Girls having to wear skirts is so horribly outdated and sexist.
I went to a small public school, and everyone wore jeans and t-shirts. No one was particularly interesting. We had three punks in the entire school who wore mohawks and chains and that was the ending of the vaguely different.
My middle school was very strict on their dress code. It was that horribly ugly polo shirts only tucked into jeans with an ugly belt dress code. Everyone looked ugly, unless you happened to be one of the girls who had already grown boobs. They'd purposely wear the see-through white polo shirts with neon pink bras like "look at me I grew boobs I am a big girl now!" You couldn't have anything that wasn't school supplies or something absolutely necessary. They took away my silly putty and sticky notesOriginally Posted by ChickenHeart
High school was nice. The dress code was lax, just don't show off too much skin and don't wear clothes saying BITCHES AND WHORES. The only thing I really found unfair was their weirdness about guys having long hair. They got a little weird during my senior year though. You couldn't have anything that could at all be considered a weapon on your shirt and a guy in my class got in trouble for having a picture of hedge clippers. The rules allowed for cellphones, but they were to be taken up if they were seen before the final bell, and you'd have to pay $15 to get it back. Other electronics were prohibited but most teachers didn't care if you used them, as long as they weren't lecturing. Just the cellphones were a big deal. I think all of the teachers got an email on the last month of my senior year because after four years of using my iPod without anyone saying anything to me I was suddenly stopped by every teacher I walked past in the halls!
As far as I know there is no such thing as school uniforms here in Denmark - well maybe at some really prestigious private schools or something, but who cares about those anyway. All the schools I've gone to you could wear whatever you wanted to - the only thing I can think of is that you'd sometimes be asked to take your hat/cap off if you were wearing one of those in high school classes. But again, that was not because of some rules the school had, but rather the personal preference of the teacher teaching that class.
The school I went to till the sixth grade was very strict with their uniform rules. Even our hair ties and hair bands had to be white or black. If we came to school with long nails, they'd send us to the school nurse and have her cut them for us. I remember being told that one of the generations after me had dyed hair (dunno why anyone 10 years old or under would have dyed hair anyway...but to each their own) and were told, "you must come back with your natural hair colour tomorrow", it just sounds funny to me, almost like "make your parents sign this document".
The school I went to after that didn't care about much, even though it had a uniform.
The high school I went to had crazy rules, too. I remember being told off for wearing blue sockspeople were also weren't allowed to wear hair gel / spike their hair up.
High school should be a little bit like University except mandatory attendance until you are 18. The Province forces attendance until 16 y/o I think. As for uniforms, it is part of some schools (religious, private) and part of the school rules. You go to the school (or your parents make you go there), you wear the uniform as defined.
back to 'like university', things like phones should not be used in class, but during breaks and lunch periods, why not? I don't see how anybody would ban its use for recreation.
They make clothes they say bitches and whores? What the hell.High school was nice. The dress code was lax, just don't show off too much skin and don't wear clothes saying BITCHES AND WHORES.
Well I think its just the school doesnt want to be responsible for lost or stolen property so they ban phones outright and if yours gets stolen (which apparently happens a lot) they can say "you weren't supposed to have it in the first place" rather than having to investigate theft in the school.
Also cyber bullying.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!

Our dress code is very particular. Whatever you're wearing, you have to have a belt and your shirt tucked in. When you're a fashionista like myself this doesn't look good most of the time.
Let's talk about our dress code at HS!
For mine we had to wear black slacks with a white shirt. No tie, but we could wear either a vest or cardigan on top during winter (which was blue in color). And socks had to be black. With black dress shoes/boots. I don't know if I could wear a tie with my shirt but if I had to go back to that school (and relive a decade of bad dreams where I was going back to high school because I still need to graduate for some reason), I would probably see if I can wear a tie.
I think you had to tuck in your shirt, and if you've seen kids , they do not want to do that. Ugh.
Also after a few years they started to care about how high the kilts were that girls wore. =(
No dress code at my high school. I mean, at all. I've seen girls bare their midriffs and wear booty shorts and not get called out for it. I've seen guys with hair longer than mine (that's saying something, at the length it is now) and girls with pink hair. And people with piercings all over. Yeah. It's all cool with my school, though. I think I got off easy compared to most of you.
In my old Catholic school, the girls had to wear jumpers when we were little and then polo shirts and kilts when we were older. Of course we had to have our shirts tucked in, no dark nail polish, wear belts if you wore pants, blah blah blah. But I left my shirt untucked for half of seventh grade and all of eighth grade and no one really noticed. I also rolled my skirt up a lot because it was so long and it looked awful. But nope, I never got in trouble for that, either. :P
