School dress code

The District’s dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, instill discipline, prevent disruption, avoid safety hazards, and teach respect for authority. At least that's what they say. It does not work though. I went to school here, class of 2014 first class to spend all 4 years in the new building. In my time Red Oak HS made it on TV twice because we had high incidence of physical altercations as well the very first day of opening so many kids got in trouble for minor dress code infractions that half the school ended up in ISS (in school suspension) and instead of being in class learning sat in the cafeteria.
