Mamma, you are so right, it should start with the teachers. How bout starting with at least a shirt and tie for the males, no jeans. But then you would have them complaining to their union. Maybe the kids should join a union.

I've been thinking outside the box lately. That maybe kids should be split up during junior high by sex. Let's face it...most of school is getting up every morning and hanging out with girls all day. My mind was rarely on anything even closely related to studying. I think boys and girls would learn much more if they were separated for say, 2-3 years maybe 12-14 years of age.

Up until about 10th grade school is but a babysitter.

Hoosier,

The only job I had where I had to wear a uniform was at a factory while I was in college.  Hospitals have uniforms but I can't think of another profession that would have a uniform.  As far as a job with a  dress code put in writing, never had one.  I learned from my parents at a young age what is appropriate behavior and what is not, including what is appropriate attire in certain settings.  Someone going to work in a professional atmosphere, I would hope would have the common sense to know what is and is not appropriate.  

Mamma,  I too think teachers should dress as professionals.  When I think bach to HS though the only time my teachers wore casual clothing was on Friday's.  Many jobs have causual day on Friday's.  I think parents should be setting the example and the blame should not be on the teachers.  And another question, why would parents pay any more attention to their kids just because they are in a uniform?  If they aren't looking and paying attention to not only the clothes but the actions of their children why would they just because the kid had a uniform on?

There isn't any reason the high school couldn't have uniforms. They don't have to be uniforms that make them look like 1970 wanna be's  ... how about pants, shirts, skirts, shoes, sweaters, jackets .... all in different shades and tones. All can be similar and identifiable.

I agree with Hoosier about becoming an adult in the real world and dressing appropriatly. If these poor little darlings think it's ruff in school ... wait til they get out in the real world!

As far as the teachers go ... I think they should all dress in a professional manner. After all, they are teaching the children. We really need to get back to respect, professionalism, rules, law and order.

Wow, Tiger, have you not been around much? Do you want me to list here all the jobs that require a uniform or have a dress code? I cant think of any, other than maybe working on a farm, that you could dress however you like. Look around, their are uniforms all around you. Fast food, police, firemen, custodians, plumbers, electrician, pizza delivery, waitress, lawn care, boy, I could go on all day. Uniforms are all around you everyday and you just havent noticed it. I am 41 years old, starting working when I was 15, only had one job in that whole time that didnt require a uniform or didnt tell me how to dress, and that was the first one, on a farm. I know, that is just my experiance, I am sure you were just talking about yours, but I believe if you take a look around you, you will find that wearing a uniform for work is the way it is more times than not.

ok Ok!! you are right but I thought we were talking professional jobs not convenience store clerks etc.  You did have a few jobs up there that require some post secondary training.  Most of my jobs have had verbal dress codes.  Example, business casual.  I know that a tube top is not appropriate in my field.  Give people credit,  most know when to wear what in the workplace and do not need there employer to babysit them telling what they have to wear.

Back to uniforms in school, maybe if we did jazz things up a bit like Spidey said it might not be a horrible thing I just think if we want a diverse world we need to allow people to think for themselves.

Thats not my point, I agree people dont always need someone to tell them how to dress, but the fact is, once you get out of high school, that is exactly what is going to happen. And as far as the jobs that I listed, almost all are capable of making over 50 thousand a year, except pizza delivery, waitress, and fast food. You may not realize it, but your pepsi and beer delivery drivers make dam good money. Qualified machanics are capable of making 6 figures in the right town. As far as proffesional jobs go, if they require you to wear a suit or tie, isnt that a uniform. Uniform, the same as others.

Maybe in this town, I know of beer drivers right now making 70,000 a year. I also drove a beer truck for 7 years in my home town, if you wanted to work at it, you could make 50 easy.
