Tell me something dumb that beats this...

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!

[flywise]

It stupid of course.
How about no mask and then there is no reason to to pull it down

I agree 100%...as long as they're logical.

[brokeno]

Good. Rules. No one is use to those anymore.

Rules/laws aren't always logical, but they're there. My school has dress code and ID rules. No one follows them. Sets a bad precedent for life.

They SHOULD always be logical. If your school's dress code is not logical then it should be challenged. Can a kid not learn in shorts? 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.

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

IMO it's just a way of teaching discipline to the youth.
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.

The “clean shaven” in the military actually started with mustard gas and masks in WWI. Same deal for firefighters. Prior to that beards were considered dignified.

I don’t think the op is upset about the dress code rules as much as he is making the point that removing a mast ( supposed to be used to prevent a virus) to see if the rules are being followed. But I could be wrong

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.

Same for me 1st-12th
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.

Did you just say you were sent home for NOT wearing panty hose?

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.

[LivinADream]

I certainly get that aspect of it. I just hate stupid rules. They should have a purpose.

I agree with this. "Because I said so" is the best way to get a reaction from me.

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.

1989 senior year, my High School didn’t allow shorts...so I wore a skirt to school. They made me change after the second period. The next year, 20 seniors got together and wore a skirt. The following year, they started allowing shorts.

So this is where it started. LOL

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.

[SRK14]

I’m glad they didn’t make us shave our faces in school. Facial hair came in handy for hiding the Copenhagen. We would have loved a mask [emoji57]
