Re: School Dress Codes

[(Anonymous)]

Because a lot of uniforms are horrible?

In my ass-backwards Catholic school, we wore uncomfortable, cheaply made skirts that fell apart, and uncomfortable, cheaply made blouses that faded to transparency in less than a year. Wearing anything (other than underwear) under the skirts was forbidden. Bare legs, always. And classrooms A/Ced down to freezing because the boys couldn't take off their (uncomfortable, cheaply made, impossible to clean) blazers for any reason. Girls over a certain size were ordered to wear minimizer bras. They wanted everyone to look like little children, and to be as uncomfortable as possible.

And they regulated EVERYTHING. People were forbidden to wear contacts until 1998. Hairstyles were narrowed to an incredibly limited range - girls got in trouble for having hair that was too short. Boys had 2 haircuts to choose from - buzz or bowl. They had this creepy "all american" look they wanted everyone to follow, no matter how appropriate it was to someone's actual body. Girls of color were subtly "informed" about how relaxing their hair "would make it more natural." This despite their complete overreaction if someone dyed their hair a (naturally occurring) color.

If there was something you could or couldn't do with your own body, they had a rule about it. Some of them did make sense - who needs to put on full makeup to go to class, who needs to bring Prada bags or $900 sneakers to school - but most of them were just humiliating.

Yeah, I agree with you on the badly made front.

Until my school changed their uniform the sweaters smelt like wet dog whenever they got wet and did nothing to keep the cold out.

I also agree about the anal regulating, although my experience wasn't as bad as yours. That all sounds horrible.

At my school we weren't allowed to wear coats in winter, just the school scarf. And it HAD to be the school scarf, not a plain black one or one with the school colours on it, it HAD to be the $50 school scarf from the school shop.

I also remember the Vice Principle hating my shoes. They were normal black leather school shoes that had a tiny 1/2 inch high heel, totally unnoticeable. I even checked the rules and it said nothing about heels. So I wore them, and then got told off.

That was the start of a 2 year long battle that ended with her making a point of ignoring how terrible and awful my scandalous shoes were.
