A 9th grade girl who has been coming into my guitar store for about 2 years said today that she has been suspended twice for dress code violations. She said that her pyramid spikes are worn by several other students but i am sure these kids are a little more hot topic looking clean cut where this girl is a real punk the main problemis patches and holes in clothes blah blah etc etc
It's basically a Degrassi Jr High episode The gir'ls mom doesn't support her
WHAT DO I DO
Do i just tell her to report the school ( High Point High School ) to the ACLU?
Advice please

Kids have very limited rights to freedom of dress in schools, but fair application of the standards probably applies.

They were like 16 and getting really drunk and acting like superstars, totally ignoring people who said hi to them. I always thought that was funny.

sonny you should talk to john robinson about this. he is a teacher and should have a good idea as to what is okay/what is not okay. he taught in md before so he should be able to help. let me know if you want me to send you his email address.
