- Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on August 24, 2007
- Rating:
(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I think it is great that the school's policies got better. The kids need to know that they can't get away with wearing clothes that are not appropriate for school and also misbehaving. Although the students are not happy with this year's policies I know that they are for their own good.
