Is this how kids dress at most public high schools?

why does everything have to devolve to a race issue. So tired of it.

BIPOC peoples live a life of extreme oppression in the United States.

How can you not see how oppressed you are by systemic white racism? Did you not attend university in this country?

+1. It's the first thing I noticed, too -- even before looking to see whether any of them had masks.

+2.

I know it’s not fair those white kids aren’t gracing any colored folk with the whiteness of their white presence. They are keeping all the whiteness to themselves and it’s just not right.

I personally think it's fine as long as they all have equal resources and access to a good education and childhood.

Comfortable is one word to use for it. Sloppy is the other.

Mature is one word to use for it. Laughably uptight is the other.

NP. I hardly think someone is uptight for thinking that wearing sleepwear outside of the house makes them uptight. Wearing clothing appropriate to whatever you are doing is not exactly asking too much of people.

Right, which makes you one of the uptight people. Don’t worry, you’re in good company.

At one point, jeans were strictly for farmers and ranchers because the jeans were work clothes. Do you wear jeans? Are you a farmer?

Times change.

Two of our children attend very selective colleges and their classmates are absolutely NOT dressed like bums. David Brooks teaches part-time at Yale and writes the casually cool and polished kids all look like they're ready for a job interview at any moment.

Nary a sweatpant at Yale, you say? I leave it to the DCUM slueths to find evidence to the contrary.

We live in a Nordic country and the kids here dress exactly the same.

I hope this is a joke.

Yes I was educated in the US. There are parts of the US that are majority white; there are also pockets of the US that have a ton of Asians, or Hispanics. Not everything has to devolve into a race issue.

This thread is about how kids dress for school, and you guys make it about race.

Public high school. That would be the clue.

It’s winter in Chicago. I think the look they’re going for is called “warm.”

At least they’re covered, right?

Yes, this is accurate.

Girls pretty much only wear black leggings. Guys wear joggers or shorts (yes, even in the winter).

My 14 yo has maybe 3 pairs of jeans because she just doesn't wear them often. She does, however, have 23 pairs of black leggings and she can tell the difference in them all.

She will come home from school and take off her "school" leggings and put on "lounge" leggings, which are older ones that are somewhat faded and overall more comfy, according to her. How a pair of leggings can be "more comfy" is beyond me, but teenagers, man.

My teen sons both wear mainly sweats/joggers in the winter and basketball shorts in the summer. My one son has ONE pair of jeans and only because I bought them for him because I told him that he cannot go out to eat with me at certain restaurants in sweats.
