schoolboy refusing to cut dreads invited oscars

All I was trying to point out is you usually learn to follow the rules from your parents and in school. What happens if your parents don't teach them and the results of breaking them? Then reinforce it by the school not enforcing it.

You brought up a dress code, I didn't.

I agree they changed the rules on him OR just decided to start enforcing them. Either way is bad and gives mixed signals.

Unfortunately the way you dress does have an effect on your mindset. Dress sloppy and slobish you'll tend toward not putting forth your best effort.

2nd point: life is not fair, sometimes rules change or are suddenly enforced when they hadn't been previously. Sometimes they'll even make up a rule seemly just for you. C'est la vie, roll with it or as dear old dad said " you ain't gonna learn no younger."

That's not the same thing as going to a class. The two aren't comparable. There is no need to be dressed nice for a class. You are not trying to impress anyone or trying to make a good impression. You are just there to learn. What you wear is irrelevant to that goal.

I agree to an extent. But a person should always have enough self respect to always make a good impression to everyone every day.

School is about not just learning from books, but also learning to be prepared for the real world when they enter as young adults.

I have over my career, seen people come to job interview dressed like bums heading to the beach to drink beer. If they didn't feel it was important enough to put some effort into looking presentable, then there was no effort on part to consider hiring them.

I had a guy show up for a job interview once wearing a T-shirt, sweat pants, and Birkenstock sandals. There were 2 of us interviewing this individual, the other interviewer was in a polo shirt and slacks with dress shoes, and I was in full FR with steel toed work boots and a hard hat. Those are the only acceptable versions of a dress code in our business. The interviewee was a yard manager for a big name drilling company, so he definitely knew better. Shortest job interview I ever saw. As he walked out the door, his resume and application were headed into the shredder.

In theory yes, in reality no. Not by a long shot. Schools prepare you for college, and colleges expect you to already be prepared for the real world.

Schools, at least the ones I went to, did not teach you much about the real world. They might briefly go over making a simple budget, but that's about it. They don't teach you how to do taxes, live on a budget, balance your work and social lives, or anything like that. I was never formally taught how to create resumes and interview for jobs until the last year of college (I learned long beforehand from my mother and the internet).

Those who depend solely on the school to prepare them and don't have active parents who are preparing them, often get gut punched soon after they go out on their own and try to live in the real world.

Our education system is not great, and this is one of the reasons why. If their job is to prepare these kids for the real world, then they are failing.

This whole ridiculous thread is just another example for the benefits of home schooling.

No one reads your posts. It's more like translating Greek into Hebrew into latin then roughly getting to english.

I guess that's called reading by some PHDs somewhere.

Again I ask, talk to text app? If not....

morning, GOOD did not ask u TOO.

It wasn't a primary duty, but one of the things I did in the AF was crypto operator. Obviously being concise is important, but if anyone abbreviated "your" to "ur" in a ticket they would have gotten trouble.

Of course they don't allow subliterates into the AF...

Well, maybe you are challenged in some way.
You missed the point. Which is becoming a recurring theme.

Technically, you are asking. That's the point of posting in a discussion.

Just sayin.

Special kid, doesn't need to obey the rules - NO matter when changed r started. Mommy whined and will try to get her way. Same we hear when kids get in trouble - 'he a good boy, never would do anything wrong!'. Yea, right. He's got a penus but 'he's a girl'! Same ol garbage. Truthfully, he and Mommy have an attitude.

In this thread we see who truly has reading comprehension.

Jesus. I would have paid serious cash to be barred from the graduation ceremony crap. Unless the school was barring his graduation he should have counted his blessings.

The school had all school year to enforce their dress policy, yet chose to do nothing. Now all of a sudden they are excited about dress policy. Hmmm some but hurt liberal admin guy his panties in a wad and decided to put the micronometer penile stick down and exert his authority. Would have been funny if the kid told then he was transitioning just to screw with them.

It's the function of both the school and the parents to prepare them to transition into the real world as young adults. If the parents, or the schools are not teaching them to avail them of the tools at their disposal, then both are cheating them of their education.

Now granted, I'm sure schools have changed in over forty years since I was in high school! But my niece finished second in her graduating class, and started college last fall. She is very well transitioning into adulthood. Her parents being the reason why.

Being prepared for the real world? The tools are there. If the schools are failing in providing them, then the parents need to pick up the slack and do their jobs, as responsible parents.

Ultimately, the "school board" makes these types of decisions. I'd bet good money this "edict" of giving him chit for his hair, came from the school board.
