Uniforms are fine if you get a good one. (You never get a good one) (Seriously, who the gently caress puts maroon sweaters with grey trousers?)

Ours was pollen yellow and brown. Also I didn't wear it for most of my time there because they literally didn't have stuff in the size for me and the other tall people there. My year alone had 7 people at 6'4" or above at age 16

Malachite_Dragon posted:"The heat is only an issue for a few weeks each year", he raises his voice over the sound of students dropping from heat stroke. This isn't even hyperbole. I know teachers there telling me that kids are fainting in their classes because the only window is the door (with no air con), and they have to wear long pants in what can be 40 degree heat. gently caress that.

I know teachers there telling me that kids are fainting in their classes because the only window is the door (with no air con), and they have to wear long pants in what can be 40 degree heat. gently caress that. Exactly. I set the air con at 18 during interval in my room, and will not let anyone even look at the remote, let alone change it. The kids that come in during period 4 or period 5 always comment on how nice it is compared to outside. But hey, I guess classroom behaviour management won't be a problem when all the kids have literally fainted. Massey High are doing this to basically advertise to their community, but a fair few of their kids would come from families that live within the school zone, and when they're also telling the school to gently caress off, it's pretty obvious they've made a poo poo decision that they've failed to think through on. As for "it's only for a few weeks in the year?" Try saying that when it's your kid that collapsed from heat stroke. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Feb 22, 2016 |

The argument I always heard for uniforms was that they equalised classes a bit because everyone had to buy the same poo poo, there was no rich kid with designer jeans and shirts. It's also easier to police for the teachers, since there's a lot less subjectivity involved when there's one official uniform. Of course, it's all bullshit, because the poor kids have to buy third-hand uniform that is yellower than it should be and smells funny, and the rich kids get new uniforms and fancy shoes every year, and everyone knows who is who.

 When your school system is sounding more batshit than what I encountered in the Texas public school system, you are doing a bad job. VVVV Yeah, no. When they're on the school grounds, then the school can tell them what to do. They shouldn't get a say in anything the children do when school is out. All that'll do is encourage them to act more like twats in rebellion. Malachite_Dragon fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Feb 22, 2016 |

I see rear end in a top hat rules like that, and all I can think of is how the hell they expect to be able to enforce this poo poo. Some hall monitor jerking awake in the middle of the night because somewhere, a student is drinking a soda with his jacket slung over his shoulder.

Macleans is in a bit of a unique position — they have a ludicrously small zone where property prices are inflated just because of access to the school. It's all a peninsular, with the school right in the middle of it. I think they'd get visibility over most of the in-zone students on their way home, either directly or through busybody parents narking on them.

I got pulled up for smoking in my school uniform outside of school, I pretty much did tell the deputy head to go gently caress himself (that was a months detention) and made it a point to light up at the gates in front of whatever teachers I could see. Also, drinking in town in uniform. I am positive that overbearing authorities are the major cause of kids being raucous impetuous dickheads.

Some friends of mine were literally entrapped by the school. Someone had taken photos of them smoking in uniform outside of school, and when the dean called them in they denied it of course, so he made them sign something saying they hadn't been before revealing that he had the photos.

Literal entrapment would be if it was the dean who had offered the kids the cigarettes in the first place. This is just catching them in a lie.

I'm so glad schools are doing all this instead of spending time on things that might engage teenagers with learning, rather than make them hate people in positions of authority.

When I was at Macleans, some teachers would actually drive around the area after class to make sure student's uniforms were impeccable, and that nobody was eating or drinking while in uniform. Don't send your kids to Macleans.

A lot of schools (particularly girls schools) have this weird thing about eating in public. Obviously at a restaurant is fine, but like you cant sit at the bus stop with a bag of chips in school uniform.Lancelot posted:Literal entrapment would be if it was the dean who had offered the kids the cigarettes in the first place. This is just catching them in a lie. Getting them to sign the thing was the extra, unnecessary step, it wasn't standard practice to have students sign written statements. He made them "officially" lie to him which they wouldn't have done if they'd known he had pictures. Thats like the definition of entrapment. voiceless anal fricative fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Feb 22, 2016 |

I was sent home in 5th form one time for wearing the "wrong" socks. Note, my uniform was pants, and it was winter, and I was wearing farm flecks. The teacher ordered them off, so I did, and shoved then in my bag - he demanded I hand then over, I said nope, he reached for my bag and I pulled it away before he could grab it. He ordered me hone, and of course I left - I went home and played video games. Yeah I was a right little oval office at school, but of course I was - I was 15 for fucks sake.

Our senior (form 5 to 7) uniform was awesomely generic: black below the waist, white above the waist. So you could wear black Roman sandals, black hot pants, and a white ruffled Victorian look-at-how-goth-I-am shirt if you wanted to. In practice, our uniform was black jeans, docs, and a white t-shirt -- as long as there was no colour on the shirt, no branding, no logo, it was fine. We would get hassled by teachers and told to change our shirt if there was even a hint of a Nike swoosh on a t-shirt. I remember a kid getting suspended for smoking down the road, outside of school grounds, while in school uniform. His legitimate gripe was that he technically wasn't in uniform, because he was wearing a white t-shirt with some crappy surf design on the front. It was a pretty good lesson in authority and bullshit for us all.

Boys college in Nelson, uniform wasn't really that bad. Only thing was forgetting mufti day was brutal af, remember seeing a kid pelted with oranges just walking up the road. Also; I wrote some notes from the Trump rally, felt like writing it into a blog. In short basically it was a mixed bag of as bad as we have all imagined/seen - i.e. a quasi-fascist rally of mind-numbing stupidity - but also there were enough people there who made it all more humorous/not as serious of a threat as it might seem. Got just a few photos-  The rally took place in this absolutely cavernous lower level part of the Georgia World Congress Center. There were basically no chairs or seating, which was funny because it was quickly pressing against the fitness boundaries of the some of the attendees. Still, there was easily 10k+ people there.    -I thought this one might be good for intellectual property fuss - Afterwards - Sign from one of the few protestors who arrivedSeriously though, some of the rhetoric, and the way the crowd engaged with it, really was frightening. Everyone was absolutely thirsty for some kind of bloodsport of a protestor appearing - and when one did, the amount of noise and directed '2 minutes of hate' was something to behold. It was clear that actually Trump revelled in this and would have frankly been put out of there was no one to cause such a fuss Jacobin fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Feb 23, 2016 |
