I am writing this from school during my lunch period. This is technically a no-no. But I don’t give a rat’s pitoosh.
I decided to dress nicely today. I even planned my outfit the day before.
I would wear the heavy white shirt with the cute green jumper. White knee socks, and clogs. And, to complete the ensemble, a snood. I was cute as a button.
I was also in violation of school dress code.
You see, apparently snood=bandanna=gang symbol.
From the student handbook:
Or maybe:
Or even:
I wasn’t assigned punishment, but, yeesh, of all the things.
It was a bloody snood!
I’m just angry.
I go to this school for 4 years, and I get fussed at by some newbie who doesn’t even know my name.
There’s a game called “snood”. You can dowload it at snood.com.
But isn’t a snood one of those net things for your hair like they used to wear on Little House on the Praried? Sort of like one of those string grocery bags, except on your head?
Fenris - a snood is a hair net with a barette attached - basically, you put your hair in a pony tail, and then gather the tail up into the net. Very retro. Very 1940’s.
So, you probably don’t have one.
Tough break DarkMika - I think snoods are fabulous. I can’t imagine what gang they thought you belonged to - the Veronica Lake Hair Appreciation Gang, or what. :rolleyes: sheesh
Are we allowed to **like]/b] things in the Pit? Cos I like Snood too - I think it should be some kind of verb - I snood, thou snoodest, he she or it snoods.
Or a German verb, eve.
Hell, I don’t even haveFenris’s excuse re. codl medicine!
Back when I was in high school (the Dark Ages, apparently) we wouldn’t have been caught dead using a back pack or tote bag. There was that one kid who used a briefcase, but he also had his own computer, so he was a total nerd and had no friends. I mean come on, who actually owned their own computer? What a dork!
We carried our books in our arms like Real Men and Women!
Anyway, back to the OP. My daughter started high school this year (see, I AM old!) and they were told point blank at freshman orientation that NO head coverings were allowed. This meant hats, bandanas, even sunglasses. Snoods weren’t mentioned.
At the time I wondered about yarmulkes, since it’s a religious thing, and obviously not gang-related.
I have noticed a couple of Muslim (?) girls who wear western-style clothes, but also the head covering. It’s just the simple cotton drape that covers just their hair, and fastens under their chin.
One day as I was dropping her off, I noticed a girl with a bandana tied around her hair that matched her shirt, definitely a fashion thing. I asked my daughter if she would be allowed to keep it on and she said that they would make her take it off.
I assume they had to make allowances for religious reasons, but not for fashion reasons.
A snood seems pretty harmless, though. :rolleyes:
I could see their point about the snood. A head covering is a head covering, just because one is cute and stylish and another isn’t doesn’t make a difference. Some kid with a ratty old baseball cap will point at you and say “but SHE get’s to wear THAT!”
