Dress code!
So this whole blogging thing is new to me. So for right now I’ve decided to just do a like current event kind of thing going on at Tavares High and an opinion on some of the issues I feel are important to the kids at school. 
One big issue, mostly with the girls, is dress code! Which is strictly enforced this year with the new principal. The “Student Code of Conduct” is a little over the top with dress code. For example, no holes in our jeans or like ripped pants. I can see if the rips were huge and showing more than necessary but if it’s like a couple of tears on the knee, I see no problem. Then the shorts thing. Shorts issues are mostly at the beginning of the year when it’s hot. The rule on that is they have to reach mid-thigh. I think that should be a flexible rule. For example, someone with long legs that’s not fair to them because it looks appropriate but they just can’t help being tall and then for a person with short legs their mid-thigh might be too short. I don’t believe it should be mid-thigh, if it looks appropriate and your butt isn’t hanging out or close to it I see no problem. Now, for the guys the big issue is pants falling down. A lot of guy’s pants do practically let their boxers hang out but what I’ve seen a lot of guys doing is putting gym shorts under their pants. I think that as long as their boxers aren’t showing it should be aloud.
That’s it for me today. I want to hear everybody’s opinion on this! So comment and let me know what you think! Also, all of that is an my personal opinion so I nobody take it personally or anything.

I actually did go to the school board with the ripped jeans issue. I have yet to hear anything that was in October. My daughter got a saturday school and almost a suspension for wearing a pair of jeans that the threads were showing but you could not see her skin on her the front of her leg. So I brought her a pair of pants to the school but guess what, the heel of the pants were not ripped but worn. They would not let wear those either. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that the principal so little about teaching these kids and she is concerned with the clothing the kids wear. I could see if the butt was hanging out. But as for my daughter it wasn’t.
