Are you serious??? They used the term "weak"?? I thought I was going to get hammered by freepers for that one.
Personally, I liked the guy, but it was no secret that he felt dress codes (and later on after I was gone, uniforms) were a waste of his time, he felt there were more important things for him to deal with then busting kids for violating dress code or uniforms.
To his credit, he was a good dean and maintained as best possible, good disipline, but the uniforms, from what he told my friends parents, were a result of "weak" parents.....he also noted a lack of backbone in parents today in his conversation, something that did not sit well with my friends parents.
