I School Uniform

Seeing kids near the local school, well they just look [i]so[/i] scruffy!

Boys - scuffed shoes, shirt tails hanging out, ties short and hanging loose around the neck.

Girls - skirts that look more like wide belts that look like they should be on a street corner.

Am I turning into a grumpy old woman or just jealous I could never get away with that, hmmm....

I was never in a Parochial School. Forgive me for appearing out of line.
One suggestion would be to take some photos and present them to the school board. Have them pass around the photos at their next meeting, along with a written note.... "This is what we are presenting to the world. What we as a school are allowing our children to know is permissible."
Please do this. Or ask another if they would. Find out when the next P.T.A. is and pass around the photos.
This is NOT to reprimand the parents. Most of them work. These children are in the care and protection of the School. THEIR job is to protect!

By chance if the school ignores you, Search to see who else you could send it to. When a child presents herself looking like a 'Lady of the Night' Something needs to be done!

Know if you anonymously mail the photos to the school the letter will be trashed.
Today's Children, Tomorrows Hookers.
Your job certainly is not to humiliate these children. Your job is to protect!
I will assume when this is read, I will be chopped down and used as kindling for nest years winter.

Another point to make at their P.T.A. ASK! "When was the last time YOU as a parent came to the school? Looked around? Walked the halls to see these teachers turning their heads the other way?"
