Good for you, I might have chosen the public shaming approach, but that's probably not PC.

I am of the vintage where girls had to wear dresses or skirts to school. Pants could be worn underneath on cold days, but only until you got to school. It changed when I was in 9th grade. I remember the first time I got to wear pants to school. (I can even remember the pair I wore). Anyway...we would all leave for school looking presentable but between home and school the skirts would get rolled up. Skirts were way more popular for that reason.
I read a paper once on uniforms and decided that maybe it made sense. Especially for districts with different income-level students. And it saves arguments about what to wear.
I'm generally against silly rules. But lately I'm thinking that if Bond, Vaga Bond had a bunch of arbitrary rules to fight against outside the home he might have spent less time fighting the rules we tried to have.
We need to apply a dress code for some of the teachers around here too. Not overly revealing but total slobs.
Honestly, even with kids that give me the most trouble, I try to build them up.
They have the rest of the world trying to knock them down all their lives.

Oh good to hear. I figured you were prepared.
So many families don't plan ahead or even think about what will happen to their special needs kids after they're gone. And then those individuals become dependent on their siblings or become a ward of the state.
When I was pg'ed with Michael one of my blood tests came back wonky. There was a chance of him being born special needs. I had months to mull over what decision I would make before they were able to do an amino. I was determined to have the baby no matter what. A dear friend sat me down and had a long chat with me. She was in her 60's and had finish raising her brother Bob after her folks passed. She told me all about her brother. He was DS. She explained many things to me about DS kids and what I might expect. She just wanted me to be aware of what I may be facing.
My amino came out normal. Penny tested the same way and was fine also, so there's just something wonky with my blood tests but I'll never forget that chat Elsa had with me. She really opened my eyes regarding DS kids and their possible limitations.

Love uniforms. Many of the public schools in so cal in lower income areas have uniforms. It makes it so much easier on the kids.

Before we had more kids I could afford to send Wendy to private school. I loved the uniforms she wore. Everyday she had a choice of 4 different colors. It was perfect.
With our hypersensitive society it also means the male teacher is LOOKING. No matter the reason (to discipline or to leer), he is LOOKING.

I'll never forget the day in 7th grade when Laura Link took off her uniform skirt because she thought she had shorts underneath(must have been for gym class or something). She was pretty embarrassed.

I had to wear dress clothes and a tie in highschool (Catholic) school, not so fun.

Yeah, there is no right answer to some things these days.
That's why I call the office and have them send a call slip.
And I think if I ever see one of them as anything other than a child . . . I'll probably turn in my chalk.
As adult as they like to think they are, they're really just children.

They are much better nowadays. Polo shirts and shorts or pants for the guys.
Depends on the school.
Why is it the last hour of the day takes much longer than 60 minutes?!

Five minutes in the dentist's chair is infinitely longer than five minutes with a pretty woman.
5 minutes in the dentists chair is longer than 5 minutes anywhere.
That Einstein. Smart guy.
