It works for every other school that has implemented it. But what would you suggest, tie-die? Hindu robes? Jeans and tee shirt? Or perhaps the way it was: ghetto garb and prosti-tots?

See, this is the crux of the matter. I don't see anything wrong with "boring" dress in school. This is not a fashion show or a place to express your individualism. It is school. It's not always fun and games. You stick with the rules and "conform" and you'll likely succeed in life. Don't conform and you will either fail miserably or succeed wildly with a greater chance of failing miserably.

The overriding fact is this: We humans place waaaaaaay to much emphasis on appearance and waaaaaay to little on exercising our children's brains.


I totally agree, GoFish.
