I Went Barefoot To School

Given the choice would you have attended school completely barefoot? During the summer.

Seems to be a regular and encouraged practice in New Zealand and South Africa so why not everywhere else during spring/summer.

I would have LOVED to have gone to school barefoot. Very strictly prohibited here. Plus, I went to private school during high school, and we had a formal dress code. The college handbook prohibited it, but so many of us wore flip-flops when it was warm, and those got kicked off all the time.

Our kids got to wear flip-flops to school. There were several times our son would get away in the morning walking to school, which he did barefoot all the time, only to discover that his flip-flops weren't in his backpack. I'd get a call from the school office, and I'd have to put clothes, on and bring them up there to him. Of course, I'd walk into the office barefoot, which he and I thought was funny.
