And no, the teachers don't have to wear the suggested uniform colors, but many do and are respected more by the students.

Like I said in that post.................if you aren't a teacher and haven't experienced the difference, then don't criticize. You just don't have the facts.

I wasn't a teacher, I was a student, and I definately have the facts. The uniform code at my high school did one thing and one thing only, and that was make good kids into rulebreakers. The people who caused trouble before we adopted the code still caused just as much trouble, the only difference was that now students who had previously never been in trouble were being hauled into the office because their shirt wasn't tucked in. Teachers wasted huge amounts of class time performing ridiculous "dress code checks" instead of teaching. If people want to live somewhere where people are forced to dress a certain way, I'm sure there is room in Iran or Saudi Arabia. Here in the US, if I tell my kid he can go to school with a grey shirt (not an approved color), there is absolutely no good reason for the school to be able to say otherwise.
