I think you need to ask yourself do your kids need two full sets of clothes. That, along with choosing to have four children, is a lifestyle choice. When you choose to have children, you accept the responsibilities, including financial obligations. Like the other comment, I think 800 dollars is absurd and exaggereated. And as it is a public school, the education is free, not all the other things that society has come to expect from our current system. Others who choose to be child free pay for your children's education, I think you can afford to dress your children accordingly to send them to school without complaining about it. Be thankful.
