All About Me discussion

Well I would think there has to be some regulation on stuff but it depends on how far you go with it

I say it depends. If you're talking about uniforms in school, I say that's dumb. If you're talking about uniforms at work then I say that's necessary.

I think at a workplace it would only be necessary if you needed to distinguish between somebody like a police officers uniform or distinguishing between a nurse or doctor. But if you were a teacher or something like that, I don't think it would matter that much.

Yea I agree

SMART!

I guess they do because they go.......wait.......what's the difference between the army and the military?

I think having a dress code is a smart and reasonable thing. Obviously there's a time and place for everything, for example, you wouldn't wear a t-shirt and sweatpants to your workplace(especially if you have a corporate job). Similarly, you wouldn't parade around wearing a bikini in Mecca or Vatican City.

What's middle school??

If it's not a private school, there shouldn't be any uniforms.

That's true.

What's junior high?

Also known as Middle school?

Having a dress code at school is great; it helps to breaks down the inequality barriers.

I would love to have a dress code. It would make life at school so much easier.

well, not a lot easier, but somewhat.

I think it shuts out the first amendment.

The kind of school you attend AFTER Elementary/Grade school but BEFORE high school. DUH!

Caitlyn: In theory kids still in school have no rights from the time they step off the school bus upon arriving to school until they get BACK on the bus to go home. UNTIL high school. In theory, the 1st Amendment is only for ADULTS.

An easier explanation: Said part of the Constitution says we have the right to say "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater, but practice on the other hand says we have no right to say "FIRE!" in a crowded theater unless there REALLY is a fire unless we want to be charged with either attempted manslaughter or inciting a riot.

That's common sense though.

hi caitlyn

Precisely. As a species, we are singularly INCAPABLE of doing ANYTHING that even REEKS of common sense.

If you're under the age of 20, you're probably not yet old enough to realize it's the truth.

We don't have a dress code here in Wellington, probably due to the fact we have a uniform. And our teachers don't complain about the length of the skirt unless you have it really high, which some of the seniors do

Not to us. We don't think of it that way. I guess it is if you think about it...

But there is no real way to wear your uniform. Some girls tuck in their shirts other don't etc.

And if the rules say you have to wear your shirt tucked in, but some girls don't, then it's not really a uniform, is it? Because uniform, means you know..uniform, Arwen.

Seriously? That happens where you are? It's different here. We don't have a point system. Granted the way to wear your uniform is untucked, but I have not seen one person told off for wearing it tucked in. It's hard to explain, my school is a private one so that might be why we are different

Arwen: Not in my school because I haven't gone to school since I did my college graduation walk down in December, 2000. Northern Arizona University didn't have a specific dress code/uniform policy when I went there.

And I honestly don't know what the policy is at Governor French Academy which is the ONLY school in Belleville, IL. that requires an official uniform, I mean as far as points/grades go, Blackstarr103.

Try looking up Samuel marsden collegiate girls school. Thst is my school

Did GR hiccough on you, Arwen? That's how an accidental double post occasionally happens.

Ahh yes it has sorry

So do I.

Not according to the grammar rules I was taught in elementary school.

Ah people have some fun :p

LOL. You haven't been around the two of us long enough to understand that we occasionally have fun this way, Arwen. LOL.

*wink*

I think its important to have a Dress code. for example, policemen have a dress code which Identifies them as police. I also quite like dress codes. I think its smart.

What incident?

Wow.. thats awful

Oh lord that horrible! How are people coping?

True, but hopefully it WON'T be about what they are wearing because hopefully the dress code will disallow designer accessories... .

Dress code is not fun.

I went to a Catholic grade school where I had to wear a school uniform. To this day I refuse to wear a plaid skirt!

Not meant to be "fun." Meant to decrease distractions from what OTHER people are wearing and by cutting down distractions, increase test scores and "learning."

Are you a teacher?

No, I am not a teacher. I am, however, a former student. I was out of school by the time the last grade school I attended in Scottsdale, AZ. went to uniforms. My middle school, Supai, also went to uniforms after I was in college (Northern Arizona University) in Flagstaff. Coronado, my high school, did it too.

From what I have heard, disciplinary problems at all three schools went DOWN after the implementation of the dress code.
