School officials are sick and tired of watching those sexy, juicy children all day - Polidicks

[release]FITCHBURG — Sweatpants that read “juicy” across the back and shirts that read “sexy” and “Jesus is Dead” are distractions, some of this city's school officials say, and would be removed from the academic atmosphere if a school uniform policy were implemented. Proponents of the idea say it could increase student achievement and safety while leveling the playing field for all students. The proposal is still in its early stages here and Superintendent Andre R. Ravenelle has cautioned the Fitchburg School Committee — which would vote on implementing the policy — to move slowly and start by seeking input from parents. Without parents' support, he said, the policy wouldn't work. Some other cities in Massachusetts that have adopted school uniform policies say there are tangible benefits, both for students and for the school system. Azell M. Cavaan, spokesperson for the Springfield school system, for example, said that 26,000-student system adopted such a policy last year and has seen improved safety and better learning. In Worcester, Mary E. Labuski, assistant principal at Jacob Hiatt Magnet Elementary School, said since the school adopted a uniform policy it has seen an increase in positive behavior. The issue was brought to the forefront in Fitchburg when the district conducted an informal phone survey that found parents were divided on the issue with about 53 percent in favor of the idea. Sally A. Brown, whose granddaughter, 15-year-old Bria L. Pichette, is a sophomore at Fitchburg High School, said she supports the idea. Mrs. Brown works in the cafeteria at Arthur M. Longsjo Jr. Middle School and said she sees many girls wearing “sexy clothing.” “I think the clothes teenagers are wearing are too sexy,” she said. “They wear low-cut tops — the cleavage has got to show.” Her granddaughter, she said, is “right there with the rest of them” when it comes to dressing sexy for school, but said she is thankful Bria doesn't expect her parents to buy $50 jeans and $100 sneakers. “I think parents could afford uniforms better,” Mrs. Brown said. “And, the kids would look nice, neat and more sophisticated.” On the other side, Thomas R. Clark, whose 15-year-old son, Spenser T. Clark, attends Fitchburg High, said he is not in favor of the idea and doesn't think his son would be, either. He described his son as dressing “Abercrombie & Fitch-style” and said he feels enforcing the current dress code is sufficient. “He wouldn't be very crazy about the idea,” Mr. Clark said of his son. “He already attended a parochial school in Fitchburg where he had to wear a uniform. I think the kids coming out of the school at the end of the day are dressed fine.” Even if the proposal were embraced by a majority of Fitchburg parents, it could be difficult to persuade older students in the district of its benefits. Florencia A. Garcia-Rey, 17, and Karla G. Moreno, 16, both spoke against the idea outside the school last week. “I think people should be able to wear what they want,” Florencia said. “We have a dress code and the teachers enforce it. Kids have been sent home for wearing pajamas to school.” She admitted, though, that some of the boys “with their pants hanging down” well below their waistlines need to pull them up. “Nobody wants to see that,” she said. Jerome T. Dugas, 15, said he also feels the current dress code is enough. “If we had uniforms, everyone would look the same, and that's not cool,” he said. His friend, Hannah M. VonderHaff, 16, said, “I don't think that kids dress inappropriately. If they do, someone will tell them about it.” But Abigail M. Locher, 16, said she wouldn't care if she had to wear a uniform. “It will take less time to get ready,” she said. Meredith M. Patterson, 15, said she didn't think the staff could enforce the policy. “How would they make kids wear them? Kids don't follow the dress code now. To go from that to total enforcement, I think it would be too dramatic of a change,” she said. Science teachers Phillip J. Moore and Laura E. Bolick said last week they think a uniform policy is a good idea. “The uniforms they are proposing are benign,” Mr. Moore said. “They are not the classic Catholic school model. Personally, I think it would be a positive influence on the kids. It would take some of the distractions we see in the classroom away so the kids can focus on what we are really here to do — learn.” Ms. Bolick agreed that students would be able to focus more. “I think it is a good idea and could save parents money. But, it's not as bad as it used to be a few years ago when you had to tell them to zip it up and pull it up. The styles have changed.” While some school officials have expressed support of the idea, others say the district's dress code is sufficient. High school Principal Richard D. Masciarelli, for example, said he understands uniforms may remove distractions, but he doesn't feel a school uniform policy will bring about much change to the school's atmosphere. “We are trying to prepare students for college or post-secondary training beyond high school,” Mr. Masciarelli said. “That's our mission. Yet no colleges have that kind of policy. We should spend more time on dress codes without going to uniforms.” School Committee member Sally H. Cragin enthusiastically supports the idea of uniforms and points out that other districts, such as Springfield, have implemented the policy successfully. Springfield has 44 schools and its 26,000 students are all required to wear uniforms. Ms. Cavaan said the policy was well-received by a majority of parents and has worked out well. “It increases safety because everybody is dressing the same and there are no issues with colors and the affiliations with gangs they might represent,” she said. Studies show that gang recruitment is happening at younger ages, she noted, which was part of the reason the district adopted the policy. “The School Committee was cognizant of that when they took that vote,” she said. “We're not necessarily seeing it, but it was a proactive move.” The colors of uniforms vary by school, Ms. Cavaan said, but basically students are required to wear black, blue or beige bottoms and white, light blue and red tops. Skirts must be knee-length, and boys' pants must be pulled up with a belt. Each school has a fund available to help parents purchase uniforms, and some schools have a swap when the students outgrow them. “There's more concentration in the classroom because students are not focused on what people are wearing,” Ms. Cavaan said. “The teachers are also saying that they're looking at students in a different light and it has changed how they deal with and interact with them.” Ms. Labuski, the assistant principal at Jacob Hiatt in Worcester, said the school went through a two-year process before seeking state approval for a mandatory uniform policy that was initially driven by a former principal. The school is pre-K through Grade 6, and it draws students by choice, not by neighborhood. It is the only school in the Worcester system to adopt a mandatory policy. “We worked with parents and talked to students and told them they have a job to do. And when you have a job, you do it in the appropriate clothing,” Ms. Labuski said. “It requires tremendous cooperation on the parts of parents, and I think it would be much more difficult with the ages in the middle and high schools.” Melinda J. Boone, Worcester schools superintendent, said she does not see a district-wide uniform policy as a priority at this time. She has done extensive research on uniform policies in previous positions, she said, and studies show that a uniform policy alone will not sustain student achievement in the long term. In Fitchburg, school officials are still in the early stages of exploring the possibility of a uniform policy. Parent-teacher organizations have been asked to seek reactions from parents, and the high school's Student Council is surveying students. The School Committee will hold a meeting in the near future at which parents will be invited to offer their opinions. No date has been set for that meeting.

Jesus can't be dead if he was never alive in the first place! :buddy: Also note that the dudes with their pants bagging down in prison are the ones that get butt-fucked.

Misleading thread title of the century.

if you let your preteen child wear those sweatpants that say juicy on them then you're a bad fucking parent

If you need to write juicy or sexy, you're lying.

"Jesus is dead" Well thats one I haven't seen before.

I have trouble keeping my eyes off of sexy children too.

There is nothing wrong with wearing appropriate dress in school, this is a completely valid concern.

This kid in my math class had a shirt that said "God is Dead - John Proctor" it was quoting the Crucible play so it was a technicality that he could wear it. Then the other day he wore a shirt that says "Real men beat their meat, not women and children" and he got a detention for it :frown:

If I saw those shirts at the Mall I'd laugh but not in my English Class.

This reminds of when I was in highschool and they enforced wearing ID lanyards that students had to wear on them at all times. Of course, students rebelled and protested against the concept and made a huge stink over it. Was it really a big deal? No. This is the same case with wearing uniforms for school; It's not a big deal and there's really no valid argument against it.

[QUOTE=breakyourfac;20487103][release] “Jesus is Dead” [/release][/QUOTE] I know its fun to learn but you don't have to wear a shirt about it

Wait, isn't it pretty common knowledge that Jesus died?

Oh boy. So much wrong with this picture.

bawwww for them. my high school's dress code consists of solid color polos, non modified jeans, khakis, and no jackets indoors. it's a public school btw.

If those Christian kids have the right to wear shirts that say "Jesus lives", then I have the right to wear something that says the opposite. And also, they need to shut the fuck up about how it's a "distraction". If the kids can't focus because some chick looks skanky, then they need to be mature and focus their attention on their work.

I've never seen pants that say 'Jesus is dead'.. that's fucked up. Damn whores

[QUOTE=Upgrade123;20487665]If those Christian kids have the right to wear shirts that say "Jesus lives", then I have the right to wear something that says the opposite.their work.[/QUOTE] Good point. There's always people wearing stuff about Jesus and whatnot.

All of the ugly fat chicks wear those pants at my school. Then I feel gross for trying to read what it says on their ass.

[QUOTE=Xystus234;20487539]Oh boy. So much wrong with this picture.[/QUOTE] Like what? I wish the schools here required uniforms. Classy! [QUOTE=Zeke129;20487681]They also discourage individuality and sterilize creativity.[/QUOTE] I think they might help make people a little more community-minded, and in that way, I like that they "discourage individuality". Western society today places too much emphasis on being different -- kids are told endlessly in the name of "self-esteem" that they are SPECIAL and UNIQUE even when it's not particularly warranted and I think this is partly why everyone is such a narcissist.

Of course, that would be the [B]smart [/B]thing to do though.

I saw a shirt that said "Dear God why do you allow violence in schools?" "I'm not allowed in schools." That's a good attitude, God. Let teenagers die because a small minority there isn't worshiping you.

There was this one huge fatass black girl in my school who wore a shirt with outlines of hands drawn around her breasts.
