Class conformity - Should LAUSD go uniform?

Why is city council who can't even do their own job even discussing LAUSD? They have so many more pressing important issues then talking about this. Let LAUSD do their own work and city council start doing your job the one you are the highest paid in the nation for that you don't do.

Are they crazy? The first thing that would happen is they would find out the taxpayers would have to pay for the uniforms. If 70% of LAUSD cannot feed thier kids breakfast or lunch which the taxpayers are on the hook for, why could you expect them to be able to buy uniforms? Another handout by my hard earned dollars to give to the illegal invasion? There is no end in sight to the human sponges.what are they gonna come up with next that my tax dollars can help pay for?

Was thinking the same thing.

USC studies show that Uniforms make a difference in schools.

Make the teachers and staff wear uniforms, just like a business. We call them suits and slacks, etc. No more teachers looking like their students; so they can be "cool". That might bring some professionalism to the classroom and school sites. Break up LAUSD!!! Vouchers!!! Outlaw UTLA & CTA!!!

Agreed.

Teachers should dress 'professionally',
men in jackets and ties,
and women in skirts.

When the teachers look like they just got off the couch
(which some undoubtedly have)
it's difficult to take them seriously.

Cut the BS! This is a public school, therefore you must deal with the public and whatever they wear. Uni's are nothing but a waste of time and money. I wore one for 3 years and yes, I always knew who was rich or poor before the person opened their mouths. The uniforms told me. Not everyone can afford the same quality or quantity of uniforms. At least with regular clothes nobody knew if I didn't wear a trend because I didn't want to or because I couldn't.

I wish for once somebody would actually produce this study. I want to read this BS for myself. Cough it up!

Dig up Joe McCarthy, zap him back to life, and by God we'll whip this country into shape.

By the way, as a teacher, I'm with ya on the dress code for teachers thing. All the district has to do is make it a priority at the negotiating table.

YES,YES, YES!!!

Do you always have such a hard time making sense?

All you have to do is start wearing the professional wear and not wait until the district asks for it. Just the angle I've come to expect from LAUSD/UTLA members. Your motto: We won't do a damn thing to improve anything until we are forced to do it; no matter how much sense it makes! Break up UTLA & CTA! Vouchers!!!

Agree with all your points. Excellent point about teachers and uniforms. Some teachers look like complete slobs in stuff like t-shirts, shorts and sandals. They can set a better example for kids.

I always advocate a complete ban of all labor unions, especially in government jobs. The public education system is a disaster. It needs wholesale restructuring, especially in ways that make teachers and all school staff (janitors, admins, etc) accountable for their work.

While we are at it lets also ban the Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable. among others. Make it absolutely impossible for business to organize against the citizens of this country or for them to organize to affect legislation.
Unions were organized as a counter weight to the power of large industrial and financial concerns. If we are going to talk disarmament, it must be mutual to be effective. Business already has everything their way in this country. And before you say it BM, no I do not trust business, I'v been lied to and cheated by people in business suites too many times.

A monkey could dress in silk. It is still a monkey.

The worst criminals this country has ever seen dressed in thousand dollar suites, ate in fine restaurants and had advanced degrees from the best universities. The so-called "best and brightest" of the financial industry have inflicted more damage to this country, and caused more personal suffering, than any military adversary or street gang has ever managed to inflict. These people are truely our enemies.

As I recall my art studies, some of the worlds famous portraits and statues must be missing something then!

Ah, there's our Marxist protector of the government elite -- Philis! Here he is defending the bloated bureaucracy and criticizing the businesses that employ the VAST majority of Americans. Philis doesn't trust business ... but he blindly trusts all government bureaucracy as he and others have their hands in our wallets and their eyes in our bedrooms and bodies. Philis wants a nanny in the form of a Nanny State government and his government labor union. Philis can't stand on his own two feet.

But, as usual, Philis is wordy but wrong. Sorry, Philis, what happens in the private sector is none of your business; although I know you that Stalinist tendancies can't accept that. On the other hand, what goes on in government is everyone's business -- that includes greedy government employees (like you) holding our government and jobs hostage to your greed with your labor unions.

Don't you feel contradictory when you advocate so much blind trust in government for us peon taxpayers ... and yet you have so little trust in the government that you don't think it will treat you fairly in its employment? If you don't feel like a hypocrite, you should.

No Uniforms! It will hinder the natuaral thinning of the hispanic herd of gang members, where are the environmentalist of California when you need 'em?
