If it will eliminate the use of the baggy pants some kids wear, I"m all for it. Besides, having students dress in conservative uniform-like clothing, with a zero tolerance policy towards modifying such clothing, will go a long ways toward eliminating the individual identifying characteristics that punk gang members display.

truepatriot, I AGREE!!!! Make these kids cover up their underwear! No one wants to see it! Also, maybe it will keep boys from buying their jeans in the girls department.

I dont agree that a public school has the right to control what the student body wears to a certain point. Yes, please cover up the underwear, this is not a fashion statement in school. Yes, students are there to learn, but I do follow the laws of this country. I am refering to a sumpreme court ruling Tinker v. Des Moines and there are otheres heres a web page to check out. http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/speech/studentexpre

Maybe once they're concentrating on school and not what everyone else is wearing, they'll learn the meaning of such words.

And I'm all for the constitution, but when behavioral problems in schools spread to more than a few students, I think the school should have every right to mandate what the students should wear.

I have always thought that school uniforms was a good idea. In exchange for using cell phones? Not during testing because I know they text the answers to each other. By the way (little off the subject) this seems like a pretty smart group....does anyone know the answer to these questions? 1. What type of business is closest to pure competition? 2. What type of business is still out there that is pure monopoly?

This is totally completely fair. I am a student myself, and I will admit, I am not the typical prep or jock. I wear a leather jacket with patches on it, have long hair, wear combat boots and the whole nine yards. A "metalhead" is the term for it I guess. I am positive that this is fair, kids have spent most of their high school years texting in class, and not devoting time for education. I wouldn't be all so happy with the dress code because that takes away some individuality, but from what I have seen, every guy these days looks like a girl, and all of the girls look the same, with a select few people having their own sense of unique style. Kids do not NEED cell phones, but most of them throw a fit once they get taken away like it is the end of the world.

(I rarely use mine except for contacting work, friends, and parents, not texting for hours on end)

Benefit to uniforms would be the girls not wearing the trampy style and the males not wearing baggy cloths, will not be as easy to sneak weapons into school and be less distracting. Take away the cellphones, the students need to have more face to face communication skills. Of course if they want to be phone sales more power to them, people need to get back to an in person social life.

all i know is i wear baggy clothes and have a cell phone and all of my grades are good. Perhaps the school should change something about itself.
