President Bush began the day by discussing strengthening social security and later welcomed the Environmental Youth Award Recipients to the White House. The President also attended the swearing-in ceremony of John Negroponte. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

Maybe it is just a different culture in the UK.

A lot of school relax the uniform for 16 - 18 year olds but up to 16 they are expected to wear it.

Regarding the issue of looking the same from my experience if there is no uniform the kids themselves give themselves one in wearing what is the latest fashion which normally means the same colour and style tops and trousers or skirts so by default you have created one.

IMHO I think it just looks nice especially with the younger children and I also think it instills a form of discipline both for the child and the parents and is good experience to the child for correct and proper dressing later in their working life.

I am late to the dose tonight, but what was Negroponte being sworn in for? I can't remember. All I can think of is ambassador to Iraq or the UN, and I know neither of those are right. Thanks all. Love Rocky Mountain Mama.

So far, I think I'm okay with it. Next week, though, the dose doubles and the doctor said I might not get any side effects until then.

He was sworn in as the first National Intelligence Director.

I'm just seeing your posts about the uniforms. As others have said, most US kids don't wear a uniform, tho some lower income public schools have started in order to avoid gang identification and to save parents money on clothes.

I went to Catholic school for 12 years and wore a uniform every freaking day. When I was in prep school, while the rest of the world was in miniskirts, we were wearing wool blazers and skirts to our knees (measured by the nuns, thank you). Anything to keep us girls from looking fashionable.

I still nauseated when I wear navy blue. : )

Schools in the UK have recognized that children want to look fashionable so many of them have introduced a more casual uniform which reflects modern mode of dress.

Also taking into consideration many children have to be up early so short gray skirts may not be practical they now allow girls to wear trousers.

The following photos are of a junior school and the second one is in fact the current uniform of the school that I went to.

Though the girl in the photo wearing a skirt is wearing one that is fairly long and maybe considered not very modern the majority that wear skirts and I see the children going to the school most morning wear more modern ones very often very short ones. So I think the schools here have taken the middle ground basically making children have a uniform but not the starchy tradition image of one.

I'm praying that in about 6 weeks I can changed this to, "Returned home safely". We continue to pray for all the troops to return home safely.
