I bet you tan too much and have no grasp of grammar either...

Not really. It also prohibits creativity and individuality. Greatly. Thusly molding most of our youth into brainless worker drones to fit into the overall societal tapestry.

Okay but, where do you draw the line? That line between showcasing your individuality and distracting the class? The line has to be somewhere. Also, what else would you shield behind that moniker? What other rules, besides the dress code, stifle a student's creativity and individuality?

Like it or not, we live in a society of rules. Some we like, some we don't. Some we need, other we could probably do without. However, seeing as how all of us are different, we are ALWAYS going to clash over things like this. Some will want certain rules abolished, while instituting others, and vice versa. All of us will, at some point, be forced to follow at least a few rules we disagree with. The question this poses is this, which is easier, and more beneficial for the whole? Following the rule and moving on, or opposing it and fighting? Now obviously, some rules should be fought against. Other, are probably better left alone. For me, a school's dress code, is one to leave alone.

I'll say this, Texas is the closest I've come to living in a different country.

Oh, I'm not arguing with you. Just stating a fact.

Whether or not social institutions like school are justified in their suppression of individuality is pretty philosophical sociological question that would have to be a whole debate unto itself.

On one hand, if you didn't have a strict social order enforced at our social institutions, we wouldn't have a society, we'd have chaos. But on the other hand, pretty much every genius or influential person ever was a social periah - often existing on the edge of societal norms and mores.

Personally myself, I've always existed on the fringes of societal norms, and I revel in it. If a school told me I couldn't cut my hair a certain way or have a beard, I'd tell them to go **** themselves. But that's me.
