In Melbourne Australia, a students defiance of her government school community dress code is aggressively backed up by her parents...
She said she had been offering the Palmers free school-issue pants for the past month, but the family had "rejected them on principle".
Says it all really......
1. Some think the only way to explain their problems is in the desperate search for others to blame.
2. Some think that they can benefit from community resources while refusing to support community values.
Here's hoping that the state supports the right of school communities to set ANY requirements on student dress or behaviour that they see fit.
The future for state education lies in removing the straitjacket of government micro-management and allowing schools to run in ways that their local community actually want.
If Karla and her mother don't like the community rules, then they should find another school community.
