WitchMom replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"I was told my my daughters second school (pinewood elementary in Eagle Lake) that if the teacher didn't care that it didn't matter. So since her teacher cared that she didn't have a belt or that she forgot to tuck her shirt in.…"
Tabby replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"Most schools around here are pretty good with uniforms. We stuck with denim shorts and jeans rather than the traditional blue or khaki colors. Find denim more durable. If belts are an issue, you can cut the hoops off the shorts/pants. Shirts must be…"
WitchMom replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"All of the three schools my daughter went to (2 for K and 1 for 1st grade) gave her uniforms for free. The only time I started having issues was with the first two schools when she started to out grow then and I had to take them back and exchange…"
messitt replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"Hi Jmarr - can you tell me what school your son attends? If you have to purchase from a specific supplier/vendor, how much do uniforms cost?
I'm also interested in hearing about the secondhand uniform shop - have any POLK MOMS heard of other…"
MandyJay replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"In my memory, the only time in the standard (non-charter/ non-magnet) PCSB schools that students are required to wear a belt is if their shorts have belt loops. No belt loops, no belt required (of course, for this to be acceptable the shorts…"
WitchMom replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"Man this all sucks. I swear my daughter went to school last year for first grade. At highland city elementary in Highland City and she had PINK HAIR they didn't care. They were more concerned that she didn't have on…"
Kelly replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"My two oldest children were going to start public school during this time frame. They had been at a private school with no dress code other than the usual tuck your shirt in, kind of thing. I didn't like the dress code and there was…"
DisneyMamaTo2 replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"Some people wear a uniform to work, some people get to wear dress clothes every day. I personally wear a uniform, my son sees me get dressed and knows I'm going to work.
So, I look at it this way: Sam's job is to go to school…"
messitt replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"Hello Jmarr and other Polk Moms! Thank you for this thread of discussion - it has been very informative. I am working on a national story that involves school uniform as well as looking into extreme punishments associated with minor infractions…"
WitchMom replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"I don't really care about the uniforms I don't dislike or agree with it I just think that it should be reserved for private schools. Or the city school board should provide them for people who cant afford them. I mean its public…"
brooksy replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"I personally like the uniform policy and my kids have never had any problems with it. My oldest is in Middle School this year and her school is pretty strict but, it's nothing horrible. I think it is so much easier. There is no competition over…"
Taryn Tener replied to GeneJ's discussion School uniforms,constitutional rights!"I happen to like the uniform policy. When I was in school, so much emphasis was placed on the brand of jeans or shirt you were wearing. Now, since everyone usually wears a uniform shirt and jeans/shorts, there is less of the teasing."
