Zippers are inherently risky compared to buttons. Just ask the Amish .
Wait. Are we talking about constellations again?
Anyway, I'm sure there's no problem to be caused by reminding girls that middle-aged people are thinking about what is under their outer clothes.
Under where?
(I think a fun game as a parent is to take a joke that the kids bring home from school, and then relentlessly abuse it for years and years and years.
"Hey, look at that thing under there!")
"Which numbers are scared that 7 will eat them?"
Not new at all, but this reaffirms that schools sure can police appearance and clothing if they want to - which has come up lately with respect to mask-wearing.
It really has heightened the contradictions there. "You don't understand! We ask them to put their masks on, but they don't do it!"
My favorite part of anti-masking advocates is how they have decided, for sound policy reasons, that they should display their faces when committing crimes.
I'd guess the dress code isn't clear on this point. In my experience, school administrators, faced with such ambiguity, will just make shit up and be extremely self-righteous about it.
That said, wearing a zip-up hoodie as your only non-underwear layer seems... inadvisable.
It is such a synergistic match for a certain type of adolescent male. Wait, I can combine laziness, slovenliness, and fuck you to authority all in one single gesture that couldn't be easier, and I have cover to morph into being more or less antagonistic on a whim without having to commit to any one stance? Sign me the goddamn up!
This is based on the sizing-me-up side-eye exchanges I have with droopy-masked male college students in public indoor spaces.
I'd guess the dress code isn't clear on this point.
It's hard to anticipate that you need to explicitly list all the different ways you're not supposed to undress your students.
(which is in Florida and I have no connection with anyone there.)
When something stupid happens in Florida, I always assume that heebie is implicated somehow.
I have my areas of intersection.
Unfortunately apparently when I was a clueless teacher unable to manage a classroom, there was a rash of kids daring each other to flash while the teacher's back was turned. My classroom was originally favored because I did not have the proverbial eyes in the back of my head. It started off with two guys competing with mooning shots, and one of them was in my class. But some of the girls in their social circle in someone else's classroom upped the ante by flash unzipping a hoody with a lace bra underneath. I gather that part of the art had morphed and became doing it enough to register but fast enough not to get photographed, and any photographs had to be bought off the lucky photographer with alcohol or favors. A different girl, in my original class, owas upset by the whole scene broke down and told her parents and they told me and it set off a whole Title IX investigation. The kid who started it in my class apologized and stopped, and her parents said they were satisfied with my response but not the larger issue and took her out of the school after the semester ended. Since everything was on a need to know basis I never found out how the admin finally squelched it but it was very disruptive, and I think profoundly upsetting to this girl.
This in no way justifies any of the interactions described in the OP. But it gave me a new appreciated for the downside of zippers on the primary shirt.
Montana kindly requests that you hold its beer: https://www.mtpr.org/post/montana-house-advances-dress-code-requiring-suits-and-ties
They're not undressing women senators yet, but that's right around the corner.
19: Holy moly, that is a crazy mess.
The only solution is to also have teachers unzip the boys' pants and verify that there's no moon down there.
20: That seems so.... un-Montana! Like, they should require everyone have two days of scruffy stubble, Wranglers, and a length of rope and an unpretentious yet practical pocketknife on them.
In junior high, there was a kid in my class who would go back to the pencil sharpener and take out his penis/balls. He's dead now, only one of us so far.
AIMHBALO, my dad set up a dress code for lawyers before his court entirely to stop them from playing cowboy for the jury.
23: Ashes to ashes, shavings to shavings. In the end, we're all ground down.
Would they at least allow bolo ties?
I remember so much because he made me retype it so he had a copy in Apple Works.
Does Montana also have the thing of people moving from Maryland or whatever, and from then on wearing a cowboy hat and affecting an accent, like Texas does?
That seems a little harsh. They could just unzip the bolo tie and check what's underneath.
Now I'm down a rabbit hole of reading articles about bolo ties in Montana government...
"To have some high school say that a bolo tie is not a tie is an outrage," said Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D), who called The Washington Post yesterday after reading an article about 17-year-old Thomas Benya.
Who is the Beau Brummell of the Montanians?
31: entire oil & gas industry in us - heavy drawl, turns out dude actually from connecticut, etc. now running into the same guys who've moved over to wind/solar & shedding the accent (even if still based in or frequently working in tx).
They still probably get sexually aroused by pollution.
My office has reached out to the administrators in question to offer assistance in future investigations.
also, serious endorsement of 15, & to 13.2 - ???
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas all have the bolo tie codified as "official state neckwear" and you can definitely wear them to court. I'm not sure how the gradient works going north.
I've been out skiing all afternoon, sorry. It was glorious.
I have a couple of bolo ties. I've never worn them at a jury trial, or in court at all, but in depositions in the East or in Europe. One has a silver clasp, with Gov Schweitzer's logo, and the other has a big turquoise clasp and was given to me by a Navajo band I was working with. I don't take insults of the latter one lightly.
Our congressman is from Maryland, and mispronounces the name of the state. And is a real jerk. And yes, he bought some little land way out east and acts like he's some kind of rancher (without any livestock). It's all pretty pathetic, but Trump has defined inauthenticity so far down that there just aren't any standards at all. Will the census mean I am not longer represented by him? Looks quite possible.
One of my favorite east-side politicians is Barbara Bessette, a nationally competitive barrel racer -- that is, a real cowgirl (and also Indigenous) -- who's been saying that when she wins her seat back next election, she's going to show up wearing only a tie.
How on Earth does anyone from any part of the US mispronounce Montana?
The wind/solar accent is probably going to be the California climber accent. Chalk hobos? I forget.
Maryland Matt, as he's known in Dem circles, pulls it off.

How is "Jolyon Maugham" the name of a prominent activist barrister rather than a manager at a mutual society in a Dickens novel?

45: wait, are you serious? Or was that an early April fools?
47: I was not serious! It was just me being silly. But it's true that the guy from 46 calls it "Maughamana".
@46 the answer is that it is both.
On the OP, I had a school uniform where a particular shirt had to be of a certain material, and not of the material of the similar (mostly indistinguishable, in colour and form) shirt that we wore on other occasions.
