<p>Actually, lots of day kids often stay for dinner (including my son), so they do need to change. There are no sit down dinners during the winter, however, except on Sundays, so that makes it easier in the cold. But it’s true, for fall and spring, you have to change. I don’t hear that much complaining about formal class dress from the kids I know-- but I think some kids choose not to go to DA (or other schools with similar dress codes) because they know they want a more casual place. I think it just depends on the kid.</p>
