The school board seemed to forget that young men have raging hormones. Other comments write themselves.

Eric or Erica? The clockwise swirl down the 🚽 continues. Apparently these days some of the boys have raging estrogen. SMDH.

“They should also be able to express themselves with their clothes, ... Erica Ho says”

She’s wrong about such expressing in school. You’re not in school to express yourself. Distractions from learning actually isn’t good for the students. I think pre-college students should wear uniforms. For one thing, parents would be spending less on clothe.

You come to school trying to express yourself

No. You are not.

You can "express yourself" at outside of school.

And even there people are going to tell you to sit down, shut up and mind your manners.

Because you are a child.

Outside of your bedroom, the world has a dress code.

Learn to live with it.

I’m not even there and I’m thinking about her exposed skin

[Glenmore]

I remember our vice principal requiring the girls to kneel and if their skirts didn’t touch the floor they had to change or go to the office. Mostly they just rolled the waistbands back down, then when he left, rolled them back up again...

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

The single best reform that could be made to the public education system is to require uniforms.

Of course, that's why it will never happen.

[Chode]

so a tee saying TRUMP WON will be welcomed... right???

“You’re not really thinking about if I’m showing too much skin, because that really shouldn’t be on a woman’s mind.”

Oh yes they are.

Geometry, History, what boys are in those classes sitting where they see me?

It was a bitter sad day when my jr. High banned tube tops. Sad, sad. 😭

Well, in the dinosaur days when I was in school, girls were not allowed to wear slacks unless the offical temperature at 6am was 32 degrees or below. Jeans were forbidden under any circumstances for both boys and girls. This was pretty common in public schools in N. Fla. Boys hair couldn’t touch the ears or shirt collar (and your shirt had to have a collar, no t-shirts allowed). Those were the days!!
