We don't have school uniforms. Its is a dress code. We can go out and buy the $15 pair of khakis from k-mart. It doesn't have to be the $40 pair of pants from some uniform catalog. I don't know if you know what kind of school Northern is, but it is an urban school so there is a big problem with guys sagging thier pants down to their ankles, girls wearing these shirts and skirts that would make a hooker tell her to go put some clothes on. We have had a dress code since my dad has went to that school 20 years ago. They just don't enforce it. I think that this dress code will fail but that is just my opiion. The school board telling the principal of the school that there is a dress code 3 weeks before school is very bad. The told the parents at the same time they told the principal, 3 weeks before school starts. I can see the whole, "We spent all this money on clothes already I can't afford to spend more monsy," here is a thought, take those clothes back. I garuntee that most of those clothes are the reason why this school is going to a strict dress code. Then the parents say, "I want my baby to look good," to me, dressing like a hooker doesn't look good. "I didn't buy my baby his $150 air force ones, his auntee did," Tell his "auntee" to go out and buy him some khakis and a nice shirt. The only problems I have with this is the colors they chose. I got to this other school called GMTS (General Motors Technical Academy) and the students there have to dress up in business casual, just like the engineers do. We are not limited to the colors we have to wear so I have like brown pants, yellow shirts, green shirts, and stuff like that. I could have worn them to both school and GMTA. But the colors day that I cannot. That is just rong. Also right now I have a mohawk. It says that hair cannot be distracting. Would my hair count as a distraction? I hope not. Also it was stupid to tell us this with 3 weeks before school. The school board has done this kind of thing forever.
