School "Daze"


School began in earnest. Vanessa and Adrien have to wear "dress code." This brilliant (I'm being sarcastic, here) move was mandated from the school board last year to take effect this year. Basically the kids wear certain colored shirts/pants, belts, and polo shirts. Let's just say after this weeks election we will have new faces on the school board panel..the power of the vote! Anywho...I will have pictures of my Stepford children with big smiles on their compliant faces :)up soon. Naturally, the kids are determined to thwart this at every turn....Oh! Here are my models...We have the lovely Adrien with his white spike belt that says "I'll take the detention, pal" and his Converse butt-kickers, and the creme de la creme "skinny jeans"....Vanessa is wearing her "flip-flops" she saved from the John Kerry election debacle. She also defiantly wears her "logos" on her polos...Take that administration! Brett really has no clue about what he is wearing as long as it matches...when told to go to bed he has school again in the morning he replied--or whined, "You mean I have TO GO BACK? Oh! Man! That does not make sense."

I am just so glad that my kids are in Orange County right now, and not in Osceola because I cannot support the idea of the dress code. I feel so sorry for the seniors, who got to wear regular clothes for 12 years, and on year 13 are told to tuck, belt, and blah their clothes. YUCK!

I love school uniforms. I think they should be mandated for all public schools. I am very tired of school being a fashion disaster of hoochie mama outfits and baggie underwear showing pants. Court has uniforms this year and school shopping was the easiest, less time is spent wondering what to wear each day, and school work can actually be the focus, instead of which g-string is showing today. It has all been very positive, and now I am a big supporter.

I love uniforms. Court is wearing them this year. School shopping has never been easier, less time is being spent deciding what to wear, and best of all it has stopped the fashion disasters of hoochie mama outfits and baggie underwear showing pants. It is nice that school can be about school and not be about being the poster child for "What Not to Wear." After seeing the change, I am a supporter now.
