Allowing Students to wear casual clothes to school?
Nellio replied to weicong96's topic in Mako Reactor
In the area where I grew up there were two highschools, the public one and the Catholic one. I consequently went to the Catholic one - in which we were required to wear uniforms. They were simple, plaid skirts, grey pants, white dress shirts/school golf shirts/sweatshirts/cardigans. Oh, and stupid black shoes. Our skirts were blue, so it wasn't awful to look at persay. Later on in highschool I moved out of the city and went to a larger public school, they had no real dress code to speak of. So I've experienced both. My opinion on uniforms; PROS: No 'deciding what to wear' so I saved some time. There was really only one time a year you had to buy new school clothes instead of shopping every couple of weeks for trendy clothes. Gave the school a more, 'professional' feel. You could easily recognize who was a student, and who wasn't. CONS: Uniform needed to be ironed daily, and if you couldn't afford to buy a few of them with the hefty price tag, you were stuck rewashing every night. The kilts were really long when you bought 'em, so you had to get them hemmed...more $$$. (Kilts were $70 a piece.) Didn't fix the indecency problem, girls still wore shirts with boobs falling out, skirts with panties showing...boys wore inappropriate shirts underneath their white dress shirts/golf shirts...could be seen through. If you were missing even a PART of the uniform, you got sent home. No real originality besides hair styles and socks. Kids were still teased for the way they dressed, so it didn't solve THAT issue either. My opinion on NO uniforms; PROS: More individuality, everyone shows their own style. You're free to wear what you please, if you felt like wearing jeans and a t-shirt it was okay. In the winter you didn't have to worry about changing when you got to school. (Girls wore kilts...a little cold to wear kilts in the winter.) CONS: Inappropriate clothing runs rampant, too short, too sexy, too skimpy, too vulgar. (I admit, I had a skanky skirt or two back in the day!) Some kids couldn't afford 'nice' clothing, they were teased and looked down upon. I found I spent a lot more money on clothing when I went to public school... had to keep up appearances! So anyway really....uniforms didn't really change much for me. Kids are still teased, they still do inappropriate things...clothing didn't seem to dictate behavior. -

Okay, here's a little something that has been on my mind for a few days now. It happens to be one of my pet peeves when companies change a product that was perfectly FINE before they did. Here's a quick list of things I can think of off the top of my head: Tylenol Cold (Nighttime) - Okay, I had to buy some because I've been pretty sick the past few days, and they've come up with this stupid idea to make the pills have a 'cool burst' action. Basically, they are coated in some minty crap. It's like swallowing a piece of round minty medical gum without chewing it, of course I have acid reflux so taking these makes me uber sick to my stomach. Darker Than Black (Second Season) - This isn't exactly a purchaseable product but WHY DID THEY COMPLETELY CHANGE THE MAIN CHARACTER WHEN HE WAS FINE? Ah well, moving on. Heinz Ketchup (The big 'no-mess' squeezey bottles) - Yep, I hate these bottles. Not that I'm looking for glass bottles or anything, but these newer bottles require a lot more pressure and I often wind up squeezing out way more than I need. Not to mention whenever my kids use it, it turns into a huge mess! I'll add more as I think of them, but for now, I'd like to see what other people think of their favorite products!

From childhood, my favorite color has always been a darker shade of red. It's a color that always looked good on me, and represented so many things, love, passion, and so on.

Code Geass Anime & Manga Discussion [Spoilers]
Nellio replied to † shinji's topic in Completed Anime
Yeah, I've read the same thing, and deduced a similar ending. Although at the end of the series it is not POSITIVE that the character driving the cart is Lelouche. I personally DO believe that he lives on in some manner or another...either through the immortality of the code or by living in 'C's World' as she so eloquently puts it when she is saying goodbye to Mao earlier in season 1. Did that even make sense? My brain scrambles thoughts sometimes and I have a hard time telling if my ideas are actually getting across. Okay I can't get the stupid quote thing to work but you get it. -
