Dress codes

Later in highschool they made a rule about wearing spikes.. but I still wore mine, I actually didn't realise there was a rule about it till a student told me. I think I was one of those students that teachers just didn't want to get involded with.

Piercings were allowed.

There was a rule about bright colored hair at my old highschool, but there was not a rule about having a mohawk, and when I had a mohawk my principal was really pissed, but there was nothing he could do about it.. no rule on it then later on it didn't bother him much.. and slowly I would start to add color to my hair every so often hehe, at the end of the year it was multi color. I was told to dye it normal but never did

I went to a Catholic school that had very strict uniform codes (we looked like a bunch of clones), and I still managed to get ostracised by other students for being "weird". Go figure.

The school I went to before that (an all girls school) also had very strict uniform codes, that included us having to kneel down and have our skirt length measured - if your hem didn't touch the ground while kneeling there would be trouble. Having said that, this school's sports uniform was WHITE and SEE THROUGH - imagine 1000 pubescent girls having to wear that. Pervy fuckers.

I went to catholic high school, had to wear tan pants and blue, white or yellow shirts. it didn't matter, you still had cliques and shit. of course, I wear the same jeans and t shirts week after week, so maybe it got drilled into me anyways...

I cannot believe we evolved to the point where our clothing (body cover) is important.

I dont think it is a matter of reform the dress code. More so the generations learning to respect themselves and others. If they can learn that then usually dress code wont be an issue.

I've always had a uniform at school and I think its the best thing. It stops a lot of bullying due to not wearing the "cool" brands ect.

Personally I don't care as long as I don't have to wear a uniform. I'm not too fond of my hair so I wasn't too fond of the no hats rule at my HS, but I still never had problems in HS or at any of the jobs I've had so far because I don't dress like a dumbass. Ninety percent of my wardrobe is pants that fit, t-shirts and boots (I'd mention socks and undies, but no one sees those, making them irrelevant) and I keep my clothes clean. It's not that hard, folks.

As far as "too keep kids from bullying each other", well, isn't that a behavioral issue, not a dress issue?

you mean like, since humans have been able to think rationally?

FUCK loincloths!!!!

yeah, that was part of the idea of our dress codes, but then kids were buying the most expensive white shirts and blue pants possible-and letting everyone know about it. so, even if everyone has to wear the same color, a lot of kids were still getting maid fun of for not having the 'right' clothes.

Yeah, how stupid are we for having the ability to survive in cold climates!

She said 'stabby'. That is sooo funny.

Uniforms are always good. I have worn a few uniforms in my life. It makes getting dressed easier.

Don't listen to her.

I went to Catholic school too, and I tended to like the dress code more than I disliked it. It was pretty basic, just navy blue slacks and a white/blue/yellow dress shirt, and skirts/pants for girls. You could still get away with an expression of "personal style" with little subtle changes to the uniform, and it eliminated the excessive "fashion show" attention whoring that high school kids get so caught up with. I always felt that the need to attract attention to oneself based solely on one's wardrobe was the most shallow and transparantly desperate kind of personal expression, anyway, so I think it's a good thing for kids in school to not have to worry about that sort of superficial bullshit at all.

Don't say that too loud around here, dude...
