    My middle school required all shirts to be tucked in and they meant ALL SHIRTS. They went around making kids tuck in sweatshirts. It was dumb. And also racist because it was the 90s and the rule was made in response to baggy clothing being popular especially amongst black kids, so they considered large untucked shirts to be gang related.

      On the flipside of that, I’m a teacher and my first school had that rule. The principal came to evaluate Me and I thought the class went great, everyone participated, they were well behaved, everyone on task. Etc. NOPE. WRONG. During the debrief from my evaluation I was correct on all those things, all the things I mentioned went well BUT a student had the back of their shirt untucked. 👕

      I was not renewed because “failure to enforce the school rules” fuck that school. Got a new job where not everyone is an idiot 🙃
