in all my years of public schooling, i still don't understand dress codes. what is the point? are they afraid of getting sued if we trip over our shoes or beat up because our clothes look like gang clothes? how is that the school's fault? pretty pathetic. i don't think i've had a day this whole year when i haven't broken the dress code. in fact i haven't because my shoelaces are a violation. hmph! so...what do all y'all think?

we've got uniforms here of the strictest kind. If your sweater has the wrong kind of stitch, your hair band is the wrong colour, or you're wearing more than one pair of studs, you're dead. It's a dictatorship, I tell you, but the psychotic head gets her kicks from pinning kids up against the wall and bawling them out.

Well well well...dress codes, eh? Sometimes I feel we don't need a strict uniform rule at our school and at other times I'm happy because people would dress better than me and make me feel low and I don't have to bother in the mornings. Anyhow, there's enough time on weekends, holidays and after school to show off :P
Catch ya round.

I school has a dress code and it bites but not as much as it use to... (uniformed or 3 years
) Anyways it makes it eaiser to get dressed and you can spend more money on shoes and jewery stuff.

at my school, we are not allowed to have coloured shoelaces...gang symbol. los angeles, u see. the thing is i'm always too broke to buy nice real clothes so i get cool thrift store ones, unfrotunately i end up being constantly berated by administrators, vice principals, shit like that. at least i don't have a uniform. i used to want a uniform because i hated getting made fun of. now i sortof revel in it. tccchhh....

I am from England and most schools in England have uniform. I looked like a sack of potatoes in my uniform (I now go to college which has no uniform). I don't see that looking a certain way has anything to do with how good at school anyone is. It's a matter of control

i go to private school...i know how you guys feel...no nail polish colour except for pink or red...no signs on your socks...no colouring your hair....you can't have more than 2 colours on your shoes and they can't be bright....no flannel jackets....oh, and you also can't wear necklaces that are chockers or anything other than your classic silver or gold loop necklace...i hate the principal, mr. vanderveer...he's such a prick...i found out yesterday that he gets easily persuaded students to spy on other students to see what they do....my friend was suspended yesterday for using vulgar language...my school's getting more worse & worse every year...

That's terrible. Where do they get these people, from a dictator training camp or something?

They want to say to important visitors: "Look at how we have the pupils under our control, right down to their accessories!"
