Schoolgirl, 14, sent home for wearing 'tight' trousers.

I thought only American schools did this kind of pointless shit.

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] That's exactly what I said but apparently some people think it's BS when it's not.lightleggy

Well, they're still going to judge them for being poor, or any number of things.  It wouldn't really fix anything

There are other ways to tell if someone's poor or rich. Clothing isn't the only way.

I didn't mean uniforms. I meant schools making a big deal over nothing. I should've made that clear, sorry.

Lol, there are other ways to tell people are poor

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="deeliman"]There are still multitudes of reasons for people to bully them.deeliman

How is creativity suppressed? Clothing has nothing to do with creativity. Students in high school are not designing clothing either. 

[QUOTE="deeliman"][QUOTE="lightleggy"] And "poor" would be scratched out of the list. Which is a "pro" for the uniformsWhiteKnight77

Not tight.

So...girl violates dress code, then gets sent home. So what? How is this story even worth mentioning?MrGeezer

I think the problem is on the school's definition of "dress code".

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="deeliman"]How old are you? Because you probably don't have any idea how teenagers express themselves.deeliman

I am old enough to know what school is for and that creativity is not fostered in what a person wears. Clothing cannot write, compose music, paint a picture, set up a scene for a photograph or shoot a movie.

Sure, teens are starting to find out who they are, but clothes do not necessarily do that. They may speak of what you think you are, but they do not tell anyone how creative you are.

Shakespeare could have written his works while bare-assed naked, yet he still had a creative mind.

He looks so much like a chick.

How about Japan?

They also go to school six days a week. They also only get about 6 weeks in the summer for a summer break with some places even less though the year is 198 days with breaks between the terms.

Yes I know Japan does.  So does a lot of europe.  It was a rhetorical question with the intent of mocking the idea school uniforms by saying they're old-fashioned.

The cat's out of the bag now.

I had to wear a uniform till the college dave123321

Also, for people saying wearing a uniform can't suppress your creativity, THAT is bs. In my school there were people designing their own shirts and other stuff. Not saying this is the only way to be creative or that you cannot be creative if you go to school with a uniform. But how you dress can certainly be an outlet to express who you are so GTFO.

WHY THE **** IS THIS NEWS!??!!

I cant believe people think school uniforms are old fashioned. 

Also the girl does not look 14, and those pants are not tight.

[QUOTE="loco145"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]And this is thread worthy.....why? LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="deeliman"][QUOTE="lightleggy"] School uniforms are perfectly fine, it actually helps to keep the students "banded together" and from judging each others by avoiding crap like "Oh you only have like 3 shirts you bring the same clothes every week!", "your clothes are horrible!", "omg you must be poor you're always wearing the same stuff", "you're just a superficial whore wearing those 200$ jeans!". The problem comes when the rules become ridiculously strict (girls not being able to dye/bleach their hair, having makeup banned, guys can't have long hair, etc....) Recently, I had to visit the high school which I attended to pick up some files for a certain application, anyway I found out that they make the rules more strict every year, now the male students can't even have a beard, not just a beard but facial hair in general, goatees, balbos, plain mustaches whatever, they can't grow facial hair, and the girl's skirts are now like ankle lenght lol glad I made it out of that place before anything like that happened to me.lightleggy

First of all, I believe students will still find ways to be mean to eachother.

Second of all, it takes out personality and a feeling of being yourself.  Choice is good

Third of all, Even if it worked as you say, it's kinda silly.  don't we need to learn about bullying and personality and all of that stuff at some point?  Should we all just go around dressing the same forever?  Adults judge too.  Lets not sugar coat it, lets raise or kids right, teach our kids right, and use some frikkin common sense.

Is that a Harley Davidson tat on the other girl's arm?

Also, for people saying wearing a uniform can't suppress your creativity, THAT is bs. In my school there were people designing their own shirts and other stuff. Not saying this is the only way to be creative or that you cannot be creative if you go to school with a uniform. But how you dress can certainly be an outlet to express who you are so GTFO. Master_Live

School is designed for one thing and worrying about which trendy clothes is nowhere near the reason. Do clothes express who you are? They can, but do clothes really make a statement on who you really are? No. I could wear suits day in and day out, but that doesn't mean I am a stuffed shirt. Actions are what define a person.
