In the instance of the dress code violation at OLHS, we believe that when a student is made to live with the consequences of breaking any rule, that is NOT the time to try to change the rule. We hold that the proper response should have been to take the punishment and address the rule afterward. We are appalled that the media jumped on this the way it did -- thus validating the reaction to what we see as a reasonable response to a violation.
While some of us agree with the dress code, there are others of us who feel it really is too stringent. We don't mind that the school/school district is taking another look at its policy. However, we wish to show OakLeaf High School and Clay County School District our support for them. We wish to show our willingness to follow rules and laws and understanding that there is a correct method for changing those rules/laws we feel should be changed.

There is a time and a place for everyting. A problem with the school should be addressed with the school first. The media is a good resource that should be used only if you have exhausted the proper means of communication first. The teachers and administration at the school go through a lot to educate our kids and they deserve the courtesy of learning about a disagreement face to face not on the news. If we let rule breakers get away with this simply because they disagree with the rules we are setting a dangerous precedent for our kids and our community.
I am so tired of the attention given to this girl and her mother. Whether we agree or disagree with how this situation was handled (Dress Code Violation Uniform), it is pretty simple….there are rules - follow them - or accept the consequences. If you choose not to read the handbook, check the website, review the papers that came home during the first week of school (that both the student and parent are asked to sign regarding dress code), or attended Open House…of which this was all presented again – it is not anyone's fault, but your own. Ignorance of the "law/rules” is not a defense. Teach your child to follow the rules and not expect special treatment – very simple. I support the CCSD and OHS Administration and Faculty. I applaud all those “violators” who have gone before and accepted the consequences without turning it into a media circus. If you do not like the rules, follow the proper chain of command to voice your concerns and propose a resolve. If they are not resolved to your satisfaction – there are other schools you can send your child too!
Oh, BTW, fourth option, virtual school has no dress code as far as I know.
I support the teachers, the school, the district, the dress code and the punishment. Simple...follow the rules...no issue!
I fully support all the staff members and instructors, as well as rules at the Oakleaf high school.
I completely agree with the content of this petition.
Children need to know that rules are there for a reason. there are a lot of rules and laws i think are pointless but we have to abide by them. i think the dress code outfit is a good idea.

I agree with school. I have 2 children that attend OHS and they said how each of their teachers stressed dress code daily the first 1-2 weeks of school. There is no way this child did not know what dress code was. My daughter has had to wear that outfit before. 1/2 the stufents have. They rock it and keep going.
