How did we get to a place where schools pull kids from class because their shirt is the "wrong cut"? This episode digs into the absurd world of dress code enforcement where teachers become fabric police and students miss learning time over sleeve lengths.

Our crew shares stories from the trenches about enforcing arbitrary rules, the psychological impact on students, and how these policies steal focus from actual education. From California's confusion to Tennessee's resistance, we explore why reform is desperately needed.

Key Takeaways:

• Dress codes often feel more arbitrary than educational
• These policies steal focus from actual learning goals
• Student psychological impact gets ignored for administrative convenience

Share your dress code stories and push for sensible policies that actually serve students. https://teachersunderground.com/
