We all have different recollections of school, but we can all connect to the regulations. There are many highs and lows during this turbulent time.

It seems pointless to send someone home just because they brought a particular soda or because they are wearing too much makeup, even while some restrictions, like the one prohibiting jewelry at sporting events, make sense. Additionally, it robs the children involved of learning possibilities.

The times in children’s lives when they desire to be different and express who they are sometimes conflict with the rigid dress regulations that schools enforce.
