My daughter is in college (freshman) and is president of the freshman class. And she did on occasion wear pajamas to high school as did many of her friends, who are also in college. Don't be so quick to judge a student by their dress.

Exactly! My 12.5 yo daughter is in middle school and is an honor student, 7th grade class president, sings in the honors chorus and is enrolled in all honors classes. She speaks two languages fluently and is learning her third. She is a member of the school's math league, sciecne club and drama club. She is also an active member in our church youth group and overall a very moral child with a bright future ahead of her. She recently wore her "pajamas" to school with my approval. It did not interfere with her academics nor did it cause disruption. It did not break down her moral fabric.

She also wears destroyed denim jeans purchased at A & F for a pretty penny (her own money earned from supervised babysitting & her allowance from which she first tithes diligently). She is aware of the poverty some of her fellow classmates live in and is in no way mocking them. In fact, she is one of the first to notice and is always going through her own things to give to others less fortunate. She always has been a giving and generous child. BTW, in case others don't notice, poor kids don't always wear torn clothing.

I know my daughter's character is intact regardless of what she wears. In the case of some "hyper-moral conservative" adults however, dressing up is like putting lipstick on a pig.
