Re: School Dress Codes

You just made a statement about a specific uniform your brother had (it involved a mandatory blazer, so I get the sense it was more than just a dress code) and then acted like people complaining about it were complaining about all dress codes?

Saying "you can't go into school like you're going clubbing" still leaves room for a lot of independent expression.

Oh, I see, no, I must have phrased it badly. I mean, I feel like a lot of people complaining about dress codes don't know how lucky they are. They see it as authoritarian to be mandated to a certain skirt/short length and not be allowed to show shoulders or whatever. When I compare this to my brother's situation, it just seems ridiculous to me.

Yes, but that's never the problem I see people complaining about. Perhaps I am just on the worst side but all I see is 'They told me my skirt/shorts were too short/I was showing too much skin and they punished me'. IMO, school is learning environment, the students are being prepared for a working environment and they should dress smartlyand formally.

ohhhh. Yeah, I totally agree that complaining about a basic dress code is dumb, and I understand what you're saying now!

idk, I sort of get the idea behind having kids dress formally at school, except...that's a lot of maintenance for formal clothes to have to be constantly in formal all week. I think there should be ways to have a balance. And most people I know are generally pretty down with the idea that some work environments will expect formal dress, that's not going to be a hard concept for most people to grasp once they start working.
