dream world if you dont think there are bullies in private schools, you are acting like it dont happen and if it does happen then the kid gets in a fight and nothing happens, well that is fine, but Ibet there are guidelines or else every fight would be blamed on a bully,a dn fights do happenin private schools.

Student: Seattle private school pushed me out after bullying - seattlepi.com

 

Where did I say fights don't happen? Of course they do. I said there isn't a set of guidelines on how to handle it. They can look at each and every incident individually and handle them as they see fit.

Ummm....What does that have to do with anything? In a private school none of this happens. .

 

I guess this is where I took your info meaning that NONE OF THIS HAPPENS

No kidding, I drop my boys off at school and think to myself, there is no way a parent is ok w/ their daughters dressing like that. Why do shorts need to be so short at school, or really, anywhere?

Late last night I googled some public-school dress codes: Pike County, Gallatin County, Russell County, Covington Holmes, one other that I can't remember. Some codes are short and general; others (Holmes) are lengthy and detailed. One school did not allow boys to wear ball caps on campus. Another said ball caps could not be worn backwards. One district actually specified that holes in jeans could not be above the knee. Another restricted pajama bottoms from being worn in class.

 

I guess the bottom line is all of these dress codes (as well as codes governing use of cellphones, etc.) are much more specific than they used to be. And for good reason.

 

Not a whole lot of jobs these days more difficult than being an assistant principal at a high school.

Speaking just in terms of a dress code, it doesn't have to be difficult if a plan is in place and it is enforced. Make the rule, enforce it on everybody, and there's nothing difficult about it. Take the time to write a detailed (if that's how strict you want it to be) dress code, and enforce it.

Newport High school has a Dress code The students that I see walking to school look very neat and put together . Khakis and it appears shirts in their school colors . Very nice .

Simple and easy, very easy to enforce. I never had to wear uniforms, but I wouldn't have been opposed to something like this.

I went to Newport Catholic ,graduated in 1965 . We had to wear dress pants and a shirt and tie . Now there were all sorts and manner of ties worn . Dress shoes no sneakers . Neat and presentable was the preferred norm , and the priests and Christian brothers did enforce it .:thumb::wave:

This. Not sure why people over think this. Dress pants and a polo. Pretty freakin simple. You can get polos in just about any color at Walmart for about $10.

Yep. You can get an entire "school wardrobe" for the year for less than $100. People spend that much on one pair of shoes, myself included. Uniforms are definitely a cheaper, and more hassle-free alternative.

I've not read the rest of the posts but here goes.

 

 

I agree with the incident involving the fishing knives in the students vehicle. It's still on school property and who's to say what can of events could happen after if school officials aren't allowed to punish for weapons in a vehicle on school property. Maybe he was going to knife someone after school in the parking lot, who knows.

 

Seems pretty clear to me.

The problem with punishing a student for having a "weapon" in their car is that the car itself could be a weapon if they wanted to hurt an individual. A tire tool can be a weapon. If someone is going to hurt someone, they can do it with sticks and rocks if they want. The Wiki definition of a weapon is any devise used in order to inflict damage or harm to living beings, structures, or systems. The key word is "used" Everything can be considered a weapon if we assume that a person will use it in that manner, but if there is no intention at all to harm then most things are not weapons. I honestly believe that society has lost touch with reality.
