First the schools, then Wal-Mart!!!
It’s a good thing they don’t check on homeschoolers, then. I used to do whole subjects in my pj’s.

Burkhas are excepted, no doubt.
I agree with this policy.
It used to be that people would not go out in public without being dressed neatly — look at any picture of a public space from the 1940’s, for instance.
I don’t know what’s lazier - wearing pajamas in the car, or re-running an entire news article from 2007.
1.Wearing pyjamas and slippers
2.Tune Okra show
3.Pick up kids at school
4.Return to Okra show
I live in a college town. This problem has reached epidemic proportions here.
If these women are just dropping off kids and not parading around in their PJ’s its no school nazi’s business. Who’s out checking the cars for clothing?
Wow ... I can sympathize to a small extent about drop-off ... but PICK-UP!?

Excellent.
When I was a young Army artillery officer stationed in West Germany in the late 1980s, one community commander took drastic steps to reduce the slovenly appearance of soldiers and their family members.
He instructed the local MPs to cruise the military facilities and popular local establishments. Whenever they came across a soldier or dependent wearing their dirty PT uniforms, inappropriate t-shirts, bras on the outside (thanks, Madonna), etc., they were instructed to detain and return the offending individuals back to the military kasernes. There, the CO or his Sergeant Major would dress down the indiviudals and make the rules clear.
Worked like a charm.
Slovenly solution: sleep in your street clothes. Problem solved.
I’m in my 60’s and I’m retired and really enjoy not having to get dressed up everyday. My sister died a couple years ago and I inherited my niece and if the school doesn’t like it if I’m wearing pajamas when I drop her off, the school can kiss my pajama clad behind. I don’t get out of the car and I don’t wear my pajamas to Walmart. However, I reserve the right to wear them in my own car.
Some of the best windshield shots I got were at school street corners. There are advantages on being a Lineman(Utility)!
There was a time when women were encouraged to take pride in their appearance — too much so, actually. Now its swung too far the other way. There has to be a happy medium between corsets and sweatpants.
My wife wouldn’t be caught dead outside the house in sweatpants (except when she’s headed to or from the gym) ... and I’ve seen all of her pajamas, they’re too revealing to drop the kids off in (wahoo).

I was actually surprised, when I was teaching HS that we had to put in our dress code that students could not wear pajamas and house slipper to school. I thought that was totally weird (that they or their parents wouldn’t already know that).
I don’t agree with this at all.
I think a harried mom in PJs with a robe or some outergarment is fine to just drop kids off at the circle ..
I do think though that the ridiculous way most schools today handle drop offs and pick ups are silly...and slow
It takes 40 minutes to empty our school
now in my day back in Leave to Beaver era.....you just left class and walked out to mom’s car, or got on a bus or walked home or rode yer bike
