My school is wacko

Or she could pose for pictures wearing only the snood :smiley:

I was just thinking that. So-

  "Who made these fine clothes, your majesty?"
   Then, the king lied, for he said "Just me."
    Thus the king caused the curse of the Snood.
    All the buttons unbuttoned. All the glue came unglued.
    The king was left standing almost nude.

Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods, Batman!

Yes, this is an actual quote from the Batman TV show

So, if you’re female…

:eek:

Snoods are really cute.

I’ll find some pictures.
Ah, here’s one example:

Or better yet:

Now then, my sister recently had Homecoming Week, and this year, PJ day was banned. Because in the past couple years, people wore “skanky” pjs or things that were too skimpy.
Which sucks. There is NOTHING more fun than going to school in your jammies!

I found out what a snood was two weeks ago. I was surrounded by women in snoods at a historical festival in my hometown. Snood snood snood. Very cute. Snood.

I snood can’t snood stop snood saying snood it.
Snood.

Quiet! Remember what happened last time somebody mentioned cute girls going to school in pajamas!

Which reminds me, I must go start a “My Date With The Cute Snood Wearing Girl” thread.

HIM: Oh Baby! When we get back to my place I’m gonna
Snood you till you get all snoody, then I’m snood you
until you snood!

HER: Only if you let me snood your snood first
you animal!

HIM: I’m sorry, I’m just not into that kinky stuff:D
:smiley:

See, I just got all confused because I thought that a snood was the long red fleshy wattle like thing that grows from a turkey’s forehead. I could kind of see why the teacher wouldn’t want folks wearing one!

I find pretty much everything to do with High School these days pretty tragic.
It’s enough to make a snood cry. :sad:

My snood was like the one at

About my school:
It’s a small-town school. Graduating class is 308, so about 1500 students. I’m in Western Kentucky, near Heath Highschool, famous for the Heath Shootings.
My freshman year, they used metal detectors on gym bags, but they don’t anymore.

My chief beef is that the rules don’t make sense. They ban one thing (bookbags) for one reason(they can carry guns), but allow another which could be used to the same end (purses).

I went to my principal today to ask about the snood, because I wasn’t sure she’d actually seen it. I was very polite about it. She said the issue had come up before. She explained that, if she allowed girls to have snoods, boys would want ball caps.
So it comes under the “hat” rule, and I can wear it on hat days.
So, it’s not snood=gang. It’s snood=hat.

I’m thinking this is malarky.
How can something that doesn’t even keep out rain be classified as a hat?

She’s never seen the sort that are attached to barrettes, so I don’t know if those are permissible. I don’t have an example of one to show her, anyway.

We have a JSA meeting this Thursday, I guess I’ll bring it up then. We have a student council, but they’re pretty ineffective. We’re hoping the new JSA club can be established as the de facto student government.

You know, y’all have made me realize something. Snood is a fun word.
I want a long-sleeved t-shirt with the word “snood” printed on it, over and over, in narrow rows.

I got my snood at a Civil War reenactment.

I knew an SCA link would show up in this thread sooner or later. Ooo! She has hair sticks! Must… have… carved… bone… hairstick…! Ahem… <cough, cough> Snoods, yes; I’ve got several snoods in nice colors. So has The Offspring, but I don’t think she’s worn them to school. I’m not sure what the reaction would be. Their rules seems as arbitrary but not as unreasonable as yours, DarkMika.

Hats are okay as long as they’re removed in the classroom. Which IMO proves that a snood is a hair ornament, not a hat. You cannot remove a snood in the classroom and just pop it back on when you leave. Not if you’ve got as much hair as she’s got, anyhow. There is a Sikh boy in her class who of course wears his turban. This, too, is a “hair thing” and emphasizes the difference between a “hat thing” but it’s also a religious requirement which would justly cut him way more slack than a snood. (Makes me wonder if he’s also carrying a kirpan. Hm. Now there’s an interesting quandry for school officials.)

They used to limit boys to “one earring per ear” (which made me wonder if a guy could have two earrings in one ear). Now they uniformly say no facial hair and earrings are the only facial jewelry allowed, as many as you want, I guess. Hm. I wonder what they do about the kid who had a diamond installed in her front tooth?

They got on her case for not wearing shoes when they have to start doing that in grade 7, but other than that I think only a bare midriff has called down the Wrath of the Powers That Be on her head.

OG SMASH SNOODS!

Ok, I’ve decided not to make a big deal about this to the school. I’m only going to do some low-level grousing to my friends, and chime in whenever there’s a discussion on the dress code. I may design and order a SnoodSnoodSnoodSnoodSnoodSnoodSnood shirt through cafepress, though. Snood.

FNORD!!!

SNOOD!!!

Not all snoods have the barrette, my ex used to wear one from the 20s that was basically just a bag for the hair (solid satiny fabric in this case) with a band around it to keep it in place. (Hers was sequined, which really stood out.)

There are also ballet snoods for dancers, which are much smaller.

The hamster’s been snooded.

What’s the rationale behind the rule against facial hair?

And does anyone have enough facial hair to matter in high school? Or is wispy, half-assed attempts at beard growing what they’re trying to prevent?

I don’t particularly object to reasonable dress codes, because you can always change when you get home, but shaving is harder to reverse.
