And we would complain that it was impossible to find shorts that long then just as kids do today. BTW, it's totally possible. <br /><br />There's another story flying around about a girl who had to change her dress, and her mom wore the same dress to her graduation as an F you to the school. I have to be honest, I didn't see anything wrong with the dress, but I still can't help thinking that this isn't newsworthy. There have been dress codes forever. And there dress codes in every place of employment. This is about teaching kids to follow the rules!

Unfortunately, it's ...I'm total agreement. Unfortunately, it's my generation that is this way. You hit the nail on the head when you used the one word I use all the time...ENTITLEMENT. It's very sad....worse than sad, actually. It has changed so much just in the 17 years that I have been teaching. I hate to see what it will be like 10 years from now. It's not even so much the kids...it's the parents!!!!<br />AlisonAlison Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353164628345963175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784794633665115038.post-53689504343782193772014-06-17T23:35:31.291-05:002014-06-17T23:35:31.291-05:00Parents are such pains in the asses.

My kids wear uniforms and I still struggle with skirts that are too short and inappropriate clothing when they earn the privilege to dress down.

We are not helping kids if we teach them to break the rules or that rules don't have to apply to them if they don't want them to. Rules are there for a reason and, obviously, the school thought it was important. I happen to agree and would have sent the girl to the office if her shorts did not meet the fingertip requirement. (I had to do that many times this past year because my girls couldn't seem to get the shorts and skirts to the right length.)<br />~AmandaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092826822626225992noreply@blogger.com
