It helps with making sure the students that are in the school attend that school, and can certainly help with socioeconomic bullying if some kids aren\u2019t wearing the \u201ccool clothes.\u201d  Overall, most schools around the country would tell you school uniforms have been a positive part of the education process.\n<!--more-->\nHowever, the Stapleton community always seems to face challenges other communities don\u2019t have.  So, school uniforms in Stapleton are causing some unique issues.  \u201cOn Tuesday, the wrong kid jumped into my car and I didn\u2019t even know it,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/new-teacher-getting-plenty-of-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bill Roberts<\/a> parent Kyle Scott.  \u201cI was six blocks away before I looked into the rearview mirror and realized it wasn\u2019t my kid.  The good thing is, she took it really well, and we got her to her rightful parents.  I eventually found my daughter as well.\u201d\nWith all the kids wearing uniforms, it has been difficult for parents to spot their child.  \u201cI went outside the school to pick up my son,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/swigert-mcauliffe-international-school-changes-to-intergalactic-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McAuliffe<\/a> parent Mindy Bidler.  \u201cTo make matters worse, when I yell out \u2018Aiden\u2019 25 kids still turn around.  My son and I are working on a better system for next week, but it has been tough.\u201d\nThe challenge isn\u2019t just for the parents, but for the kids.  Stapleton residents have very similar <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/2011-study-stapleton-alleys-safer-but-not-safe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vehicles<\/a>, so it is hard for young children to always discern a BMW SUV from an Audi SUV or a Volvo SUV.  On top of that, many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/sun-diversity-report-strawberry-blondes-increased-7-in-%E2%80%9811\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">moms look alike<\/a>, so kids see a <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/hot-mom-a-lattes-headed-to-stapleton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pretty mom<\/a> and they just go with them, or jump in the back seat.\nParents are working through these problems with their children.  \u201cIt\u2019s on us to figure out a solution,\u201d said Bidler.  \u201cMost of us like the uniforms, so those aren\u2019t going anywhere.  As parents, we need to work with our kids to be problem solvers.  I am sure we will figure this out in the next couple weeks.\u201d  So far, all of the reported wrong-kid or wrong-parent situations have been minor and no <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapleton-sets-national-record-for-shortest-amber-alert-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">amber alerts<\/a> have been issued.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3957","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-62","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
