Tax evasion

Believe it or not, I was not allowed to wear shorts to my public high school in Florida, but the girls could wear the skankiest skirts ever. I couldnt wear flip flops either, but the broads could rock those open toed shoes as well. Towards the end of school I was being sent home quite often, as I didn't and still don't see any reasoning being these rules, and there was a time when I would have to stop by the principal's office in the AM to show him I was wearing shoes and pants.

Ha, that is classy.

You should've started wearing a skirt to school.

What??? You had corrective training at a damn public school? Reminds me of the military. Once, I didn't iron and starch my uniform WHILE ON A DEPLOYMENT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT and my supervisor made me come to work in a different uniform (including MOPP4) on the hour, every hour, for 2 days. Yes, even during sleepy time.

I could expect crap like that in the military, but that's overboard for a public school. I would have been up in arms.

I went to a pretty gangster high school, and my last two years we had a lot of changes to improve the quality of the school, including a pretty extreme change in staff. By senior year we actually had to wear a lanyard with our ID on it at all times.

I had to do that too in the military. There was a name for it, like a fashion show or something. I was at a training command at the time, so it was unreasonably reasonable, but on deployment in absolute insanity.

Well in most of my school years I never had a dress code or anything up until like the 10th grade... that's when it started getting hectic at the time. Had to wear belts, no open-toed shoes, no facial piercings, no unnaturally colored hair, etc... I feel that was pretty lenient compared to today's standards, but I don't see how there can be a legal/moral basis for faculty enforcing corrective training on students beyond detention or assignments... especially not after school hours in the AM. I mean... that's seriously messed up. That's the state raising children and I don't see how that could have ever been accepted.
Not in public school. No way. And for parents to even let that happen is depressing to say the least.

If I may interject:

Hard at work reviewing an Italian progressive metalish/ acoustic album someone sent me.

The real question is how was the photo taken!
One of your cats is not really a cat, is it?

Lap top is on a small stand I keep next to my couch/bed, was fiddling around with the webcam on it in between the arbitrary 2 minute moments of silence found on every ****ing prog album.

:laughing:

I should have guessed. :D
