[quote=Anonymous]Rules like those are in the handbook so that egregious flouting of the rules can be subject to consequences. If you are sending your 6 yo to a school that PUNISHES kids for being late occasionally, that is on you. 1. You need to be more responsible about timeliness. 2. You need to not send your child to a school with such strict standards if you don't intend to conform to them.

I would totally understand if you were saying that you felt your young child should be playing more and not doing worksheets, or whatever. But sending your kid to a private school with a strict dress code, and then complaining about that dress code, makes no sense.

To get to the larger issue: My sister hated school until college (which she loved). She was bullied in middle school, routinely cut high school, etc. When she had kids, she homeschooled/unschooled them. That was a choice she made, based on her own experiences. You could do that, too, though it isn't compatible with a full-time job. But what you can't reasonably do is complain about the clearly stated rules at a school you voluntarily send your kid to.[/quote]
