4. They're pretty simple. Khakis, long or short.
White or navy shirt.
No rule about footwear I think.

2. I don't know about now.
They didn't when I was a kid.

And they didn't when I taught.

And I'm damn thankful for it.

5. Just starting this year.
And the youngest is a senior.

So this is a bit annoying.

6. We don't. The only schools in Arkansas that do
are the private schools like Pulaski Academy and Episcopal Collegiate.

7. No, but I'm all for them.
I really think if the kids were dressed properly, they would have better behavior. We have kids coming to school in ugly tee-shirts, flip-flops, low-cut tank tops, short shorts.... you name it. Yes, we have a dress code and we do enforce it, but the students are always trying to get away with what they can get away with. Plus, some parents must have no idea what their children wear to school!
