To pull up or Not to pull up

First of all i would say that this a stupid opinion for the Senate to be addressing. Let's not worry about the war in iraq or how we close to a recession. Let's care for drugs in sports and sagging pants. How can we worry about insignificant things when clearly there are more important issues on the agenda. Lets say that this lawgets passed. How are they going to police sagging pants? Is there going to be a police officers everyday in schools all day long just so they can look out for sagging pants. Will they fine minors less then they would other 18+ years old just because there younger? What about outside the schools. Are there going to be cops at malls, shopping centers, movie theaters, restuarants, etc... The only place that this law should take affect if it gets passed in schools. Because businesses and other types of jobs should regulate themselves. What other profession is at there that you can where whatever you want. If you work at Publix you know you have to wear docker style pants, a Publix polo, and some type of apron depending on your specific depatrment. The only reason i can think off why this law should take place in schools because it could take away someone's else right to learn. The only way you lose your rights is if you infringe yourself against someone else's rights.

As for uniforms in schools making it a better learning enviroment-that a big bag of B.S. I went to Florida Christian School all my life and thats not because they had uniforms. Once i got to the age where i can take responcibility for my actions around 6th grade that is where all the problems startes with my classmates. We had all types of uniform rules. Tuck in the shirt, wear a belt, has to be a regulated FCS shirt and pants from AAuniform. I broke the rules hundreds of times. Boys would buy a size bigger so the uniform would be loose and the girls would buy a size smaller so the uniform would be tight. Kids would always get a talking to if there clothes didnot it right. Kids did not care because most of them had some type or clothing issue. At some point it was cool to show off your underwear. I remember in 10th grade me and my friens alex would always make fun bets of what color or pattern this one's girl underwear was.
All in all i think this i a stupid proposal and people instinctivily know where they can and where they can't have sagging pants.

messed up !

I went to a private school all my life so i dont know much about the FCAT or other standarized test, but i did have to do one. I had to do the Standard Achievement Test from about 5k-11th grade. It is similar to other standarized test but without the consequences or rewards. I like the fact of standarized test, but it should be standard. Meaning their should be one test per grade that the individual state comes up with. Maybe the NCLB law should be a state law and not a national law.
It is stupid to try to compare the grades of kids from the grades of kids before them. Each years results should have the improvement of the child's learning with an average of each subjects score to see what their stronger and weaker subjets are. Kids dont learn the same things every year so why should they be compared.Also if a school gets a bad score on a standarized test they should not be punished. Kids need to learn, but how can they with less resources every year if they happen to fail. What can we expect these kids to become in their adulthood. If we give up on them now,they will give up on us later.
What is up with those incompletes? It is not the nations responcibility to come up with a grading scale. It is the parents responcibility to encourage the kid in school. With an incomplete parents cant tell how much help their child needs. Do they have a C and need a little help or do they have an F and need a lot of help.
