Otherwise as silly as they look let's stop with the laws already. My sons would not have worn them but that is in our house Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this. Quotes by Susan Gottesman

Members phkrause Posted April 4, 2012 Members Posted April 4, 2012 Well for good or bad - the laws are starting to spread across the land. I agree, its sad to see people walking around with the underwear showing. Even though this might be a good law, but again, its just telling us how to look, dress and eventually they will tell us how to worship! Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
cricket Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Why don't they just mandate a school uniform and be done with it? It's obvious that students are too immature to make the decision to be decent enough themselves. So, mandate a uniform--tucked in shirts, belts, skirts below the knee with appropriate undergarments. Quote

There are some public schools that do require uniforms; at least in the midwest. I agree that laws that tell us how to dress are not something I would be in favor of having passed. Our police officers say they like the saggy pants ... there is usually one who will try to run, they can't run as fast with their pants down so low. :) Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
Members phkrause Posted April 4, 2012 Members Posted April 4, 2012 Now that's interesting Lazarus. I had not know this. My borther who lives in Maryland also, had three daughters that went through the public school system, and I'm pretty sure they didn't have to wear any kind of uniforms. Thanks for the info. Next time I talk with my brother I'll ask him to make sure that was the case. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Moderators Bravus Posted April 4, 2012 Moderators Posted April 4, 2012 Our girls were in a uniform and a non-uniform school in Canada, then in a uniform school when they got back to Australia, and preferred to wear a uniform: less fashion pressure and cliquishness based on designer labels. This may be somewhat off topic for the thread... And Naomi, gotta love that mental image of the 'cool' young guy waddling away from the cops as fast as he can, hobbled by his own pants!

I was gonna mention that too. I also remember seeing that in some show, and the cop thanking the perp for wearing those trousers.

Bravus it is pretty funny. I have watched a couple of videos when that was happening. One actually had them slip down so far that he got tangled up and fell and was struggling to get away. Not so cool. LOL Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
Dr. Rich Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah, while I hate the low pants look, I hate laws controlling the random things I hate even more. There oughtta be a law against them laws! Ditto Quote

olger Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I prefer self-government, but when people are too slow-witted to figure it out for themselves, they need a little help. Pull them trousers up, me lad and walk aright. Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."
Dottie Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Our county school board has set a dress code, not a uniform, but restrictions on what the students are allowed to wear. One of the things is a hooded jacket or sweatshirt, which makes it difficult to find a winter jacket. We live in a relatively conservative county, so I don't think there is much objection to a dress code. I think that if the students are required to wear a uniform, there would be less money spent on trying to keep up with the style, as well as less laundry to wash. Girls, especially, will try on an outfit, decide not to wear it, and throw the clothes into the hamper. I have read, in the past, that schools that have uniforms, as well as stricter behavior codes, produce students who do better and get better grades. A law for the state? That is going too far. Quote

Moderators Bravus Posted April 5, 2012 Moderators Posted April 5, 2012 Interesting: not what I would have guessed: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00220679809597575 Hmm, interesting counterpoint: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00220670309597509 And counter-counter-point: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00220670309597510 I love using these literature debates in my research methods class, because they lay bear the ribs of the research, perhaps even more that their focus issue. Quote Truth is important
Woody Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 The big benefit I see for uniforms is that it prepares them for the work place where they will have dress codes to abide by. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
