This is all copied DIRECTLY from the LISD booklet. Any spelling, grammatical, or punctuation errors are entirely their fault. It is also probably all copyrighted, but this is for information purposes only. ################################################################################ {} (9) Violating the following dress and grooming policy: The District's dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, instill dicipline, prevent disruption, avoid safety hazards, and teach respect for authority.

A student whose clothing violates the dress code shall be assigned to in-school suspension either for the remainder of the day or until a parent or designee brings an acceptable change of clothing to the school. Repeated offenses may result in more serious action. Appropriate discipline procedures shall be followed in all cases. The principal, in cooperation with the sponsor, coach, or other person in charge of an extracurricular activity, may regulate the dress and grooming of students who participate in the activity. Students who violate these standards may be removed or excluded from the activity for a period determined by the principal or sponsor and may be subject to other disciplinary action. This policy shall be reviewed annually. {Last Reviewed, 1989. -Lobo} {} ################################################################################ As you can see, this policy is rather fascist, but hey, we all know that school is fascist. Here's an article I wrote for the newspaper we had to make in computer class for desktop publishing (which was quite hard for some people in the class to grasp) last year: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biology Students Take "End of Course Exam" {classy title, eh?} The title says it all. On May 18, 1994, all biology students in the state of Texas took the "End of Course Exam". Though it did not count this year (as far as the state was concerned, it was a practice test), most teachers either took a grade on it or counted it as the course final (which my teacher did). Next year's students will have to pass the test or they will not receive credit for the course, regardless of how well they did throughout the year. This exam, though extremely easy, is another example of how the state is trying to take control of individual school districts and how they grade their students. The Texas Education Agency has plans to implement similar examinations in all higher science (biology, chemistry, and physics) and higher math (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus) courses. If this happens, many good students who "freeze-up" on tests or do not test well for some other reason will have to repeat many courses. This would be bad {original phrase before fascist computer teacher lady made me change it was 'This would suck...'} because these students could not move on to the next level in science or math, even if they passed the course. Preliminary plans have also been made to require similar testing in all courses if the science and math exams have good results. Testing is becoming even more of an inherent part of school, and we at the Pig's Paper are more than a little bit skeptical of this. {The Pig's Paper was the name of the newspaper. There was a big picture of a pig on the front. It was neat.} ################################################################################ There's just another example of how school is fascist, though this time it's actually not LISD's fault. What a surprise! Fascism at the state level? Who comes up with these things? {The amount of sarcasm in the last three sentences is roughly equivalent to the amount of oil the Exxon Valdez spilled in Alaska. That's just an estimate.} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, we here at GwD are always looking for more evidence of ANY school's fascism/corruption/poor taste/uncleanliness/etc. If you have an interesting tidbit about school, why not e-mail (me) Lobo? I can be reached on almost any bbs in 806.
