Uniforms in schools often stir up debate—are they too rigid, or do they actually cultivate something deeper? In this conversation, host Davies Owens is joined by Joanna Haralson, founder of Uniformee, to explore the real impact of uniforms in classical Christian schools.
Uniforms aren’t just about matching outfits. They shape daily habits, reduce distractions, and help students focus on what matters most – learning and growing in virtue. From the practical benefits to the deeper cultural and spiritual significance, this episode unpacks why what students wear really does matter.
🎧 Tune in to discover:
- Why uniforms can be a powerful tool for unity and order
- How clothing choices affect a child’s sense of identity and focus
- Practical ways schools and parents can rethink uniforms as formation, not just dress code
Listen in to rethink uniforms – not as a restriction, but as a tool for shaping hearts and minds.
