When Kyra switched schools last year, it took an adjustment. Not only for Kyra with the change in school and friends, but for us parents as well. If you are not familiar with the Waldorf ways, let's just say a common word to define it is "crunchy". One of the biggest adjustments right off the bat was the dress code. Nothing too drastic, it is very moderate. No letters on the shirt unless it is a school shirt, no pictures on the shirt, unless it is a school shirt, tie dye, the wilder the better, is even encouraged. Bottom line, kids can not wear logo's. Got a shirt with a Nike swoosh? Leave it at home. This is what I find odd:
If you look closely, this picture on this shirt is allowed because this is a school shirt. You can not have a Nike branding or any other commercial driven shirt, but you can wear a shirt that depicts one man stabbing and killing another with a sword, bringing him to a certain, unfavorable, bloody death.
Or this shirt. No, nudity is not forbidden. Your shirt can not have letters on it that forms words, but you can proudly display a naked man on your school shirt! Really? Nudity and brutal violence? Just fine. Nike? Never. Not at Waldorf.

Funny comparison. But I understand why they say no to branding.
