Jumpsuit
A school in Texas has made national news because it will make students wear a “prison-like” jumpsuit if they break the dress code.
If the student comes to school breaking the dress code, he/she will have to wear the jumpsuit for the day. Here is the link: Link
Do you think it is causing the student too much embarrassment to have to wear the prison-like jumpsuit?

Nah, I work at a high school and they think its funny sometimes.
Lol, no. I think it’d be funny.
Haha, that would have been pretty fun if they had enforced that at my private high school.
Some girls get mad only because they are stopped from showing off their hot outfits
I hate most dress codes anyway, so it’s easy to know how I feel about this.
No, i think it will teach girls not to dress like whores.
Yes. I think it is appalling. I worked in a Christian School and if a student broke the dress code they dressed them up in a burlap sack. It was awful. Just call the parent, send the student home, confine the student to the office for the day, or FINE the parent money if the student breaks the rules. I do not believe in belittling the student.
preparing them for their future in jail I presume…
It isn’t necessarily an embarassment– it’s just FASHION HORROR!
Black polyester one-piece suit crap like that shouldn’t even be worn, whether you break the dress core or not.
Bonfire that material mess, please!
Because it burns my eyes.
If you want embarassment,
go with something bright.
No, make it neon.
And SPANDEX.
@leeleekicksass - It really doesnt teach them. I promise.It only makes them be more creative in ways to wear most of their clothes
I think that dress code can be mean and selfish sometimes. Some schools go overboard with the handbook rules.
If the school has that much of a problem with dress code offenders, they should institute a uniform.
definitely.. the things schools do these days.
weeelll I’ve gotten dress coded before
the jumpsuit isn’t that bad..
It’s not like a plastic bag
It could be worse people
Probably.
No. But it might be horribly uncomfortable, unsanitary, and more distracting than their original outfits.
@leeleekicksass - According to many dress codes, whorishness is not the only thing that will get you in trouble.
What’s so hard about adhering to a dress code? I never had any problems. Of course I went to schools that used uniforms. Easiest period, clotheswise, in my life. We never had to think about what we would wear, at least I didn’t. The only concession I made to teenage rebellion was rolling up my skirt, and that was partly because I was so thin I had to roll it up for it to fit right on my waist.
Back when I lived in Texas, every home had at least one of those in the closet. Kinda makes me nostalgic.
The tactic, in my opinion, is molestation of the student’s sense of self and dignity. Public mock, ridicule, and manipulation shouldn’t be the tools that a teacher has to weld for classroom compliance.
I think wearing that thing will become a badge of honor! ROFL
I think they should be more embarrassed that they broke the dress code.
Hahahaha.
Kind of looks like the Janitor’s uniform from Scrubs.
I’m having Scrubs withdrawals. Must. watch. Scrubs.
haha i think it’s funny but i’d rather die then wear that.
At least it’s not striped or bright orange. Or pink, like that outdoor jail in Arizona.
Nope they should make those in pinstripes…..I feel bad for the teachers who have to put up with some (not all) students who cannot follow simple dress codes and are distractions to the rest of the class….
Honestly, I don’t think this will solve any problems. In my school most kids would just call home and ask to leave, which their parents would listen to. Not to mention forcing students to wear stuff like that is embarrassing and seems a bit too much.
I would refuse anyway.
Kids need rules, and they also need to be reprimanded when rules are broken, anything less is a disservice to our kids. Us and them will pay later, if they do not learn now.
..:: dante
lol! that is the most funniest thing i’ve seen… good idea tho.
no it’d be cool… and hillarious.
I will have to say that jumpsuit is kinda hideous.
Honestly, if they’re coming to school in clothing that is too skimpy or otherwise inappropriate, you would think embarrassment would be the last thing on their minds anyway.
I think high school kids would enjoy wearing those. At my high school, kids who broke the dress code would have to wear these bright, neon colored shirts that can be seen from a mile away.
It’s a little bit embarrassed. Then again, I’m easily get embarrassed.
I’d have no problem with them all having to wear jumpsuits all the time in place of their current dress code.
Too many people are trying too hard to control the youths way of expression.. they cant see that they need to give the new generations some space.
Noodle head people..
I think students will enjoy it and actually dress more inappropriately so they can wear the jump suit. Or, they will buy their own and just wear that every day. It will become a fad.
No, infact I like this. ^-^
no but i’d hate to wear that. lol
No… but I do think its stupid…
Embarrassment over being forced to wear a jump-suit? Yeesh…so self conscious.
I think that is very amusing and absolutely insignificant, and if a high school student has a problem with that, the alternative should be to have sex with me instead.
if it’s me, i would totally pimp up that jumpsuit and make it hella cool. everyone will regret not breaking the rules. pair it with a Nike SB and i’m good to go.
They should definitely allow this in schools. There is too much going on in schools these days. Actually enforcing rules like this will get kids to respect the rules. I wish they had rule in my school. Then again compared to what we have to wear….that jumpsuit looks kinda good =P
I think, it’s unnecessary, for the students to be wearing the jumpsuit, just because they broke the dress code. There are way more important crimes then that.
@GhostBenjimon - Seems like sex is your solution to many a problem. You must lead a sexy life.
That is the definition of ” Ugly” and a wonderful incentive to follow the rules.
@mkenyon719 - You are awesome for pointing that out. It DOES look like Janitor’s uniform.
Whatever happened to detentions? Call the parents? I’d be pretty pissed off if I had to wear that. Plus, I can see trouble makers wearing it and being proud of breaking the rules.
yes !!!!n that would be torture
hahaha, actually, i can see a lot of the more catty students breaking dress code on purpose so they can feel like badasses
a school should be left to run the way it sees fit to run it.
i think if you broke the dress code, you should be privileged to wear the jumpsuit. the broader issue at hand is the view that the teenagers have towards authority. we have so sheltered them and given them special privileges that many of the teens do not respect the authority. i say spanking a disrespectful child should not invoke a lawsuit. nevertheless, a wearing of a hideous jumpsuit.
Nah, maybe it’ll help enforce the dress code. It seems like a particularly good solution for girls who are showing too much skin. Getting covered up in a jumpsuit might be a good deterent from wearing skimpy clothing. . .I’ve never heard of this before. It’s pretty funny, actually.
How about just obeying the dress code?…or would that be too hard for the little kiddies? We certainly wouldn’t want to hurt their little feelings.
I think is a good idea. they will be too scared to break the dress code.
I think there isn’t much discipline in american schools… this would be a good change
Ask my home educated kids, they’ll tell you that traditional schools are like prisons (and yes, they’ve both done time in local public or private schools). The jumpsuit seems appropriate.
I think it’s funny…and this is coming from someone who broke uniform violations on a REGULAR basis – so much so I ended up with detention. Keep in mind I had to wear a stupid Catholic schoolgirl uniform and got busted for my skirt being too short or blouse untucked, so it wasn’t like I wasn’t wearing it; I just wasn’t wearing it properly.
I do think that if I had to wear that jumpsuit, it may have pushed me to wear my uniform properly, instead of the “wrong” way.
You know, embarrassment is a good way to get kids to change their behavior. Truthfully I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of dress code violations doesn’t decrease just because the policy is instituted.
It’s not as bad as the awful gym t-shirts they’d make us wear if the straps to our tank tops weren’t 4 fingers thick (it’s not my fault I don’t have big man paws… 4 fingers is very subjective
)
I know people who would kill to wear that jumpsuit.
that’d be so embarassing to wear that hahaha
@kaitlyn_in_wonderland - i was just looking at this post and i scroll down and here you are! lol but can’t you imagine our school doing this? hahaha jk
It’s fucking awesome. That’s what it is.
I think it would work to embarrass them. Then they wouldn’t break the dress code. But it only works if they actually enforce the dress code.
If we break the dress code at my school they either send us home or make us change into a really big sweatshirt that says the school’s name on it.
My school doesn’t really have much of a dress code though.
@WomanOfLight - Lol, that made me grin.
. If I had to wear that, I would get ‘Janitor’ embroidered on it. In fact, I think I may try to break the rules so I could do that. Haha, jk.
Or…Dr. Jan Itor. That would be awesome.
Those skulls full of mush need discipline
It’s funny.
It’s also ridiculous.
I’d ditch the two middle classes of the day to alter it.
I think it would be better than being forced to wear old, disgusting, nasty looking clothes that were left in the lost in found and never claimed (for a good reason). They always had the ugliest clothes I had ever seen. I would gladly wear a jumpsuit if it meant I didn’t have to wear the lime green, pink and purple plaid shorts that were too tight and went to my knees and were from 20 years before I even started going to the high school.
That is what all our schools did… I actually got in trouble one year for dress code violation. My shorts were too short. I was in 6th grade. They made me wear these ugly ass shorts until my mom brought me new ones. Luckily for me she did because I didn’t want to wear the ugly ones all day.
A new dressy statement! Not a good statement but a strange one……..It will build character as my mother use to say!
If kids didn’t push the envelope the way they do, there would never have had to BE a dress code. For those that want to rebel, it serves them right to wear a jumpsuit. Will it fix the problem, I seriously doubt it. Teach them to respect themselves and others, then MAYBE you might get some results. MAKING them wear certain clothes will never work with these type kids.
Haha, I think that’s pretty funny…
But really, I wish my high school had enforced the dress code more, which wasn’t strict to begin with. But goodness sake, when a girl’s shirt is cut so low that I’m distracted, even as a heterosexual female, then I can’t imagine what the male population was thinking. Wear clothes to school.
Besides, I’d think that the jumpsuit is more practical and more comfortable than the traditional itchy sweater in the lost and found.
They really are trying quite hard to make those students drop out, aren’t they.
I think it’s ridiculous to have a dress code.
I think that it would encourage the guys I know to act up so they could wear a “Bad Boy” jumpsuit. They’d think it was funny…
The jumpsuit? What if everyone breaks it the same day?
hell no !
I think that’s great. Perhaps it will actually work, unlike other methods. Awesome.
No…they deserve it! That’s awesome!!!
@Lizard_Tongue - exactly what I was thinking
No, if anything kids these days are being coddled with excuses for their bad behavior and drugs to fix them. A little tough love wouldn’t kill them.
Haha, I think this is great. Half my school would be wearing jumpsuits.
I think it’s a great idea. When I was in school, if you violated the dress code you had to spend the day in ISS. So you missed all your classes for the rest of the day. The time I got caught violating it, I would have loved to have something to put on to cover up.
A dress code is nonsense. The suit idea is degrading.
Yes, I think so.
My school has a T-Shirt. If you break the dress to badly, you have to wear a bright yellow T-Shirt that says something about “I came to school dress inappropriately.” That isn’t exactly what it says, I can’t really remember it correctly.
EDIT: I just remembered, it’s if a girl comes to school with a shirt that is either showing of your stomach or showing of too much boobage area.
Haha I think it is funny to say that.
Nah, embarasing would be if they made them wear ridiculously oversized clothes or forced them to walk around in drooppy pants with their undershorts hanging out….
If it’s such a huge problem that they felt they had to go this route, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just go to a uniform.
teaches kids, though embarrassment, not to break the rules, i guess…
@WomanOfLight - Have you ever smoked crack? Good sex and smoking crack are remarkably similar, but sex is free (I hope) and lasts longer (I really hope).
@GhostBenjimon - Crack is a drug you faggot.
Yes.
When we had school assembly in secondary school which was once a week for each year group.
Some of the head tutors of each year group anyone who was not wearing the correct uniform had to stand up during the assembly or sometimes was given an after school detention.
The tutors especialy our form tutor use to clamp down, I can remember most of our form on the last day of term coming in without school uniform, it would have been funny if our tutor handed these out to the people in the form without the correct dress code.
No, I think it is a good punishment as it is actually related to the rules they broke.
It seems like a great idea to me. My highschool never enforced the dress code if you were one of the “popular” kids, anyway. I remember wearing a tank top to school, and while I was in the middle of the hallway, surrounded by other girls wearing tanktops (Georgia in summer, give us a break), I was the only one called out. Nevermind that I was the only girl wearing two tanktops in an effort to get more coverage.
I’m leaning toward no . . .
For the record, I’m homeschooled and NO, I don’t do school in my pajamas. We had to get dressed. I don’t remember getting punished though, because I never broke our “dress code.” Though making me wear a jumpsuit in front of my sisters wouldn’t be much of a punishment.
no. it would have been a badge of honor for me. the only thing that might have stopped me is the cooties factor. ewwwz. other people’s butt juices, bust musk, and other nasties would be all over it.
hahahaha awesome!!!!!!
It’d be more humorous than anything.
It’s better than the shirts our school had that were pink and said, ‘I love the principal.’ He no longer works for our district.
haha thats hilarious
if the student is made to wear the jumpsuit because they chose to
break the rule – in this case a dress code – then embarrassment is one
of the consequences of their choice. if the dress code were some secret
thing that no one knows what the rule is until they determine you’ve
broken it, that would be one thing. but it’s plainly stated. students
know what the code is when they choose to break it. and they should
suffer whatever that school district determines is the consequence of
that choice.
I think it’s pretty damn funny myself.
I think it works
I think embarrassment is the best form of punishment
Freaky, I saw this on the news last night.
what in the world? what a waste. at my school, they have old musty gym shirts that are left in locker rooms at the end of the year. dress-code breakers have to wear it and the offending piece of clothing is confiscated. that is also effective and foul, and we are reusing at the same time. yay live green.
Looks comfy, I probably would’ve fallen asleep much easier in class wearing that!
It’s no more embarassing than when school authorities make a student put their t-shirts on inside out when they have graphics or words on them that are against the school dress code. It’s no more embarassing than when school authorities make a student put on a pair of sweat pants or shorts and a t-shirt from gym class that may or may not fit when they break the school dress code. I find this jumpsuit thing quite inventive and should be adopted into every public school in the nation. But then again, I also believe every public school in this nation should have mandatory school uniforms.
guys at my high school who had the sagging pants without a belt were forced to pull them up and have a rope tied on as a belt for the remainder of the day. it worked – they would learn to wear a belt to school!
I think it’s actually a great idea!
Keeping a dress code is not freaking science. Kids will always push the limits when it comes to a dress code, so I see no problem w/them wearing the jump suit.
If they don’t like it, follow the dresscode! It’s not like their getting spanked in the principal office, geeze. Today’s youth are spoiled. Lol
Ha.
Nah. My school made you wear bright purple sweatpants or a XXL bright orange tshirt or both if you broke the dress code.
I teach high school. It does deter and change their way of dressing. They know that if they get to school they have to dress a certain way. Outside of school, they can dress however they want to. I have taught way too many Britney wannabes to know.
This story made http://detentionslip.org! Voted #1 for crazy headlines in education.
I think it is a great idea! It is much better than sending them home to change or calling their parents which just waists time and the kid misses class (what they probably wanted in the first place.) As long as the kids know this is the punishment it is their own fault if they are embarrassed by wearing the jumpsuit.
Gosh they always come up with the coolest shXt.
Embarassing? Only if the jumpsuit is ORANGE, DUH.
So I don’t think it’s that bad unless if it’s orange.It would suck to not wear cool clothes though.
