Around here we check backpacks.  And god help her if she did that because I guarantee wearing a garbage bag would be the LEAST of her worries.

But whose to say these girls didnt havent their uniforms on when they left. I know when I was in school, if i wanted to wear something my parents wouldnt approve of, I'd stick it in my backpack then change as soon as I was away from the house.

Beats me.  If we don�t like what Brianna is wearing she goes back in and changes.

But no one has seemed to  pick up on what I would consider a MAJOR question. These girls were in 6th grade....how did they get out the front door not dressed in their uniforms? Where were the parents while they were leaving for school??? Seems to me, the kids weren't the only  one's at fault here...

I don�t really see what it hurt, they learned their lesson and no one was injured.  Next time they will wear the clothes they are assigned.

I used to vehemently oppose uniforms in the public schools.  I�m not quite as opposed as I used to be!  But then again I used to be a democrat, but took the medicine and recovered.

I think that uniforms should be implemented in schools that have diverse
racial mixtures to avoid the clicks and gang type behavior. I think it would
send a positive message to the students that they are all there to learn
there lessons and not to hate one another. JMO.

UMM, IMO:  The girls knew they were not to wear the jeans but the punishment seems a little different.  All I can say is I bet they won't do it again.  I have mixed emotions about the uniforms.  I believe kids need there individuality but on the same token if all the children are dressed the same you take the "they have better clothes" and the there family is better off than others families.  That does eliminate the lesser childrens feeling of self loss by not having designer clothes, etc.  You know it does happen, the feeling of not being as good because of the clothes you have, however trivial it might be.

School Makes Girls Wear Trash Bag Skirts

<image.tiff>





NEW YORK - Two Bronx girls reportedly had to wear skirts made of trash bags to class as a punishment for coming to school in jeans rather than their uniforms.

 


The sixth-graders at the Bronx Preparatory Charter School were made to wear the bags by principal Marina Bernard Damiba, the Daily News reported Friday.



Damiba called the garbage-bag skirts "Damiba fashions" and said they weren't meant to be humiliating.



"It was more of a fun way to say, 'Listen, guys, wear the uniforms,'" she told the News. "Let's not dwell on something as simple as wearing the uniforms when we have a lot of business to take care of. We have a lot of learning to get done."



Joy Vasquez, whose daughter, 12-year-old Christina Zuniga, was one of the girls who wore the skirts, at first said the punishment was "really wrong," the News said.



But after meeting with Damiba, she told the News that her daughter "got a lesson out of it."



Students at the school are required to wear a polo shirt with the school's logo and khaki, black, gray or navy blue pants or skirts that are at least knee-length.
