[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 726300, member: 1233"] Why does the school not have some old, not pretty, but clean unisex shirts from a charity bin for the kids who violate the dress code. Before we go to that solution, how do they apply this dress code? Is it only the kids who regularly get into trouble who get dress code violations? Or do the so called "good" kids also get dress code violations? I am willing to bet it is the former. This is the way it is in most schools. For heaven's sake, if a child has a shirt with an offensive saying on it, make them turn the shirt inside out and wear it that way. There are a million ways to solve this that do not involve yelling at parents. Why is this principal not intelligent or creative enough to find some of these solutions and use them instead of behaving unprofessionally with parents? Maybe you should brainstorm a list and give it to her. Tell her that you cannot help what your daughter changes into after she leaves the house. These are things the school can do rather than just yell at parents, which is rather useless. They probably won't like it if you do that though. As for the drugs and other issues with your daughter, I would go down to the City or County Courthouse and ask the Court Clerk about a CHINS Petition. This is a Child In Need of Supervision petition. It asks the court to find your daughter to need to supervision of a probation officer, someone to set rules and limits for her. Chances are your daughter will scoff at it and ignore the rules. It will largely be up to you to report her for breaking the rules. She will be angry with you for this. Probably VERY angry.
