Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Amen ! That part of the good old days is truly the good part. Kids are spoiled these days. How about middle school girls who refuse to stop wearing lrggings when the principal banned them? The tv stations helped them make THEIR case by giving them air time. I love to hear about other schools who ban iPods and cell phones during the school day. And more power to school uniforms! By the wayk, I watched the State of the Union speech. Obama is so much easier to understand and follow than Bush was, whose speech was beyond terrible. Quote of the nanosecond...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 The DISadvantage of school uniforms is that I still cannot coordinate an outfit that doesn't include navy blue and white. LOL. 10 years of grade school (I did kindergarten twice), and 4 years of high school, and both had plain navy uniforms and white blouses. We even had uniform shoes in high school. Saddle shoes! And they had to be polished. We could ALWAYS wear something that wasn't part of our uniform, provided we were willing to take it off and get a detention for doing it. And we weren't even allowed to chew gum in school, much less have radios, IPODS, and cell phones. You wouldn't DREAM of taking your " transistor radio " into school way back when. Someone needs to tell kids they have no rights in school, except the right to sit down, shut up, and learn. How about middle school girls who refuse to stop wearing lrggings when the principal banned them? The tv stations helped them make THEIR case by giving them air time.
