[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our middle school dress code is similar to what your school's current code.  My daughter is just starting there but had already heard through the grapevine about how strict teachers are with enforcing it.  So much so that she went through her entire wardrobe to identify the clothes that would pass scrutiny.

I think what is being proposed doesn't make much sense - you may as well do the uniforms.  [b]The key really is enforcement and all teacher-leaders in the school need to be on the same page[/b] - otherwise it's just creating another code that no one will follow.   [/quote]

Parents also need to do their part. When a kid leaves the house obviously out of dress code and the parents say nothing, they are abdicating their responsibilities and forcing the schools to do it for them. I know some kids ( particularly teenagers) change their appearance after they leave the house, but the vast majority of "dress-code violators" leave the house or are dropped off by their parents already out of code. I am speaking as a teacher with 24 years of experience in enforcing dress codes. Uniforms make it easier for everyone, and all kids, rich or poor are wearing the same thing.[/quote]
