Random comment from a sixth grade student yesterday as we were talking about school rules: "I don't understand why we have to wear uniforms and the teachers don't."
Now, many of my peers and I wore uniforms from K-12 grade and, not once, can I recall any of us questioning why an adult didn't have to wear the uniform, too. It was just accepted that there were things they could do and things we could do. Period. And I attended high school in the grungy, "f-authority" mid-90s, not the 50s, mind you.
Couple this comment with the fact that our 10th graders have begun calling our AP by her first name -- and she seems fine with this -- and I am officially too old to understand this generation.
