flyers about dress codes at cleveland middle school

Well it kinda ties into disease prevention...and how aids was first discovered in the homosexual communities in the US....My daughter already knew about lesbians, because I had to explain that one, because I have some lesbian friends. I think it was more they covered the basic material, but then questions were being asked and answered at a minimal answer..then the kids discussed it in furter detail on the bus. All I head all night was how "gross" all the sex stuff was...LOL..hopefully she'll keep thinking that for a little while longer.

 

In most cases, barring jumping or being held back, the grade can be calculated as:

AGE - 5 = GRADE

 

You asked me first! Gee, I sound like I'm in grade school.

Sure you can. If you find a school environment that measured creativity in some form then went to uniforms, what are the creativity points of measurement showing now? If you have school A and school B and all other things being equal, school A has uniforms and B does not, then you could define creativity measurements and draw some conclusions.

I think those advocating change are the ones that have to provide proof that there would be improvement.

 

How apropos of you.

I didn't say there would be an improvement. You said creativity would be stifled. and I was disagreeing with that assessment. I have given several examples where uniforms were required (military and parochial schools) and creativity was not stifled. Indeed, in these situations, there appears to be less, if any, gang activity.

Now can you prove that, simply by requiring uniforms, that creativity is stifled?

 

You think the military and parochial schools are engines of creativity? I think we might be approaching creativity in a different way.

Both of those environments are very clear. Think like I tell you to think, don't question authority and do as you are told. In fact, I think most military would say this is required for an effective military.

 

So, what about prisons? Uniforms are required and gang activity is prevalent.

 

That's not what I said. I said that creativity was not stifled in these schools.

If that were the case, then how come the greatest military leaders have come from these schools (as opposed to those who enter through ROTC or OTS)?

And, besides military and parochial schools, many private schools also require uniform dress.

Be that as it may, though, you're still saying that the schools that require uniform dress are not "engines of creativity", and yet offer no proof.

Now you're being silly.
