Yes there is a time of the mth girls need their purses, I have 2 at that age right now. As far as having a purse in school, it can only be in their locker. Same for backpacks and the likes. Afraid they might carry something to class that shouldn't be there I guess.
Oh they can't have jackets on in class either. What a crock of shit, it does get cold in the old school buildings in the winter. |

Always pads can usually fit in a pocket. Some schools around here were going to clear backpacks. Glad I have no more kids in the school system.

This has been going on for a while in some schools. I went to a... um... troublesome highschool, and we weren't allowed to carry backpacks or purses at all unless they were see-through. We couldn't even keep them in our lockers. It didn't help with the maxi-pad dillema, of course. This was also the beginning of the assinine "no-tolerance" policy, which would be better titled "no-common sense".

I was just thinking, this is a privacy issue for girls at that age. If it was me, I would call the school and ask them about this. Explain to them how it is a necessity for girls to carry purses for that time frame. Ask what they would suggest to protect the privacy and save embaressment for these girls.
Just a thought. |

Yeah,my sons school had that NO TOLERANCE policy and some really stupid rules. I was never so glad when he graduated this June. I had really had my fill and so had my son. It is really amazing the stuff they are coming up with.

I haven't heard of this type of thing at the schools around here; they can still carry backpacks - but not to class. Now that I think about it, both the high school and middle school have female principals. Probably a bunch of men came up with the rules at your child's school. They probably haven't even thought about this concern. Maybe you should mention it to them. As far as I am concerned either the girls should be permitted to carry or the school should furnish feminine products in the bathrooms.

That is very unfair to the female students. Are the students allowed to wear baggy pants? If so, they should be banned as well (a lot can be hidden in baggy pants). Instead of the no purse rule, there should be metal detectors for safety. Of course those steel tampons could pose a problem in metal detectors as well.

How are people supposed to go from the structure of a HS to the real world? If you ask kids to make decisions, they will often make the right ones. If you do not ask them to, they will make the wrong ones.

The usefulness of HS....not much. It keeps them in "daycare" till they are old enough to move out, then back in, then out again,

 Seriously, whenever someone asking me about homeschooling asks me about socialization, I say, "EXACTLY! That's why we don't send them to public school!"

Forget diamonds; as far as I'm concerned, tampons are a girl's best friend. Playtex gentle glide, baby! Ya can't even feel them! |
