Summary
Parents in Middlesbrough have been asked not to drop off or pick up their children in pajamas or other bedwear. Prior to the measure, many parents showed up at school not wearing “decent” clothing. Many parents agree with the new rule, because they feel that showing up in your PJs will set a bad example for children and because it will set your child up for ridicule by the other children. Since the measure has been adopted by all the schools in the area, more and more parents are coming to school properly dressed.
Reaction
I think it is absolutely ridiculous that schools are imposing a dress code on parents. Parents dropping off their children in clothes that they feel comfortable in doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to me. While it may be true that children might be teased if their parents show up in pajamas, it is dimply absurd that schools are telling parents what and what not to wear. The parents who fully support the measure seem to have finally found a way to meddle with other people’s way of life. While wearing pajamas when bring your kids to school might not be the most tasteful thing to do, I think the schools are far out of line by introducing this rule.
