I think the schools should do away with the dress code and let the kids express themselves however thay want. Who gives the schools the right to tell my kids how to dress?

When the kid has put up with the teachers for 12 years they should get a diploma. And I won't even go to the sports issues where they should stop keeping score and give everyone a trophy.

The kids need to get used to a dress code. Most businesses require them. McDonald's has a uniform, the banks have a uniform, the people at Wal-mart do,too. You may not be able to tell from looking at them, but the kids working at Aeropostale even have to abide by a dress code. Maybe if the parents could stop coddling their kids and giving in to their every whim and start telling them to grow up and follow the rules, we'd all be a lot better off!!!

Please, dear God, tell me this is a joke. Tell me that you are being funny. Because if your post is sarcasm, then I applaud you. It is funny. If you are serious, then you are a jacka$s.

It was definately sarcasm. Life is not fair and our kids need to realize there are rules and expectations.

And the teachers need to have to abide by the SAME dress code... I've seen teachers dressed in things I would consider inappropriate (too short, see-through, sleeveless, etc).... Most teachers and education faculty will say the dress code is not that difficult to follow... well, I say let them have to dress the same way and get in the same trouble the kids do if they don't abide by it and then ask them about it.
What a thoughtless retort...break down the line of delineation between those with authority and those subject to it...way to think ahead. Using your logic, acceptable teacher dress would be shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops.quote:Originally posted by Calypso:

As I said in the other thread, I dress professionally every day, including at after-school functions.

Good for you... but what are you considering to be professional-style dress?
Like I stated before, the faculty should have the SAME dress code as the students. And having the "spirit" shirt to be mandatory on Fridays is ridiculous. I can see them maybe having the students (and faculty) wear the school colors if they don't want to wear the spirit shirt, but this should not be mandatory either.

I just don't see what is wrong with the dress code. Nothing I read seems bad at all.

Yes, I have a son.
While I buy my work clothes from fairly higher-end places, I buy all my casual stuff like jeans (Levi's, Wranglers) from Walmart, Target, K-mart or TJ Maxx or even Sam's when they have a table full of stuff.
When I'm splurging, I might go to Martins for trendy casual wear.
Many would frown upon shopping for clothes from places like this. I've never understood why paying more is somehow better.
I NEVER spend more than $15.00 on a pair or shorts. If you can't do that, you aren't shopping wisely.
