Easy question….or is it?
What should age-appropriate children be taught? Informed consent or how to dress?

Why not teach them everything and not be selective in what they learn, teach them the facts, and truth.Easy question….or is it?

Because that is not the question, and is often not the case in schools but for now we will continue with because that is not the question until the poll closes.Why not teach them everything and not be selective in what they learn, teach them the facts, and truth.
Totally agree; especially with school uniforms being required for ALL schools. Kids are in school to learn; it's not a fashion contest. I come from a public school background and with no uniforms it was easy to tell who had money and who didn't. Why uniforms are not mandatory, I will never know. Uniforms erase social class distinction.i understand the intent of this post, hence my vote for informed consent.
it should be noted that kids should be taught how to dress. I’m a big supporter of uniforms for ALL schools regardless of “economic discrimination” arguments that can be had by those waking around with a $1200 iPhone in their pocket.
kids apparently need to be educated on appropriate work attire, what “professional appearance” means, and proper use of job-specific protective clothing.
I’ve seen these kids walk onto the construction site to interview for a job and don’t own ANYTHING. you hire them and tell them they need steel toes, hard hat, etc and they show up in shorts and running shoes.
maybe today’s youth is just too stupid, a product of THEIR parents being told their winner’s no matter what.
Did productivity improve or were Fridays still worse because they were the day before the weekend?Totally agree; especially with school uniforms being required for ALL schools.

Secondly, dress, to a degree, will dictate behaviour. Years ago, I worked in an office that had casual Fridays. Monday to Thursdays we had to wear business attire -- collared shirt, blazer, tie, etc. -- but on Fridays you could come to work dressed in jeans or shorts. When they ran audits, Fridays were shown to be the poorest day for productivity.
This was no shock, either -- there was always more horsing around in the office on Fridays.
This went on for about a year until management said no more casual Fridays. Smart move.
I don't recall if productivity improved after they got rid of casual Fridays. I didn't stay with that company for much longer after that. But compared to productivity before they brought casual Fridays in, yes, there was better output before casual Fridays came into being. That's why they decided to get rid of them.Did productivity improve or were Fridays still worse because they were the day before the weekend?
A Catholic student told me most dress have some emblem you can buy for your skirt. The crest /emblem range in price 100--300 for you to sew on the skirt. Discrimination and fashion contest. SO no better.Totally agree; especially with school uniforms being required for ALL schools. Kids are in school to learn; it's not a fashion contest.

But could they have improved output by simply focusing on the problem behaviour itself? They could even have told people that if they want to keep casual Fridays in place then output needed to improve- maybe they could have doubled output?I don't recall if productivity improved after they got rid of casual Fridays.

Yes, is it the clothes or the persons behaviour? Which one should be addressed to have the desired outcome?But could they have improved output by simply focusing on the problem behaviour itself?
