      Private schools are not public schools. Impoverished cannot afford private schools. And Uniforms are not interchangeable.

        Ed choice has enabled many kids to attend private schools, tutition is actually less than the cost per pupil that that public schools cost.

          Wtf is Ed choice. Oh. another ‘only American’/scholarship-rewarding-elites thing again. You’re using ‘many’ very liberally.

      If you are going to a private school, it’s kinda implied money isn’t a huge issue anyways. Your parents are paying for you to attend this exclusive school, after all.

      But you can’t take Johnson Academy’s uniform to Brentwood. So, if Brentwood isn’t having a sale, what then?

        Ed choice has enabled many kids to attend private schools.

        Kids grow and their uniforms don’t fit, giving them to the school to resell as a fundraiser or giving them directly to other students is common. On top of that most private schools do not have embroidered cressents on their uniforms so they can be used interchangeably. Private schools are different than what you see on TV.
