I have written my thoughts about school uniforms in the recent past. I feel that the casual clothing kids wear today makes it impossible to create an environment where the students can focus on the lessons.
I was delighted to hear that one school has announced that short t-shirts which reveal the belly are banned. Neither the students, nor the teachers may wear them. Should a student come to school in one, they will be greeted at the door and handed an oversized T-shirt to wear for the day.
The students dislike wearing the oversized T-shirts so much, that they are changing their wardrobes.
Clever....very clever.

THe oversized tees is a very clever answer to the problem! :) I do agree with uniforms, make the focus be on EDUCATION, not cliques and looks.

...although thinking of some of me ex-colleagues in belly-shirts - it sure would help their discipline in class....just through sheer fear :^)..
