Mother Mystic Member Registered: 04/30/06 Posts: 30 Loc: Rhode Island	Remember when girls couldn't wear pants to school except on freezing winter days and we had to wear a skirt over them? My kids actually don't believe me when I tell them about the dress code. I took part in the protests that eventually ended the dress code in high school. It was exciting, first there were only 2 or 3 of us sitting outside the principal's office in our bell bottoms waiting to get sent home, then more and more until they finally caved in and let us wear pants. I'm proud to have been a dress code pioneer! On the other hand, I don't approve of the sexy bare as much as you can Lolita look some kids wear these days...can't believe the parents buy their kids these duds! Mother Mystic

Then I could twirl on the bars and no one would hollar that they could see my panties... Quite a few girls at my son's high school actually wear pajama pants and slippers to school - what's up with that? Kathy

I wore a uniform to school and tried everything I possibly could to add accessories so we didn't all look the same. How about when we entered the work force and wore pant suits with dress dhirts and little ribbons as ties?

I liked that because some of the spoiled rich brats were very cruel to these children. Thank God some of our parents taught us better than that. We wore pleated navy blue jumpers (remember those) with white blouses. We had navy knee socks. The boys wore navy trousers and pale blue shirts with clip on navy ties. We were a spiffy little group...

Lola Member Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 3703 Loc: London UK	We wore uniforms 7 days a week. Mondays through Saturdays were the regular ones then, a white version for Sundays. Our uniforms were also numbered. And those that were not, were confiscated. Hems were supposed to touch the floor when you kneel. It was also compulsory to wear a chemise. We were only civilians at night in our pajamas. No nighties. Modesty was the order of the day. _________________________ <><
