If schools went back to some sort of dress code, people might learn about hygiene and dressing properly for a job. I’m in culinary school now and I can’t believe the way kids show up to class. They’re clean, anyway, they have to be or are thrown out of class.
Its all about what society expects and demands. My Dad grew up in a single-parent home and was quite poor in a very working-class, Eastern European immigrant neighborhood in NY. Yet his public school expected every boy to show up with a coat and tie, otherwise, they were sent home. Parents complied.
Imagine trying that now? American society has been reduced to the lowest-common denominator. Its not something that can be fixed by one President.
