High School Open House

My daughter started high school this week (eek!) so I had the pleasure of attending the orientation night. Sigh. When the principal described the 'numerous ringing cell phones' in his desk that he confiscates on a daily basis, it made me want to get him a bucket of water. That will shut them up. The cell phones and the chatterbox teenagers!

Another thing I learned is that there is a 'no shoulder' policy starting this year. It used to be a 'Two finger' (which quickly evolved into a 'three finger' ) policy, which meant if your three middle fingers fit on the strap of your tank top, it was ok.

Now it's not ok. Apparently some promiscuously-dressed upperclassmen forced the school to institute the new 'no shoulders' policy. This is a bummer, because my daughter had a bunch of adorable tank-style (long! loose-fitting!) shirts that she can't wear now. One rotten apple spoils the whole bunch.

Can anyone say Constitutional First Amendment right to Freedom of Expression?

Wonder what's next. Flip-flops? (a no-toes policy??)
