Although I was a dress code rebel as a kid, I feel like this generation might benefit from uniforms. It’s beneficial for kids to learn that you need to change your attire to fit the situation. So many of them seriously don’t know that there’s a difference.

I second this. My kids elementary school had half a uniform - shirts could be any color, long or short sleeved but had the school logo on them. The biggest drama in getting them dressed in the morning was which color to choose.

Yes thank you—Let’s not bring up some shit-hole prompt for your first 5-paragraph essay.

you really make sense - and yet, if one were expressing in a way you found demeaning to another student you’d probably the first to shut that kid down.

Then the dress code should be “dress professionally” not a bunch of bullet points that are clearly targeted at girls. And for that matter, “dressing professionally” should target band t-shirts as much as it targets crop tops.

I’m familiar with the family name because one of my university’s libraries is named after her grandfather(?), but that’s as far as my interest goes.

I watched Hannah Bronfman drunkenly run into a wall at a party in high school. She later got kicked out for smoking pot on a class trip.

How much vetting did they really need to do, though? Isn’t that like, the new standard issue white supremacist douche haircut?

Nah, I just asked if I’m going to buy a house or get a dog. Want both, but currently can’t get either.

I got so lucky in this regard. My folks don’t even care that I’m mid twenties and never dated. They know I plan to adopt kids one day even if I never meet anyone so grandbabies are assured, and until then they have my dog to coo over (I’ve joked that when I temporarily move in with them while job hunting in DC they’ll…

Keep breathing. They give up after a few decades!
