I feel safe saying she really couldn't care less if I agree with her or not. Why do you expect me to give a cyber high five to and a virtual backslap somebody for saying something I agree with any time they say it? She doesn't need or want my validation, there was no need to reinforce what she said, she said it well and it needed nothing further from me. I wouldn't if you didn't feel the need to respond to those who disagree with you. But then it isn't as much fun as arguing. Besides I was responding to your contention that NOBODY agreed with you which plainly isn't true.

I hate to come back to this thread about something I forgot to ask about when I first posted but feel I really do have to ask. At my sons school the boys are required to wear "dress clothes" when they go to other schools for games, lectures, music, etc. Is this no longer common in schools ?

At my sons school the boys are required to wear "dress clothes" when they go to other schools for games, lectures, music, etc. Is this no longer common in schools ? More and more schools around here are going to dress codes at all times. Mostly it is khakis or black pants, with polo shirts of a few colors that have been approved. We do not have them yet at the school I work at, but they do have dress codes at the middle schools we feed in to. I hope we get them soon. The ways that some of these children dress, even at the elementary level that I work at, really blows my mind. Then mom or dad walk in, and you see where they get it from. A mom came to see me the other day and she had a shirt on that said "Yeah, I am a bitch, but I'm not your bitch!" I looked at her and said why would you wear that to an elementary school that your child attends? She was actually embarrassed and covered it up, it was a shirt she slept in and she had just thrown on jeans to run up to the school.

I have an easier time picturing male menopause, though I wouldn't dream of trying to emulate. I have a hard enough time managing one personality [:D]

My kids are out of public school now, but I would have been very supportive of a school uniform, for a whole variety of reasons. Every time the administration brought it up, though, people, including parents, would just go crazy against it. Supposedly it stifled their kids' freedom of expression. I never understood it. Having a uniform would have eliminated a lot of the problems with the kids not dressing appropriately, as well as eliminating some of the issues related to kids feeling out of place because they couldn't afford the latest and hottest clothes.

I think that's why school's are gradually returning to uniforms and dress codes. They saw how their darlings expressed themselves when given freedom [:)]

I agree 100% Iass. It makes me smile though, the admin at one local school caught on to the fact that the girls were rolling up the waist band on their skirts to make them super short. So they changed the skirts to skorts or whatever you want to call them. The middle part prevents them from doing that. [:D]

Perhaps this whole topic just confuses me because it seems only to be about what females wear. As far as I have for years understood all schools have some sort of dress code( no shirts with pot leafs on them. No shirts with swear words. No shirts with beer adds, etc) I mean really my son got told he couldn't colour his hair blue and take part in track(which kills him because atm my hair looks like a rainbow coloured lions) He also got todl that he can not wear a shirt that says "I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter" Naya can't swear her shirt that says Hooters on it though there is nothing on it but an owl. Vic can't wear his "Big Johnson" shirt either. Why is it that this shirt is okay just because it has a pink ribbon on it and is being worn by girls. I am rather sure Noah would get in a large amount of trouble if he wore the liveins shirt that says "Let me feel your breasts...for lumpsI'm a doctor, I swear " Even though under that it says to be aware breast cancer can kill and has a ribbon on it.

quote: I would have been very supportive of a school uniform Actually I agree, especially for the second reason you listed, the peer pressure reason. that can be very viscous, especially among girls.

This particular thread started with an incident that involved female cheerleaders, that's why it was female oriented.

It was an opportunity to teach alright, an opportunity to teach the older members of society that the line between what is and isn't appropriate has moved, it isn't where it was when you were in high school. Unfortunately, none of you guys caught that. Oh well, we can only hope that a few will catch on the next time good sense and rationality butt heads with prudery. Some of us actually did.
