(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I think the school should change the uniforms to blue jean pants, shorts, and skirts, with school t-shirts. The school could also benefit from the sales of the t-shirt. They don't need to be too pricey either. It would be easier on the parents when purchasing the jeans and t-shirts.
