Kids need to have rules and must be taught to abide by them. They will have rules with employers for the rest of their life. JMO!

I see the logic of IDs. Let's you know who everyone is and anyone without one doesn't belong on campus.

Sure there's nothing wrong with it, but I'm not sure that's the point.
Same reason the Military does it imo.
Teach it in the beginning, once they are grown, do whatever you want.
My take anyway.

Do flip flops somehow keep Algebra from getting through? A sixteen year old with a beard can't sit in a classroom with a teacher that can have a beard? Dumb rules should always be tested.

Beard? Hell, I just wanted to wear a ball cap so I didn’t have to comb my hair. My “purchased from the school” Keller Indian baseball cap....I fought it weekly for years with very little progress....idiots.

Sent home for not shaving, not bathing, didn't wear panty hose, clothes didn't match dress code, and much more.
Class of 98'.
Never hurt me any, but I sure didn't like it.
Looking back 20+ yrs later, I'm very thankful for it.
To add, this isn't really the school's rules.
It was mandated upon them.
Not the same.

My senior year I would wear sandals to school almost every day, well I was told I could no longer wear them under the dress code. Men couldn’t wear sandals but women could as per code, I was told because my toes could be broken if they were hit by a classroom door. I argued it and they never gave me another reason. I guess woman’s toes are stronger than men’s... I still wore them the rest of the year.

Originally posted by curtintex View PostI certainly get that aspect of it. I just hate stupid rules. They should have a purpose.
I don't even use it at my house with the kids. If because I said so is the best reason I have for them to do/not do something I'm training them be followers. I'm raising leaders.

I don't have kids but I think kids should have the freedom to be individuals. When they get out into the real world they're going to need to learn good work ethic which needs to start at school. Meaning show up on time,every day and do what you gotta do to get through the day. That's what they'll be doing for the rest of their lives.
In todays world people are usually glad to hire someone who wants to work. They ain't worried about facial hair.
