I Had Or Have To Wear A School Uniform

Did anyone else ever wear their school tie short with a fat knot? I don't even know why we did it, it was just the cool thing to do. Then one day, the school decided it wasn't a cool thing to do and we started getting punished for it.
How unfair!

I wore a uniform for 12 year's
@smileylovesgaming Was the discipline and self-control needed to wear it useful for you?

@Alfred22 oh yes
What sort of penalties were there for being "out of uniform" and were poor or poorer kids inclined to get them?

@Alfred22 well really since the public school closed down. They did let public kid's in. Public one's didn't need to wear a uniform. But they had to dress nice. No tear pants. Boxers couldn't show. No belly button showing. Bras couldn't show.
Could students be punished for violating the dress code? If so, what were the consequences and did they seem fair?

@Alfred22 u would be wrote up. So you have a chance to go home and change. But if u did it for a 3rd time u would get the paddle or after school detention
That's what I was worried about but you could go back and address the uniform issue. With clubs and teams, uniforms are a joint effort with parents.

@Alfred22 most of the students did follow the rules. I remember a few girl's being sent home. Some of the teenage boy's being sent home. Baggy jeans and boxers showing.
How many of the public school kids had parents who signed the paddling consent form? I have no sense of which way that choice would go.

@Alfred22 I remember hearing a few got signed. They are strict about rules. The principal use to walk around with a ruler for skirts
What was the requirement? Inches below the knee?

Could anyone accidentally break the skirt length rule? Was it a paddling offense the first time?

@Alfred22 uniform skirts was below the knee. Public skirt was just above the knee. First time it was a write up. They kept a clipboard and it had all the names and how many write ups

@smileylovesgaming What is the difference between a uniform skirt and a public skirt in terms of school?

@SW-User my oldest she would all was roll her skirt up. She wore the uniform. They was pretty strict with the uniform. Even the shirt had to be wrinkle free. Public kid's didn't need to
Uniform skirts could be and were rolled up at great peril to the owner!

@smileylovesgaming the school girls near me all roll up the waistband of their skirts. It is very common here in England these days

@Alfred22 I remember rose got the paddle a few time's.

I remember this one girl she got the paddle. I remember when she left the office she was yelling at the principle. I'm going to call my daddy and tell him u paddled me, and he will have this school closed down. She was like the hottest cheerleader at the public school

@smileylovesgaming the Principal should have dragged her back in and paddled her again for such an outburst
What did she do to get her licks? Her parents must have signed the form. Was she injured or just the usual tingle and smarting?

@SW-User she was spoiled. I remember she and her group of girl's was kicked out of school for being a bully to another girl
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
@Alfred22 it was the skirt rule.

@smileylovesgaming I hate school bullies. Hope she got paddled for the bullying before she got kicked out
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
@SW-User I don't remember if she was. But they wasn't allowed back in the school

@smileylovesgaming Good riddance

@SW-User they are very strict about bullying.
