Dress Codes

Our kids' school district is dictating what each student can wear starting next year. The dress code outlines what pants and shirts are appropriate to wear in school.

The school district has prescribed district wide the color of pants shall be khaki, navy blue and black. The shirt shall be white. The schools are then allowed to choose two more shirt colors. Our kids' school chose burgundy and hunter green.

Who on earth chooses white shirts for kids? That person is stupid. Anyone who has ever raised a boy knows that the shirt will be gray by the end of September.

Why are dress codes necessary? I see no reason, other than to turn our kids into robots. Generation upon generation has gone to school without being dictated what colors they can wear and done just fine.

The schools should be more concerned about teaching our kids math, English, reading, history, science and other academic matters.
