It was in the late 1960’s that school dress codes (and it is widely believed that certain types of dress in “serious” educational “expectations” began to die out. Previously, there was no need to think about the school dress of public schools. Private schools had to require uniforms, but in this context they served a purpose. For the most part, whoever saw a schoolyard full of public school students saw boys and teenagers who were reasonably well behaved they are dressed
Flower girl dresses, jumpers, or skirts were to be worn. When they only wore clothes, they wore jumpers or skirts that went with the dress. clothes of any color were required (Nowadays, the word “nerve” conjures up a few different images, doesn’t it?) In the spring, boys were required to wear a sweater or a t-shirt. shirts or tunics (except for sports), especially with pictures or words on them.
There was always an occasional boy or two in each class who tried to show up in a black shirt and black trousers, and such boys would be given an audience in the prince’s office. Once the “mini-skirts” appeared on the scene, there were always a few young women who did not know the difference between a short skirt and the way to a short skirt, and the rules about whether the skirt touched the floor. the girls were placed on their knees. Reasonably lenient (yet hated by students) dress codes prohibit “guard belts”, super-short skirts, low necklines .
At first (at least in my suburban school) there wasn’t much interest in post-code. The main difference was that the boys wore their hair down to their shoulders. Over the two decades or so between when school and when my oldest son attended elementary school a common type of student. He had gone down to the ground. I sent my family’s son to suburban, public school in a little sweater and corduroy pants, only to be told by my five-year-old that he was the only one wearing sweaters. When I noticed what the other boys were wearing, I was horrified to see them in striped jerseys and jeans, which I guess fit the backyard. I tried to moderate my son’s clothing in a way that would make him stand out less, but still not quite the “play clothes” level of clothing that many of his classmates were wearing.
As my oldest son got older, and as my younger son progressed through school with his little sister, I saw a very clear decline in the appearance of the school kids. During my time daughter graduated from her father’s high school in 2003 and I was quite disgusted with some of the costumes that so many classmates they wore it at school. School was clearly no longer thought of as “all business” and as a place where a certain level of dress was required. “Whatever goes” is the way students dress today, and this is not necessarily a good thing, because so many people grow up forgetting the concept of a time and place for certain types of clothing. My two adult sons and daughters have grown up to be people who dress smartly and nicely while also knowing when the occasion calls for casual clothing and when it calls for something a little less casual. They didn’t learn that from the post-dress-code year school, but they learned it from their imposition. some are dressed in them especially when they attend school. Let them make choices and express their individuality within certain boundaries accepted into a place like school and what is not. Not everyone does parents these days, and I guess his parents have grown up without the benefit of becoming today. about learning what is appropriate and what it is there is something to be said for a certain amount of respect for the school setting when it comes to how students dress.
People often talk about kids not getting to express their individuality when they are required to dress. Some people talk about how to dress clothes expensive kids clothes kids with more expensive clothes talk about how to make kids more aware not less serious they feel bad Other colors bring the flow of the crowd and prevent them from being consumed. My answer to those points is: 1) Kids can express their individuality outside of school, after they graduate, and in a fashion. from any stickers they want to put on bags and covers, 2) Kids to learn that there will always be someone who has better clothes and there will always be someone who has less heavy clothes than they have. His life and 3) No school policies should be based on things related to gangs or gang colors. Companies are separate issues that need to be dealt with separately.
Thirty or so years after school dress codes were first eliminated, our schools are filled with young people who have no idea of the time and place for certain types of clothing. Too often they forget the idea of how important it is to dress respectfully and to respect the educational environment. It’s not just a result of having kids who seem like they don’t understand that education deserves a basic level of respect. So it happens that our culture already has thirty-year-olds who show up in court with shorts, bare feet in sandals, and bellies hanging out under T’s. I live in New England, where Winter Coats are still worn out in March but where it is not at all unusual to go. to the King’s Castle or the local market in the Marches, and see just how many bifids, bellies, and painted arms they have to exhibit in public in March. Our culture has grown up with people who sit in restaurants with baseball caps on their heads and grown women who are proud to say they don’t even have a skirt.
If schools had kept the basic dress codes that were put in place in the 1960s and early 1970s, there would be no need to consider uniforms for public school students today. With over thirty years of decline in the basic understanding and norms accepted in civil society, though, uniform schools are what is needed to restore to our kids some sense of dignity, respect, and respect. education, and awareness of what is proper.
School time stops to interrupt the “sick asylum”, and time for parents to do school work in any way. His first-time parents is eager to show leadership because that’s what kids today need more than ever before.
