Is it bad that I agree with this?

I agree with a lot of what Alex said. My daughters school has some lamo progam called the "Pillars of Citizenship". You're supposed to give other kids little pieces of paper when they do somethig that exemplifies one of the "pillars". And every week someone from each class (and of course each kid gets a turn) gets voted citizen of the week or something like that. Lame.

On the other hand there are gradeschool and jr. high kids who are committing suicide because they are teased so badly.

And yes a ton of it is the parents. I've stopped mine from going out the door in certain things she wanted to wear that wern't appropriate for school, just this morning in fact. But I see tons of other kids every day wearing short short skirts, platform sandals and belly shirts. And wearing make up. In short streetwalking regalia. When we were in school they'd send you home. Now the parents would throw a hissy making it very difficult for administrators and teachers to enforece the rules.
