When I wear scrubs at work I look like everyone else and no one cares.

I definitely think there needs to be a dress code though, and maybe even one that says "all girls must wear collared shirts", that is how it is at my nieces school. But at the same time it is nice to not totally stifle individuality. <br /> I agree with Kristen's arguments, both very good.Emmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675419215475635276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-80817841949415092142009-11-16T14:14:28.975-08:002009-11-16T14:14:28.975-08:00My kids have attended both "regular" sch...My kids have attended both "regular" schools and schools with "code of dress". The elementary school kids wear white or navy blue collared shirts (no brand tags visible, must have sleeves and cover the belly well) and navy blue cotton twill or corduroy pants (again no brand labels visible, shorts have to be to the knee, capris okay, skirts okay for girls). I definitely know what clothes I have to have laundered by Monday morning. The kids don't spend oodles of time wondering what to wear (except for is it clean or dirty), and if you shop around online, you can usually find very reasonable prices. Our school also accepts usuable donations for those families that have a hard time purchasing clothes. With so many girls' fashions starting to look like miniature beauty pageant wear or worse, this way I know they are looking decent without much headache. Now if only the MIDDLE school would get onboard with a code of dress, I would feel much better, though I'm sure my daughter would be outraged.<br /><br />Sorry for the novel. :)mormonhermitmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273403409277178248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-52185736869547200712009-11-16T12:19:26.272-08:002009-11-16T12:19:26.272-08:00I am torn...I think kids should be able to express...I am torn...I think kids should be able to express themselves, within a dress code of course. Then again, there is that nagging teasing thing from other kids, yet, this could grow character and strength. I think kids should be able to wear two different colored socks with mismatched shoes, while putting their hair up in a pony tail with a sock of a different color. So I guess my vote is no.Carolynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521144260579957967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-25753942836281981602009-11-16T11:40:56.413-08:002009-11-16T11:40:56.413-08:00I definitely think a dress code of some sort is in...I definitely think a dress code of some sort is in order for both sides of the desk. A uniform may be a bit of a stretch for folks on a tight budget, but there's no reason to go to school (or work) looking like a train wreck or a streetwalker.<br /><br />Unless you *are* a streetwalker...silferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14996363201481143915noreply@blogger.com
