Can a Teacher tell a girl to take off her socks if they don't match dress code?
At a family holiday get together this weekend a younger cousin of mine was telling me that at her public high school she has a teacher that will make her take off her socks if they don't match the uniform dress code color, and make her wear her oxford dress shoes without socks the rest of the day... Can they do that? At a public school?
She said this happens to her all the time, and that her teacher got tired of her and other girls breaking the dress code on socks, so instead of sending them home for dress code violations, he just makes them take off the wrong color socks and wear their shoes without socks barefoot. Apparently this is a weekly, sometimes daily thing in their class.
Can they really do that for school uniform violations at a public school?

I am not sure if they can do this but surely its wrong wearing shoes without socks is very uncomfortable and causes blisters I surely wouldn't be happy if this happened to my daughter so I can understand how you feel I would go and see the headmaster and have your say about this it will make you feel a lot better, and to help the situation get the write socks for her.

Well, yes. Otherwise, what's the point of a dress code?
When I was at school, I remember people wearing T shirts under their shirts and having to remove them if they showed at all (i,e, had a visible pattern or colour), sent home for wearing trainers not proper shoes, coats/jackets being confiscated if they were deemed too extreme for the dress code, and all sorts of things.
(My school was extremely tough on uniform/dress code.
Black shoes, black trousers, white shirt, school tie, school blazer, green school jumper, and coat that was a dark colour - black, grey, blue (or at least a sensible colour), and no silly hairstyles/hair colours, ties the proper length, shirts always tucked in.
A teacher once told me it was a tactic to address poorly behaving students. If they wanted to rebel against the system, it was very easy to rebel against that part of it, so they did.
In real terms, dress code violations don't mean anything, but it kept a large majority of the troublemakers busy and stopped escalating violations and serious incidents).

The school sounds like it has a dress code. But if you want to get nitpicky (which I would, because it's fun), if the same dress code mandates that socks be worn, then they can't do it. It's just forcing them to trade one dress code violation for another.
That teacher sounds like a b****.

Even if it's not part of the dress code, a teacher is NOT ALLOWED to tell a student to remove a piece of clothing without proving a substitute.. she's allowed to send them home etc, but she can't force them to stay without wearing socks. thats cruel.
SUEE!

NOT AT ALL!!! The other time in my other school this girl in my class had 2 different colored flip flops and my teacher made her take off her flip flops and made her go barefoot in 100 degree heat. And at the end of the day her feet were black and blistered.
THAT'S CHILD ABUSE!!!
