Notably, the BV branch.

So, I’m sorry we came in 10 minutes before closing to get my kid his very own library card. Thank you for providing us the paperwork promptly and handling it quite efficiently.

However-comma.

Do not ever. EVER. Fucking question whether or not a woman is a mother just because she has a different last name than her child. I am not ‘legal guardian’. I do not want to be in the computer as hislastname as my lastname. I am Chicago. Wench. Wench. Weeeeench. And your simpering of ‘well we just have to ask, because the last names are different?’ holds absofuckinlutely no goddamn water when, after I have explained in small words that I am his mother and I did not change my name when I got married, you ask me 3 more times about the names and then insist on trying to put me in the computer with the wrong last name.

It shows you’re either too goddamn small minded to handle this, or such a fucking holier than thou wank that you purposefully go out of your way to cause trouble for those of us rabble-rousin uppity womyn who refuse to cleave to our husbands as fully as we ought.

I am so looking forward to the letter I’ll be writing to your boss.

No love what so damned ever.

WENCH.

Comments, please.

How do you feel about uniforms (ye olde bland khaki or navy pants, white, blue or red shirt) for children?

How do you feel about the uniforms being logo-ed with the school name and mascot, and thus you have to buy their stuff?

How do you feel about this being required for four year olds in a pre-school?

Edited to add a clarifcation or two, based on something Meg said in her comments.

The school does not have a kindergarten- children switch to a regular public school or a private school after finishing preschool at this school. Public school children here are not in uniforms. The school the kid is currently at DOES have an after school program for children who are in half-day kindergarten- and those kids? will not be required to be in the school uniform (too complicated- the kids are picked up at their regular, no-uniform kindergarten school and bussed to this school). Since we intend to send Sean to public school for kindergarten (we have excellent public K-12 schools in our district), he will not be wearing a uniform when he turns 5.

There is no choice on shirts. You must purchase their shirts and sweatshirts. As far as I can tell, girls are required to be in dresses (again, you must purchase theirs) or skirts.

Edited to answer for Matilda
Fast research shows we would end up spending approximately double to triple what we spend now per school year, in order to rig him out in enough of their stuff so that I would not be doing laundry every night. Money does not go to local school; the majority goes to corporate and the vendor. The five through 10 year olds who come for after school programs will not be required to be in uniform, and since the classes combine at the end of the day, you’ll have plenty of kids running around not in uniform, if that makes sense.
