Students in Stripes?

At least one Texas high school has finally decided to get tough with students. Starting this fall, anyone who violates the dress code at Gonzales High School will spend the rest of the day in a prison-like jump suit.

Opinions differ on the merits of this plan.

“Some parents said the jumpsuits will make students feel like prisoners, but the district said it’s just a way to keep the children dressed appropriately for school,” according to NewsChannel6.com.

Student Jordan Meredith suggests that his schoolmates may end up having the last laugh.

“I talked to some of my friends about it, and they said they are not going to obey the dress code just so they can wear the jumpsuit,” he said.
