My school is putting in a new dress code. All I know of it now is for the boys and that is kahkis collered shirt tucked in with a belt and no denim. So far all of my peers are mad that they are doing this. The only thing I am mad at is that they are announcing it so late in the summer. People already whent school shoping and spent all this money on clothes that they can't wear. I was just ondering if any of the schools of the other students of FIRST have this kind of dress code and what are your feelings on it.

Public or private? In my own view, a public school has no right to limmit beyond a reasonable amount dress. IMHO kahki and collard shirt tucked in with belt is way BEYOND a reasonabale amount. There will be people who say this is good, that gang violence will drop and such. Well, most gang activity happens when people talk to eachother, so why not make everyone be silent between classess? Howabout keeping hands in their pockets to prevent gang signs? What point do we stop to keep people "safe" and "protected"?

Thank god I'm out of public education, it's a real mess.
