Children are required to attend school, while as we aren't required to go to Wal-Mart.

Good point. Private school is probably out of the price range of some people but Homeschooling might be viable.

He has a point. Parents and students alike should be made aware of the rules prior to signing up with the school. Once you sign up, you are agreeing to the rules and subject to disciplinary action in case you fail.
Yet stupid and unjust rules are just that, stupid and unjust.
A girl's longer hair doesn't disrupt the class, but somehow a boy's does? Na, it's just based on BS and what people want to enforce on what they see as "the right way" on others.

Na, he doesn't have a good point. The taxes [his] parents pay is what funds those public schools.
A stupid rule is a stupid rule. IMO, the board should have to prove the kid's long hair causes trouble for the class, since logic dictates it wouldn't.

Or maybe just to gradually educate children that there are rules that need to be followed but on a smaller scale of command.

yeah, i did construction too in my younger days and i wore some nice as expensive clothing. but, that wasnt my point. my point was that some working class people should be able to show up to court wearing what they may consider appropriate and not be solely on the opinion of a single power hungry judge especially if the person is not actually in violation of posted dress code 😎 😎

everyone needs to think the same, look the same, be the same
Knightfall does not have a good point.
Knightfa11, you do not have a good point.
1. Private schools are expensive.
2. Homeschool puts an undue financial burden on the family. At least one parent would have to not go to work in order to provide instruction. This is not a fair situation to impose on someone that wants the services offered. It is a completely different situation from your krazy kreashionist kookyhead brethren because they want the school not to teach their student something. This family is only asking for the public service mandated by law to be free.

maybe for families who have the financial security to have one parent be home during the day.
also, unless the parent is a very well educated individual, they probably aren't in the best position to be an educator. For as much as I will complain about teachers, most do know their subject, and at highschool level, you do need some specialization. Even then, being educated doesn't mean you can teach well.

Hey, if they wanted an education for their kids they should have chosen to be poor.

You broke it, actually.
It is far easier for a lower class family, financially, to send their children to college than a middle class family.
Even if you're middle class, and make less than $60,000, just have a bunch of kids, and you'll get to send them to college for free...on grants.
If more people realized this, the grant money would dry-up/bankrupt the system.
It's just that....lot's of people lack motivation or confidence.
