Where I grew up, there were three elementary schools and your address determinded which you went to. They were all public, none were catholic. There was one high school. If you didn't want to go to the high school, you either moved to another city (a few people went away to boarding schools. Not many though, we were a pretty poor town), you were home schooled, or you did like me and took correspondence school -- which is public, by the way. One of the local churches started a private Christan school, but they closed due to lack of funding and crappy educational quality. The Christian schools around here are the same -- lower quality buildings, outdated textbooks, limited technology.

Arcanas don't get me wrong though, I wasn't against dating girls that went to all girl catholic schools...they tended to be the most daring... twisted So, because I'm not religious, I'm not enough for you during the night time hours? Thanks a lot. stare
For the first three years of my wee life, I was raised in a private school. Let me get this straight, it was NOT Catholic. I could care less if Catholicism has the highest Christian denomination. It was a Lutheran school. The only thing I liked about that school was my friends and the food. If you didn't have a cold lunch from home, you would be provided pizza, Taco Bell or McDonalds.
It was such a pain in the butt for a little girl to run around in uniforms with a mother who would freak out at the slightest stain.
I was switched to a public school a 10 minute walk from the house for my 3rd grade year. Let's just say that my grades became stellar when I did. whee
After that, I stayed in the public setting.
@Elcia: Speaking of classes, you know that the economy sucks, right? Because a good amount of school have to make some sort of reform, classes have become bigger. A teacher from my last year of high school said that he's expecting that class sizes to go from 15-30 (depending on how popular the class is, whether it's a necessary class for the student, etc.) to 40-45 kids. It's horrifying.
