If it was not communicated to the students before the beggining of the school year, I would give them a warning. Other types of punishment should be used before sending the kids home.Winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, and give more than anyone else - Vince LombardiComment

Mi ex-principal would simply say "Next time I see you hear looking like this I am going to all the police" He would embarrass the hell outa them, and go make them pick up some Orange juice boxes or stones or something to make them stand out.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth.

I Agree With You, MdmeX!
Apologists some of us on this board are, right? (I’m definitely NOT referring to you MdmeX, because I agree 100 percent with your stance in this matter!Originally posted by MdmeX View Post

Firm decision makers such as the school board’s chairman Neville Williams and others at Steer Town Academy have my full support in their uncompromising stance on the sh!t that is obviously gearing up to get rampant in their new school, and more so that has overtaken our country today! Now, if only those weak hearted bastards who have been charged with running our country would make similar harsh but necessary decisions!
You see, we like to make excuses when firm discipline is applied, and we, having much spare time on our hands, like to come up with pathetic suggestions and excuses that in the long run do nothing more than subtly reinforce the existing challenge to authority by Jamaicans young and old!
We need to start adopting the habit of making the hard, necessary choices in a country overrun left, right and center by slackness!

So what you saying? the parents are the problem? Maybe a them shoulda go a jail then.
We make the basic things too hard, no wonder we can't get no better. Everyday my 6 and 5 years old get home work. I have to work with them. If the parents nah put in that work we are DOOMED.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth.

Very true. I look at students at my old school wearing RED ties when the school colour is maroon....back in my day...and no I can't identify HL's fossils - it couldn't happen. If you have to wear brown shoes, brown shoes it is - UNLESS you have a letter from your parent etc etc. In fact, that is why our schools have UNIFORMS. Otherwise let's just wear street clothes like the US.
Like the man said - if you can't obey the BASIC rule of school uniform, then you have a license for everything....Comment

The first reaction from educators should not be to immediately suspend a student from school. See report below on the suspension epidemic of minority kids in the USA.
Minority students across America face harsher discipline, have less access to rigorous high school curricula, and are more often taught by lower-paid and less experienced teachers, according to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

They were not suspended.
All of them know the school rules and the dress codes; their parents/guardians are also at fault.“Life is a system of half-truths and lies, opportunistic, convenient evasion.”

I agree hundred percent. I stand with the principal and school board. First of all the rules were written and sent to parents and students. If fails to obey the rules it will carry over into learning. Math and science is all about rules and following them. The same can be said of the English grammar. In today's rapid growth of technology can you imagine what will happen to a worker who lacks discipline on the production floor? What if Ja's PM secured a contract from Nissan to open an assembly plant on the island? You have workers who think they can do things their way and not follow rules? Consequences would be dire for all. I hope this school gets full support to continue in what they are doing.Comment
