[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you were not the person to teach him this, I get the feeling that you are reinforcing the idea that appearances and clothes are very important. They are to a certain extent, but not at school, only in specific formal setting, like job interviews, funerals, etc.

I'm Old Money with 20M to my name and I wear sweatpants while out and about sometimes. My kids do as well. My husband dresses like a homeless guy - he truly does not care what other people think. We all know how to dress for solemn occasions when respect is communicated through dress.

How did you get raised Old Money without learning that school is an occasion where respect should be communicated through dress?[/quote]

PP you replied to. Because you're wrong. In schools where these things matter, you know what they do? Uniforms. I spent a good part of my childhood in a uniform at a British boarding school: kilt skirt, long socks with garters, shirt and tie, blazer with school coat of arms, all in grey and blue wool.

In school, listening and following directions indicate respect for teachers. Nobody cares how you dress.

You should know this.[/quote]
