I was sitting outside with four of my 6th grade students – all girls. Tomorrow is Spring Picture Day and students don’t have to wear their uniform of red/white/blue polo shirt and tan pants. It’s a rare “Free Dress Day” for them.

“It’s Free Dress Day tomorrow!” One hollered.

“I’m not wearing a dress though, even though it’s picture day,” sighed another.

“Yeah, wearing a dress on Free Dress Day is a total waste!”
