According to Nimue, her kids are as poor as they can get. When she talks to
them, they change their clothes to more appropriate attire. She has not
stated that it has ever been a problem when she talks to her students. She
is upset with the dress code and sending kids home to change. I do think
there is the hypothetical kid for whom money is so tight that the kids
cannot afford any clothes. My own dad had literally two shirts to wear: one
to wear one to wash. When that is the problem, it can be brought to the
attention of the school and they can help deal with it. I don't think the
whole school is having that problem, or else Nimue wouldn't be able to get
her kids to change.

I recall working at a camp counselor one summer at a camp for
underprivalged kids. Most of the kids had a reasonable number of
clothes, but one little girl arrived with two outifts (the one on her
back and one in a bag). Both were pretty sad looking by the end of the
month-long camp session. (I don't remember what the laundry set-up
was.)
