We've started school shopping already. I don't know how this happened, but our kids start school on August 17th. It just doesn't seem right:-( I have noticed a growing trend as far as clothes go. If I think back to about three years ago, I couldn't find much in the way of superhero clothes for kids. A little Batman and Superman on the DC side, and a little Spidey and Hulk on the Marvel side. Most of it was pajamas to boot. In our travels the past few days, there have been cool shirts all over the place. Multiple JL, GL, Batman and Superman on the DC side, and Spidey, Avengers, Iron Man, Thor, Cap, and X-Men on the Marvel side. Throw in Star Wars, Transformers, and all the different incarnations of Lego, and the kids today have it as good as we ever did in my estimation. There will be some tough choices this year for sure.

heh, our public high school just up and decided to make UNIFORMS a requirement beginning this school year.
Stores all over town are scrambling to get enough uniforms in....it's a joke by every stretch of the imagination.
The school is failing - uniforms won't solve a thing. hell, they didn't enforce the dress code they HAD....and now, they are boasting of SUSPENSION if the kid doesn't wear proper attire on Day #2.
geez -
Its compulsary to wear a uniform to school over here,its been like this for decades,my daughter even has to wear a sort of uniform when she is doing sports,like a certain coloured top and gym skirt.They grow up fast and we find that we got to replace certain bits of the uniform every so often,instead of every school year.

Sounds as if Big Brother is starting to make people "conform" at an early age now. To me that is just not right. Without going all polictical here what ever happened to FREEdom to choose?Enjoy what you like, and let others enjoy what they like. (C) Azrak 2009

I think school uniforms are ok, as long as they are unisex for all.
It's not fair making girls wear skirts if they don't want to.Comment

On the flipside, a vice prinicipal of my daughter's school who is known to grab kids by their clothes if she feels it is inappropriate grabbed my daughter by the strap of a thick banded tank top she was wearing underneath a short sleeved shirt (no skin exposed), snapped it and told her it was inappropriate. I contacted the principal and told him that no school administrator has permission to touch my daughter's clothing in a rude manner like that and they are to contact me directly if there is an issue with her not abiding by school dress code (we read both the school and county dress code and she was nowhere near breaking it). The response was the typical beareaucratic mumbo jumbo in a vain attempt to somehow justify the actions to which I simply said "No School Personnel touches my daughter's clothing...am I clear?" Not a word from them regarding her attire since that day."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

I forgot to add that when I essentially told the principal no one is to touch my daughter's clothing; he quickly assured me it would not happen it again. I did not feel the need to take it any further up the food chain at that point in time and told my daughter to inform me if it happened again."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

Of course it will not happen again. After you called them on it they knew they had over stepped the boundaries.
IF it were to happen again those people are dumber than I thought. 
Best wishes for you and your Daughter and I hope this truly is the last time something like this happens.

In central Ohio, we have a store called "Once Upon a Child". Right now they're blowing out their clearance. Items up to $10 are now $1, and items $10-$20 are $2. Not sure how much selection is left, but the wife came home with a lot. Gap & Children's Place jeans for $1 or $2 - not a bad deal.Comment

The vice Principal had absolutely no right in touching your Daughter or ANY child in that manner in my opinion. I would not stop there I would pursue that issue farther up the food chain.
