Re: School Dress Codes

In my city, right before I entered high school, we didn't have a "uniform."

When I entered high school, we got one...but it was basically a polo shirt and some kind of slacks. Depending on the school, it could be white/plus what ever other school color shirt. Pants can be khaki, blue, black.

The shirts could be long sleeved, turtle necked, collared, or short sleeve button up/polo.

There was NO rule to what you could wear so long as it followed that. And the thing was? These uniforms were added to the city to stop "gang clothing/class based clothing/etc."

BULLSHIT. It didn't fucking work. Cause anyone who's parents had money shopped at places like the mall dept stores or at The Gap or Banana Rep. You could TELL who had the better clothes. and shoes were still what ever you wanted to wear. The poorer people? Wal-Mart brand clothing that was usually ill-fitted and shit. And anything that could represent gangs symbols? were added to the accessories.

I fucking hated it. None of those pants fit right, I preferred my jeans, wanted my t-shirts, etc.

If we'd gone straight up uniforms, it might have been different, but I've heard of so many schools with them that everyone will do something that makes them unique with how they dress and over all, I find them stupid and unnecessary.

Hell, I still hate uniforms. I technically have to wear uniform pants for my work, but they have never fit me right. So I buy work pants off the web that fit me right cause fuck that noise.

Of course, kids will find anything to separate people and pick on people, and if the dress code isn't policed properly it's not going to work, like any policy. If you don't punish kids for not doing homework, a lot of them aren't going to do it either.

Yeah, my middle school did the pseudo-uniform thing, where the rich kids got nice tailored khaki or navy blue slacks/skirts and white shirts, and everyone else got wrinkly, easily stained, badly fitting polyester. I wish the school had just bought the same uniform for everyone, but we couldn't have that. There wouldn't be an obvious enough way to distinguish who got mocked for their poverty and spending money on poor kids=socialism. I did a bit better than a lot of the kids because I hit puberty early and knew how to hem stuff, it meant I could sort of make adult business casual stuff fit me. Yay thrift stores.
