I just don't like the idea of telling someone what they can and can't wear.
Me either. They always blame the symptom, not the root cause.

Examples:

Abortion encourages teen pregnancy
Video Games cause violent behavior
Any reference to sex will cause kids to have it
Exposing you kids to homosexuality will make them gay
accepting that homosexuals have a right to exist will make you gay
Poor grades are the result of sexy clothing, rap music and television. it has nothign to do with poor teachers, faculty that could care less about teaching, and said faculty doing NOTHING about kids who are bullied and exiled.

Maybe they should be payed a wage comparable to what they do. They might care alittle more then..

School sucks...life sucks...lesson learned.

the school system in this country needs a serious overhaul. Too many people become teachers as a result of the "those who cant do teach" menatality. they come in with a shitty attitude. then there are those who cared at one time, but years of disappointment jaded them. THEN there are those who still care but cant do a damn thing because there is not budget.

The bully thing also needs to be changed. Getting your ass kicked and being the brunt of jokes does not need to be part of your initiation into life. I have been out fo school for 12 years, the last 5 of which have been in the corporate world. Although there are striking similarities between big companies and high school, i cant think of a single instance where being humiliated or beaten up in school has helped me out since i have been here.


Teachers should be held to much higher standards than they are, and at the same time should be adequately compensated for their efforts. I think the teachers getting forced to take standardized tests in Mass was brilliant. I mean really, if you cant do your job, you dont deserve it. End of story.

I couldn't agree more...
Being picked on/beaten up.....I did learn how to fight and defend myself. That's come in handy...too many time, unfortunately. Being bullyed in school was why I hated school so much. I always got teased , but I did real well in lower grade school(As and Bs). But once I got to Junior High, and the bullying really stepped up, my grade dropped(Cs mostly).
