Too Many Belly Buttons or...Student Decorum: One Piece of the Puzzle!

Recently it seems that I have seen more boys' underwear in school than would be viewed on a leisure stroll through the clothing section of Fred Meyers during the holiday season. The propensity for some guys to hike their underwear up to their shoulders and wear their size 60 waistband pants low enough to trip has the potential to result in colorful, but "PG" rated, hallways. Please join your staff and me in promoting our boys' awareness of the difference between a waistline and a hip socket. I am going to work on getting it in the science core curriculum. In an effort to derail cries of gender bias, I will now turn my sights on the "fairer" of the two. Jeepers! I haven't seen this many navels since I walked through the maternity nursery of a large, metropolitan hospital. The midriff is "driffing" in the wrong direction. We are reminding our young ladies that Floyd Dryden is not the old Baywatch set. String straps, tank tops, short skirts, or any tops displaying midriff should be immediately shipped back to sunny California. Please join your staff and me in promoting our girls' awareness of the difference between Alaska and California. I am going to work on getting it in the geography core curriculum. Student decorum is not the star of school academic atmosphere, but it does play a strong supporting role. Hoods and hats are for keeping a head warm outside, not for peering out from during class! Does that mean hoods significantly impact the academic achievement of a middle school student? I don't think so, but it is a dissertation just waiting to be done! It's not like we are telling our kids that they can't wear bellbottoms to school. How come I wasn't allowed to wear bellbottoms to school in 1970, anyway? Was there a danger of floating away if they collected too much air when walking? I mean it's not like I was showing the fuzz in my bellybutton or wearing pants so low I walked like a three legged race contestant! Please join your staff and me as we continue to support bellbottoms and work to maintain our "G" rating at Floyd Dryden Middle School.
