i remember a thing called a "Student Handbook" that spelled out everything in chapter and verse about what was expected of you to do and NOT to do in school. i remember a thing called a "Student Handbook" that spelled out everything in chapter and verse about what was expected of you to do and NOT to do in school.The only part I can remember about our handbook is the following: "Beards, if worn, must be at least 32 inches long. Otherwise, it is more manly to be clean shaven." Can you even say that today?
The Handbook went out the door
the day Mom and Dad hired a lawyer
and those stupid Liberal Judges
repeatedly found against the school
rules. FREEDOM of SPEECH expanded
to Freedom of Expression, and
therefore message T-Shirts, Hats,
Shoes, etal. were able to walk through
the door and down the halls.
In the school where I taught for
30+ years, even the young teachers
wore jeans and sloppy attire for
years. But, some parents finally
saw the connection and complaints
led to teachers being told they had
to shape up and be a model for the
kids, not stand as an advocate of
their "plaints." Dressing Preppie
is still looked down upon by too
many students influenced by the
dirtbags gyrating on musical videos
and commercial advertising.
