Dress code for parents at high school

ecofarm said:
But dress codes excluding bathrobes is not times changing. That's never been acceptable dress to anything remotely serious.

And people attempting to wear bathrobes to serious places? That's always been, always will be and will never change.

So from both ends it's business as always. People try to wear bathrobes to places they shouldn't and are told not to. This always has and always will happen. No change.

If people start letting me wear pajamas everywhere without objection, I'll let you know. I do have plans to change that, but that's a story in itself.

Playboy is not merely porn, it's culture. But if I tried to claim that as an excuse for pajamas I'd be run out of town.

That is how the real world works. Your boss doesnt have to accept your reason for being late to work any more than the school has to accept your kids reason for being late to class. Its not a power trip, its an understanding of expectations. Blowing up at the school for expecting your kid to be on time set a bad example for your kid, as it gives them the impression that they should be able to expect someone else to accept thier reasons for things, and we all know that just isnt true.

As for the dress code itself.....I dont know where you do your shopping, but I would assume that if someone is comfortable enough to go to do thier shopping in pajama pants, slippers and a hoodie, its quite likely that those same people would feel comfortable going to the kids open house at school in the same thing.

People Of Walmart - Funny Pictures of People Shopping at Walmart : People Of Walmart is a real website. I wont link to it directly, but if you are interested, go check it out. Ill just preface it by saying that I believe in my heart of hearts that the vast majority of people you will see there would indeed wear that **** to the kids school to handle business.

That is not what I said. The school would let some people get there late for some excuses and other people they wouldn't.

It is either late kids don't get in, or not.

Also I did not do it in front of the kid, or course.

Why is it kids with sound excuse are admitted late while those without a good excuse are not?
Got an idea why that might be a reasonable policy?

I'm really grateful that there are so many ads and that pages take so long to load; I'd be visiting that site for a few minutes every day.

Who said it was without a good excuse? Sometimes they let the kid in and sometimes they do not with the same excuse.

Anyway, I made it clear that if they didn't let my kid in for that day, I would not pay for that day. They didn't like that.

You seem to be confused about the topic of this thread. Why not read through it and try again?

To touch on your off topic posts, the majority of the hard working single mothers I know of all colors do present themselves professionally at school events and at the public inner city schools I go to every single person is dressed as expected with not a pajama in sight. So get off your high horse of stereotypes because you really are just showing how ignorant you are.

Well it appears that the black parents are complaining because they wear showercaps to school. Race has everything to do with this thread.

Sorry you can't make the connection. I can see how many Trumpets could not. It is part of the problem.

Trump preys on the narrow of mind.

I've been hinting for the last several posts ar something you should have gotten after the first. You STILL haven't understood what I've been hinting at.

I suggest you not comment on anyone's mind...

it would appear the issue you have experienced with your child is a matter of credibility
that another student having the same excuse was allowed to attend while your child was not

God Bless you.

You obviously aren't going to get it, so I'll explain it to you. I am not a Trump supporter. Ask one of the numerous Trump supporters and they'll laugh at you for suggesting it.

No, I call your opinions on school parent dress code stupid because they are stupid. You are trying to force YOUR beliefs onto others, making everyone else in society do what you want them to do. Your position is stupid.

Again, I highly recommend you not comment on the state of mind of anyone on this forum.

should we all have to wear MAGA hats? Is that what will be demanded next?

God bless you narrow minded hypocrites.

That's a red herring to cover up the fact that you have no argument other than that there should be no societal standards at all. Really weak.

why would parents expect to be subject to a less restrictive dress code standard than their children/students?

Because they're ****ing adults and the government doesn't have the authority to tell them how to dress?

Show up at your local school wearing nothing but a jock strap and tell me how that worked out

My kids are not a student of that school, so no, i did not get the memo mentioning no g strings or ugg boots allowed.

Is that what parents wear in Australia?

ugg boots yes, g strings no. But beaches in Aus are a good place 2 go if you want g sting action. I think its to provocative. Who wants to see a woman's full arse walking or running down the beach or just walking her dog along the bike path. I do. That's why i ride my bike every day down that bike path. And i slow down at critical times. I ring my bell at the last minute.

I have long held the opinion that there should be a dress code for posting on DP. We have our standards, don't we? First to ban would be any and all text on clothing. The epitome of vulgarity.

Perhaps all posts should be accompanied by a certificate from two witnesses stating that the poster was modestly attired at the time of typing.

Each post should be accompanied by a contemporaneous selfie to prove each poster is in uniform.

Come on, man......there is a time and a place for everything. When you show up at the school for some reason wearing your shower cap and bathrobe, there is a message that is being sent with that action. It say that you couldn't even take the time to put on some damned clothes to come deal with something as important as your childs ****ing education. That is a damned shame.

As for your statement about it being about what society has come to accept.....you are right on that. Society shouldn't accept people not being able to take the time to at least dress for an occasion. I mean I'm gonna be real about it.....nothing makes me shake my head and lose faith in my fellow man more that going to Safeway and seeing some **** in a pair of pajama pants and slippers. It reeks of laze and the lack of a desire to be accepted in public.

My man-boobs bring all the girls to the yard.

This is me stopping to pick up a few things at WalMart before heading over to my PTA meeting:

Excellent idea for a dress code for parents.

Children are influenced by their parents.

That's why we have so many bad children: They were influenced by bad parents.

I love to walk around Hollywood (California) and West Hollywood.

I am an old man (82), but I try to look at least presentable: clean jeans and a solid-color shirt, preferably tucked in.

I notice that some (many? most?) of my fellow pedestrians (male, female, old, young, all ethnicities) show no care in selecting their outfit for the day.

In West Hollywood, I notice that the most presentable women are elderly. They came here from Russia decades ago. Many wear skirts or dresses when they leave home for their daily grocery treks.

No one has to be as elegant as our charming First Lady, but couldn't more women dress in a more ladylike manner?

As for the men, couldn't they have a little more care about how they look? (By the way, this Trump supporter wishes that His Excellency would lose a little weight. I notice that he does not button his suit jacket. When he visits His Majesty Emperor Naruhito (the new Japanese emperor) in May, he should button his jacket, for goodness' sake!)
