Indianapolis Public Schools Suspend 100+ Students

Author: Jason Bean, Category: Education, Elementary, High Schools, News

One of the biggest changes for this school year was that IPS schools have enforced a dress code.

Some parents and students say Tech High School administrators went overboard yesterday when they suspended more than 100 students for violating the new Indianapolis Public Schools dress code. Parents today will be asked to sign a form saying they are responsible for what their kids wear to school or the children cannot come back. School administrators say parents and students had plenty of time to get the uniforms.

I’m sorry, I just don’t understand the problems here. Both of my kids attend schools where a basic uniform is required. It’s not much, but I just see so many benefits and advantages of having a uniform. For our family, it eliminates the “what am I going to wear today” down to “What color shirt do you want to wear today? Do you want to wear pants or shorts?”

That’s just so much easier.

What do you think?
