What I find stupid is you were told they did not have time to write a note ( note takes 2 whole minutes .. if that) but they had time to 1.pull her out of class. 2. call you in. 3. wait for you to get there.4. have a meeting with both of you. lol how are they saving time here?? These are the people who are teaching our children.. Lovely!

Just a follow up – I took Carl’s advice and sent an email to the Principal and Vice-Principal over a week ago and haven’t heard back from them.

That was ridiculous! I can’t begin to understand the mind of the person who decided that keeping a student out of an entire class period for wearing a “non-regulation” undershirt…and calling in a parent?!?

Personally, I don’t think that uniforms solve class or social issues (as you pointed out). However, as someone who wore school uniforms for 12 years, I didn’t personally mind it. It was easy, and you could spill anything on those plaid skirts and no stain would show (which is pretty creepy.) In my experience, no one was EVER pulled out of class for an infraction. They would get a reminder in the halls, maybe, but missing class? No way. The administration at the school needs to get their priorities straight. Poor Dylan.

Michael,
I just wanted to say that this rant of yours made me really proud that there are parents out there willing to stand up for their kids. You rock.

Can I just say, if white and red undershirts are allowed, how can pink be forbidden?

Hey Jonny, Laura and Josh – I think you guys all have points. I think the craziness of this comes in when intelligent people can’t make a desicision for them seHey Jonny, Laura and Josh – I think you guys all have points. I think the craziness of this comes in when intelligent people can’t make a decision for themselves and instead rely on the crutch of some regulation. That was Dylan’s second trip to the office in two years. They should have given her a verbal warning and sent her back to class with a note stating that she’d be talked to about the pink shirt. That would have taken 10 minutes. I asked the assistant principal why they just didn’t do that and her response was typical BS, “If we did that for your child we’d have to do that for everyone and we don’t have time to write notes for all the kids that show up with dress code violations.” My argument is of course you don’t write a note for the kids who are in the office every day but that’s not who Dylan is. To me it’s a case of smart people being institutionally stupid.

Killer B – I can’t believe your parents did that. My response would be, “get ready , we’re going to the Supreme Court!”

I got sent to the office in high school because I refused to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance. My parents wouldn’t get behind, told me to pick my battles (despite the fact that I obviously had), and I was forced to stand every day “or be punished accordingly.” It doesn’t have much to do with dress codes, but most of my teachers were not my pals in the same way Dylan’s are not: they’re somehow supposed to police “bad” behavior instead of working with (not against) us. Maybe I’ll do a vlog about this, too.
