But somehow, nobody received word about it. It's interesting because all this trouble could have been avoided had parents and students taken a little more interest in the goings on of one of the many groups of people that affects almost their everyday lives - the school board. I realize that efforts have been futile in the past, but I hope people now see the importance of such a governing body and realize how they affect us so. Parents and students are not the only ones who should have shown some responsibility, however. The small group of people responsible for the dress code proposal should have let students and parents know what was going on.
Lack of communication is where the gist of the problem lies.
And I think all parties are to blame. I don't agree with the protest that students staged Friday, although their intentions have been well taken. I was glad to see school officials were then willing to listen to them and meet with parents. For the record, I agree wholeheartedly with the grooming paraphenalia issue. I just can't seem to comprehend the shirt tucking thing.
