I think some codes are reasonable, mainly those that promote hygiene, which kids are notoriously bad at.
There is no helping children’s hygiene except through education, rules won’t do shit
Rules are an enforcement method instilling education of the consequences of not following the rules.
can you give me some examples of that? I've never seen a policy that your clothes had to be clean but maybe that's because I never went to look for that sort of thing
It's not school rule. It's parenting rule to provide your kid with clean clothes as much as you can, or at least, it should be.
I've never heard of it and didn't realize it was necessary. dark if true
why?
Did your parents never tell you to keep your clothes clean for school? That's just normal parenting, how's that dark?
it's dark to think that some kids go to school wearing dirty clothes and so there's a policy against it
holy shit lemmy is stupid
Well it was not clear what you were referring to. The comment you replied was talking about the rules, not the kids wearing dirty clothes.
Since when Lemmy got full of pretentious twats that label everyone stupid for having a misunderstanding that is clearly their fault?
because probably it was not bad enough for them to enforce it. But there is always that one kid...
