Did the legislation happen because they felt teachers were being too casual? Because that makes a little sense. (STILL messed up, mind you)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think that, around that same time, there was a statewide school dress code imposed. I don't know the boys rules, but for girls, it was no tank tops, no midriff tops, and shorts can fall no more than 4 inches above the knee. I think it was mostly an effort to make the schools look superficially better ("See! Our kids are polite and not slutty!") without really doing anything to actually address why the schools were doing so badly.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
No. They just thought kids were all little hoodlums who could stand to have a little respect for authority shoved down their throats. Because, disrespect of educators and the educational system in general has nothing to do with people underfunding public education and bashing it all to shit, or dismissing anything intellectual as "worldly" "out of touch" or something to be mocked. It's all the bratty children's fault.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'd love the boys rules to be simply, "Put it away!"

Sounds like the school uniform movement here.
"Let's find a band-aid! Screw funding or listening to what the actualy educators might think the problems might be!"
It was annoying as hell. Personally I thought uniforms were a good idea, but they're not the be all and end all of good education for pete's sake.

My dad's school uniform included a straw boater.

He didn't! He played in the First XV, even.

Sounds good though, doesn't it?
