[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 20183, member: 923"] For those who believe in sticking to the tradition of the school in color and makeup of the uniforms, I agree that this is often a drawing point for some athletes. The two things that mean the most when parents are raising children are love and discipline. If you have both administered equally, your children will be good kids and good citizens. A parent who does not have discipline and some traditions will see their children wavering on values and morals. I like to use the analogy of the lighthouse. If a lighthouse was not stationary, it would be useless, and the ships would all get lost or stuck in the sandbars and other hazards of the sea. The stationary lighthouse allows the ships captains to steer safely, because they always know where the safety lies in the midst of the nightime hazards of the sea. A child who has the same values and morals taught to them daily along with some traditions, always have something to get them on the right path again when they wander off the safe paths. They use the lighthouse as their guide. Moving values and morals cause them to be unstable with no guidance. Possibly, a school that does not change at the whim of the athletes, may be much more of a steadying influence on the kids coming to them who need discipline and tradition. They need some values and traditions to help them become stable. For this reason, some may choose a school because it has a history of traditions and a penchant for being stable. So, traditions may not be a bad thing. Would some outlandish uniform help to win games or to become a life within itself? [/QUOTE]
