This policy is being considered within the school uniform policy.
Nobody said there was a crime in looking like the gender you are...
It still seems based upon practicality and uniformity, not about looks.
The criteria that caused the consideration of the new policy has been brought about by teachers and school Governors, some of which are surely the students' parents and apparently the students also had input. If teachers, students and parents are for it , then OK- who else should decide what's best for them?
Not us surely...
Oh man alive! As a teacher that infuriates me and I would have quit too. So many times parents want to challenge fair rules because they think their child is an exception to the rule. If the child doesn't put forth the effort, then by all means, they get what they deserve.jitterbugdoll said:Anyway, out here we had a parent protest--and win--against a teacher who failed a senior because she did not complete her work (makes perfect sense to me--you don’t do the work, you don’t get to graduate with those that did their job!) The school board overruled the teacher and let this girl graduate--and the teacher promptly quit (which I would have done, too.) What kind of society have we created? How can we expect teachers and schools to instill the values in our children (dress, attitude, work ethics, etc.) that should be taught at home?
