  1. We should assume that the veterinarian suspected the horse had a heart condition just like he suspected that the horse died of an aneurism — clearly he didn’t perform a necropsy there on the scene. I don’t think we should interpret that the owner rode the horse in a polo match despite knowing the horse’s condition – the young man and his father likely didn’t know ahead of time.

  2. It’s a good thing that this seems to be considered more of a science experiment and teaching tool, because saving $600 per year on electric is never going to pay for the $54,000 price tag.

  4. @Rusty1, yes, I AM correct. Kids don’t wear the uniform 24×7; they will change into what is comfortable when they get home. You must not have girls at home.

  7. One more thing to consider…in the end, my kids really appreciated not having to decide what to wear to school each day. Just put on the same pants and polo shirt each day (hopefully a clean set).

  10. @JRubes, your statement about uniforms being an additional financial burden is incorrect. While you do have to buy uniform pants and shirts upfront, you save on your student’s overall clothing budget. The cost of upkeep to the rest of the student’s wardrobe drops dramatically. School is no longer the fashion show that many, many students turn it into.
