People really are missing the point aren't they? lol

Not only will Tiff's lad ensure he sticks by the rules in future then so will all the other kids, they'll grow up knowing the rules and be used to sticking by them.

A small but valuable life lesson learnt today for Tiff's son I think! Also a lesson learnt for Tiff... There are two sides to every story... For all we know Tiff's kid might do this reguarly and this could be the last straw for the teacher?

Why not? That would seem like a very responsible thing to do... It would also show your son that regardless of what his dad thinks of the school's rules they are there for a reason.

I've said my piece now and I'm tired of flogging a dead horse

But thanks for your input on this Dick

Then "Timmy" go round and beat your ex then. it's her fault little "insert name here" had to remove his socks and put him in life threatening danger.

Seriously, if this is the worst thing that ever happens to him consider it OK.

I'm not the one saying removing his socks is tantamount to being raped!

Thats why the country is in the fucking state it is,too many people with no regard for disipline,respect or rules. Its not your fault as your ex wife is responsible for his dress code,but why did he phone you and not your ex??In my day,if the school had contacted my family about this,someone would have brought some black socks down to the school,could this not be done? I cannot believe that a schoolkid has a mobile phone either,with the known dangers but thats another issue.

it's the norm at my wifes school, and kids don't do it more than once because they get ridiculed by the other kids for not having shoes on

on the flip side, they aren't allowed to step on their feet either or else the stepee also get's their shoes removed

same for kicking, shoes off

and if they are too much of a pain in the arse they simply sit int he haedmasters anti chamber until school is over and their parents come to collect them, with the stern instructions to come to school the next day with proper uniform or the kid gets to spend all day sitting in the same chair again

then they get excluded

harsh but fair and not many times have they had an issue, rules is rules and if you don't follow them in school then what hope have you in the outside world?

taking the socks off and making him walk about in shoes that may chaff his feet though is a bit harsh, althoguh yousay that another kid lent him some socks so it's not as if it was terrible agony for him, in which case i could understand why you'd be fuming at ready to saturn 5 one into the teachers face

A bit harsh?! or is it?!....thinking about it nah Its not harsh.....I'm sure he'll know not to do it again - so lesson learned.

Bring back the belt I say.

Perhaps they should have called you asked you to come and collect him from School and bring him back to School wearing what they deem to be accceptable uniform!

He's well within his rights too. Here are some facts you need to know about your Son.

  • People who wear white socks are more likely to turn into a serial killer
  • Your Son wore the white socks as he was out to strangle someone, and knew that white cotton is stronger.
  • Your Son was never asked by the teacher and was taking his socks off, as he had some snooker balls in his pocket.
  • Your son wore white socks because they are less transparent, so therefore, there is less chance of the knife showing through.
  • Your Son is a racist, and he wore the white socks in order to offend everyone who wasn't white.
  • Your Son is a member of the KKK 'Kotten Knifed Klan'.

Maybe he can just keep wearing the white socks until they are dirty enough to be classed as black?

IMO the reaction Id have is dependant on a couple of things.

Age of your lad, which I may have missed in this thread?
Is he a repeat offender?

For instance, if he is only a young un and he is usually spot on with his uniform etc then Id hit the roof. Alternatively if hes a huffy teen who is always giving teachers aggro and is persistantly not following rules and the dress codes etc then it is deserved.

2 very different options but Im sure you get what I mean.

My 2p worth

Why not say that white socks are a part of his & your religion/beliefs and it offends you that he and the other kids have to wear black ones, then before you know it the school will have a policy of white socks ONLY

rules are rules, and should be adhered to.

but the punishment was out of order, i would contact the school and threaten to sue them for negligence with your sons health.claiming blisters and possible mental scaring due to unnecesary cruelty.

ok, another question for you:

does he own a pair of the correctly coloured socks the school requires him to wear while at school?

and will you be going to the school and making an appointment or will you be going to the school to make a scene?

all those going on about "missing the point" "rules are rules" etc etc are the ones missing the point !
School uniform is one thing that should be strictly adhered to in my opinion as it helps the school keep a good apearance, but what the fuck has the colour of some lads underwear got to do with it ? and what halfwitted no neck reptile came up with the no white socks rule in the first place ?
What next ? no boxer shorts ! brown y fronts only !

If I was told to take my socks off at school, I would have told the teacher EXACTLY what I fukin thought.

In society, a little discipline can go a long way.

Maybe Tiff should go in armed with a shotgun and kill all the teachers who dare to ENFORCE SCHOOL RULES.
agree with you Rich_w.

Parents are wrong for sending kid to school not dressed appropriately.
Parents are wrong for even having white socks in the hosue
School is correct for taking action against non compliance of rules.
Kid has learnt that next time his tasteless parents try to send him to school in white socks to object!
How much do you pay for this school OOC?

Slap is in order for the teacher!

dan
That sums it up in my opinion.

Why make the kid take the socks off? what will it actually achieve? He may have been incorrectly dressed but forcing him to wear no socks is even worse.

FPMSL at people moaning about how this is example of country gone mad. Get a life muppets


All depends, was he warned before? If not he should have had a warning that they are not school policy etc. Then if still continued then fair enough imo. Need to be strict on stuff as people start taking the mick etc.
