My gf's 9th grader goes to a school that claims to have a uniform dress code, but there are so many loopholes and exceptions they might as well have no rules at all.

Personally, I believe kids should be given as much freedom as possible, though perhaps lots of irrational school rules and regulations might be better preparation for living in our "free society".

I'll fix that -- just put me in charge of a school, and I'll make everyone wear overalls. To allow for creativity, it can be with any shirt of choice. And anyone who is caught not wearing both shoulder straps properly hooked to the bib's corner buttons will have the most severe kind of punishment.

Just joking, of course.

While I see nothing wrong with a reasonable dress code (or even uniforms, with "dress down" days), there will always be other things the "trendier" kids will see to make fun of on their not-so-popular peers. If it isn't clothes, it's hair, the way they talk, their mannerisms, and so on. Therefore, I am somewhat indifferent about such an issue.

Let me put it this way, by senior year I resorted to bringing a pillow with me to class. (Seriously)

I made a lot of enemies at school but I still have two friends from high school that I keep in contact with.

One time I asked a fat male substitute teacher if he was pregnant but that's the best I can recall.

Got caught a few times, but never really got in trouble for it. By the 90's I don't think anybody cared.

I got sent to the principal's office a lot in elementary school. It was a Catholic elementary school, so you can imagine the horrible soulless nuns who still seem to haunt your mind twenty years later. Honestly, they were that bad. I remember talking w/one of my mom's friends who is in their 60's, and we had went to the same Catholic school, and essentially he said he wouldn't have any peace until Monsignor 'Cueball's' casket was blown up.

I skipped a lot in high school. I was always at Gambo's Game Room in Shoppingtown Mall playing video games. I skipped all the time. I think that's pretty much why I ended up at community college but I made straight A's there, and got my bachelor's..

Yeah, but I also worked 2 jobs and didn't Sleep a whole lot. But then maybe it had More to do with the copious amount of Pot I was smoking at the time.
Not really sure which.
