School Bans Parents from Wearing PJs at Drop Off

So, in the morning I get up at 6 am prepare breakfast, and lunch. I straighten the hair of a 10 year old and a 13 year old. Then I drop the 10 year old at elementary school come home and get the other one ready and drop her off at middle school. My children are on time, clean, dressed appropriately, and mentally prepared for the day ahead. So if my hair and nails are not done excuse me. We drive up and see young ladies wearing pajama pants. The first time I saw it I ask my daughter what are they wearing. She said they do it all the time. I wondered how the school would allow such a thing and what parents were allowing the children to wear this to school.

I recently read somewhere that a designer has created pajama bottoms that look like jeans. Problem solved!

This is the UK, folks, where they're letting Islamist Sharia take over. They're dead serious about their stupidity there.

Just a tip to the single mothers out there....who cares?? we have more important things to worry about than what we wear to drop our kids off....but in my situation it worked out for my benefit. I sleep in sexy lingerie and I am a single mother. I take my daughter to school in my sexy lingerie everyday. Well, the Male P.E. coach at the Elementary School has Car Duty every morning and gets the kids out of the car every morning. He is extrememly attractive. Well needless to say WE are now HAPPILY MARRIED and it was all due to me wearing my sexy lingerie to drop my daughter off at school.....so I caught a great husband at my daughters school. He has a daughter also and our daughters LOVE being sisters and we are one happy family NOW!! Found LOVE in my PAJAMAS!!

No, I don't wear sleepwear out of the house. The reason why is this: you never know when you'll get a flat tire, be in a fender bender, or have to handle another situation.

The last thing I want is to be stuck anywhere without proper clothes. When I change my tires, I like to be wearing jeans and shoes!

It takes all of a minute to pull on jeans and proper clothes. It takes another minute to put on socks and shoes. I personally don't care what others do, but this reader will be prepared!

During my high school's first open house, which was well into the first grading period, I remember seeing the mother of one of my female students.
This particular student was 17 years of age and was very well grown up...if you know what I mean. I deliberately placed her sitting in the back of the room simply because of the clothes she would wear to school; revieling and provocative.
The other female students hated her except for those who were also dressing for the Slut of the Month award. As for the male students, oddly enough their comments and reactions were for the most part pretty tame, but they were use to her having gone through middle school with her.
Now I know your asking the question...Didn't the school have a dress code?...well, Yep, but the school's administrators rarely ever enforced it, partly because one of our administrator's daughters was a member of the same slut of the month club.
Now, I never attempted to talk to the girl about her clothing, talk about walking into a mine field, no thank you...so I had some of the younger female teachers talk to her about appropriate school atire but to no avail.
Then came the open house. When I saw her mother I finally understood. Myself and two other male teachers were in the hallway at the time when the mother came by and made a point to look at the three of us with a sultry look, wearing a low cut, French slit, tight red lycra dress which looked like she had to have been pour into.
After she passed, the three of use looked at one another and burted to ourselves "Holey God!"
It was then I knew that the apple did not fall very far from that tree.
Now don't get me wrong, I am no prude, and I do like women...but damn! There is a time and a place for that kind of attire but a public school environment is not it.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD THE PARENTS ARE NOT TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL IN THE BUFF. I JUST HOPE THEY DRESS BEFORE PICKING UP THE KIDS.

If the parents are getting out of their cars at school, they should be wearing clothes. If they simply drop their children off, pajamas shouldn't be a problem, so long as they are appropriately covered with a bathrobe. You could even throw on a button up shirt as a light jacket.

First of all Belfast is in Ireland. It may be Northern Ireland but none the less Ireland. Now a fine lad like McGuiness would like to come out of the Victorian Age and join the 21st Century and stop casting aspersions on somebody for wearing PJ's. That is the epitome of snobbery and shows an inability to see past clothing and rituals of the modern family. Joseph, my friend, there are more important issues to address and correct than parents clothing add a drop off point in the morning. Joe grow up and join the 21st Century......

In my opinion, common sense would dictate that you should wear whatever you would feel comfortable wearing should you have to get out of your car for any reason. If that isn't reason enough, going running to school, or anywhere else for that matter, in your PJs just demonstrates slothfull and lazy behavior to the kids and is a VERY POOR example to be setting for them. Another demonstration of the " Do as little as possible" concept, huh?

What right does a school have to tell parents what to wear in the privacy of their own cars? Since when does "dress code" apply to a child's parents? What's the punishment for wearing PJs in your car? Does a dress code apply to teachers who wear tight pants, low tops, or who dress sloppily? Too stupid for words.

I have a question..how would the parents who don't have problem with the pajamas issue feelif the parents shpwing up had on dirty, raggedy, too small, or revealing pajamas? Would you be okay with your kids seeing that in the morning? I wouldn't and unfortately have had to experience this myself. A mother dropped her child off in a thin little nightie, no robe, no bra and she's about a size 24. The same mother doesn't usually look that hot in the afternoon either. And at least, at our school, the kids who have parents in pajamas have kids that are just as disheveled. I'm n saying go to school looking like a beauty queen, but at least try and look like you care. While it would be nice to think that it's no big deal, it is, because it says something about you to the staff of the school. The staff that may also have children that they have to get off to school. We live inthe land of judgement and those who show up in night clothes are being judged, like it or not.

I WOULD NEVER WEAR PJ'S IN PUBLIC BUT I HAVE WORN THEM IN THE CAR TO DROP THE KIDS OFF TO SCHOOL & THE HUBBY TO WORK. IT'S COLD & I'M TIRED. SO....I HAVE PJ PANTS & A T-SHIRT. NO DIFFERENT THAN SWEAT PANTS REALLY OR STRETCH PANTS. THEY JUST HAVE DESIGNS ON THEM, SO WHAT. ANYWAY, I EITHER HAVE A COAT OR A BATHROBE OVER TOP & I STAY IN THE CAR. I'M ALWAYS DRESSED IF I HAVE TO GO INTO SCHOOL. LIKE PEOPLE SAY, IT ISN'T REALLY APPROPRIATE BUT WHO REALLY CARES? OTHER THINGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT. LIKE SOMEONE SAID BEFORE ME, ONE DAY SCHOOLS WILL BE ASKING FOR PARENTS ID. NJ HAS BEEN DOING EXACTLY THAT FOR YEARS. AND YOU HAVE TO GET BUZZED IN. YOU CAN'T JUST WALK IN THE SCHOOL. IT MAKES ME HAPPY TO KNOW MY CHILDREN ARE SAFE. OH....AND NO, I THINK THE SCHOOL IS OVER STEPPING THEIR BOUNDRIES WHEN IT COMES TO A PARENTS DRESS. I MEAN COME ON, IT'S NOT LIKE THEIR SHOWING UP IN A BIKINI! AT LEAST THEY ARE DRESSED FULLY & GETTING THEIR KIDS TO & FROM SCHOOL WHICH SHOULD BE APPLAUDED. SOME PEOPLE JUST DONT CARE! I CAN SEE IF SOMEONE SHOWED UP IN A NIGHTY OR REVEALING, THAT'S DIFFERENT. BUT PJ PANTS? REALLY!?!

People's standards for grooming and considerate behavior have fallen through the floor. In a world where fewer people seem able to manage basic politeness, consideration for others or decent habits organizations are finding themselves having to impose rules and standards from the outside. Like parents who let their children run amok in restaurants and dog owners who don't clean up after their dogs people seem no longer capable of regulating their own behavior. In that type of situation the only way for the rest of us to protect ourselves is to create artificial limits, which is definitely not the ideal solution.
