I remember High School having dress codes and even I wasn't compliant by semi-accident. They were thinking of uniforms, which I wasn't fully for, but if push came to shove, rather have uniforms than see breasts and bottom cracks.

The main issue is that parents are no longer parents. They are too busy paying for their ticky tacky boxes and buying stuff to fill them.They hardly see there children, let alone discipline them. I am appalled by what I here parents and adults saying about the current methods, and even more by the children. I tell them they got it easy. I was raised by my Oma, and she had rules that dare not be crossed, or there was severe consequences (mostly labor and removing privileges). I was to be up in time to eat a breakfast of oatmeal, or wheat cereal if I was being treated. I was to dress proper, meaning no rips, wrinkles, or stains. I went to school and had a half hour to come home, meaning I left immediately and came strait home. If I didn't, Oma called the school then the volunteer Police, which was somewhat good one time (knew something had happened to me). When I came home I had a half hour to have a snack. After-which homework until dinner was ready. Homework until 8:30P.M. bedtime. On Friday, no change until all the homework was done. If I was done early, I had time off. I wasn't allowed in the refrigerator and ice was verboten. I was to eat and drink everything. Even questioning rules was grounds for punishment as was sassing. I didn't get it at the time and was too strict, but now that I am older, realize it was no where near strict and was relaxed. I would use this for my children, God forbid I have them, plus few other rules (girls wear ankle length dresses and no unblocked internet, for example). Once they were mature, might let them have socialization after school, which I only had in High School.

If children grew up like this, there be no need for dress codes. Further, there be less cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder. One reason it wasn't noticed in the past was the village raised the children. Today, parents are too scared to do this and too busy.
