Houston high school principal bans hair rollers, satin caps, pajamas - for parents

- A nationally acclaimed high school principal is standing by a new dress code she created, not for students, but for their parents. Carlotta Outley Brown is the principal of James Madison High School in Houston, Texas. Earlier this month, she issued new rules for parents after one mother allegedly showed up at the school wearing a headwrap and t-shirt dress. Omar Villafranca reports.
"You are your child's first teacher". If every parent was able to grasp the weight of that statement, this world would be waaaay better
Yessss! Absolute truth
luvmifro1003 That was truth! 👌🏿
YES SO TRUE
So how do u explain some kids regardless off what u teach them choose something else? 🤔
Let's not judge
@@yajairagonzalez75 I'm not sure how you were able to interpret that comment as being judgemental. However, the emphasis of my statement is for parents to be mindful of what they're teaching their children. If the child chooses to go off the path they were taught, as most children will, it's would be because of the choices they've made, not because they were taught incorrectly. Make sense?
She know darn well most of the parents are not coming from a gym wearing bonnets and rollers. 😂🤣
Exactly! I was thinking the same thing.
Right!!!!
Okay?! SMH
RIGHT !!! We need to care about our appearance all of the time.
She did sound stupid saying that.
It's sad that we have to mandate what should be common sense! They're embarrassing their kids looking like that!
Nikki Velazquez Yeah wearing shorts and normal clothes are so embarrassing. LMAO
Michelle Paul did you not see the woman in the video?
@@michellepaul8514 Huh? Did you watch the video?? I WISH they were wearing shorts and t-shirts!
Nobody would care. Schools like this suck so hard. Glad I went to an art school people dress however they want and nobody cares.
@@yuo3670 i wish i could go to an art school
i love how having class is deemed “classist” nowadays.
That's so classist. :) You're welcome.
Or how just being respectful and showing up like a normal person would to an official building like a school is considered classy. I remember when classy was when you were a slight notch higher than normal/standard.
Well, I see reading comprehension is still not emphasized.
Magnificent Failure depends on where you are in the world. Technically to have class is to socially acceptable, classic and elegant personal standards of behaviour. Going to a lesson should 'attending a class'. I see that some Americans use the two interchangeably? I do think it was being used in a sarcastic and humorous way.
it's not even about "class" it's just common courtesy lol
So what if grandma comes in her curlers from Ednas hair shop at 330
Lol
Atleast the parent considered to take a shower before going to school, the bad thing is she forgot to remove her shower cap and robe. 😅 🤣
What's wrong with a hoodie? I'm sorry it seems to me the principal is doing too much. If parents wanna come to the school embarrassing themselves and their kids by looking crazy then so be it. The parents do not attend her school, the children do!
I was thinking the same. What's wrong w/ a hoodie?? And most of these apply only to one gender - women, which Is problematic. Go to any public place and you see women everywhere wearing black leggings. It's the trend now whether she likes it or not. Looks like she is trying to implement her own preferences of dress, with no real good reason behind it.
The time I was raised as a little girl preteen and teen we could not dare bet not come out of the house with Pajamas shower caps t-shirt dress wraps around our heads looking like we just got up out of the bed and going to school that would have never have happened not in the 70s not even in the 80s not even in the 90s I was raised in the 60s and the 70s and High School in the 80s if my mother found out then I went to school in my pajamas and a shower cap back in the 1970s in the 80s in high school my mother had when I slap me from the front door to school all the way back home home and my face would have been still on the floor and trying to figure out where to find it to put it back laugh out loud my mother just not did not play that it was forbidden my mother had standards girls have to look and dress modest boys have to have a belt around their pants waist up girls mid top have to be covered talk with respect we were not allowed to walk around the house without a housecoat overall pajamas I don't know what happened these days ain't what it used to be what happened to respect hands down to the principal she did a phenomenal phenomenal job that's called respect an honor and integrity in reverence it all it all starts at home with the parents amen
I stand with this woman! Bring standards back!
There’s a direct correlation between failing schools and parents that dress like the ones covered in this article. Parents that show up to their children’s schools sloppy aren’t interesting in homework, going to bed on time and going to school on the regular, they’re satisfied with a permanent underclass status.
That parent doesn’t get it....I wouldn’t be insulted if my kids brought that letter home.
No u wouldn't but you also proberly a good parent..
I have no comment except the design of this high school is absolutely stunning!
Looks like they going places in life but apparently it's a failing school, I wonder what the problem could be....
This woman isn’t helping us get anywhere. She got an student abused my the police. And the media is only talking bout the damn dress code she set for our (I am a student) parents.
@@lotsaaxel6523
Where are you planning on going to college?
i thought the same thing 😂
@@lotsaaxel6523 I no longer jump at black people's claims of abuse. I wait to hear the story. Too many people that want to act ugly and have no respect for the teachers or other students. Why is the kid acting in a way that necessitates the police having to deal with the kid.
Call your mom and thank her for never showing up to pick you up looking like that.
Jenn Terry let me tell you! I’m so grateful my mom has self respect and never did that!
Jenn Terry you right brb 🤣
@@nakiasimone Call your mama!!
AMEN!
My mom NEVER did this. Im grateful for it. She’s the reason why I leave the house looking presentable
I am on the principal team.......she is right!
I agree too
me too
Okay and this is a part of having high standards how about wearing your real hair LOL then the principal will have to switch up now to then
Principal's team.
I honestly understand why some people are annoyed, simply because if I was dressing appropriately I would be offended by getting a letter chastising me like a child.
There is a such thing as dressing appropriately I've seen people come in for an interview wearing shorts and a tee shirt then wonder why they didn't get a job etc
Good for her,if the parents don't have standards then their children won't either.
So if I had to come in for an emergency and I was in the middle of doing my hair I couldn’t pick up my child?
Standards to dress a certain way? You need better priorities
@@aubryannapichon7784 that's short notice but if you sign up to be a chaperone dress accordingly
Tomy Boyle What if they just got off of work!
@@aubryannapichon7784 Situation dependent. This was not an emergency.
What the lady they are interviewing doesn’t understand is that it starts at home. Grades will come up and it will reflect the academia progress at the school if children at home are taught it carry themselves with respect.
Right?!!
Wrong
Keep your sleep wear at home where it belongs, poor kids get made fun of for parents dressing like bedtime out in public. Can you imagine things said to the kids?
This is not about punishment but Standards.
It's sad these new generation parents would think that attire is ok !
And people are still arguing about this. I would say unbelievable but this is where we are as a society.
Exactly
@@Coach-DC
I hope they put forth this rule throughout all the schools. Needs to be a dominoe effect.
"If we get called at the gym to go to the school"
Y'all working out on the treadmill and barbells with rollers in your hair?
Drew just a head wrap
Or leggings and tank tops like they mentioned. I’ve seen plenty of women working out with a bonnet on their head as well. Also if I’m out and I happen to have a nice t shirt dress on (which are trending at the moment) am I really expected to change before I come to the school? I do think people should think about how they go out in public however. Me personally being a stay at home mom I wear activewear 80% of time.
There was a time when you didn't have to tell parents how to dress. Dress appropriately parents. You are your childs first teacher. No exceptions.
Drew right. They ain’t working out with low cut tops, T-shirt dresses, or bonnets on their heads. You should only dress like that at home
@@bighaneul89 I don't think she's saying you can't drive up to the door and drop your kid off and then drive off. I think the principal is saying if you're going to go up to the school or going inside the school , that you have to be dressed appropriately. Just saying.
Wow that's fcking sad...parents need to be told how to dress..i believe it...shame on those parents...
Yup very sad indeed
@49jubilee it doesn't matter there's lots of single parents who have respect for themselves and know how to put on clothes in public.
49jubilee everyone has responsibilities to be a leader and all fatherless are not a bad examples of children
@49jubilee so is ya mama!
Shame on the parents? Some of her rules are understandable, Others are excessive! This is especially the case, you're picking your kid up after working out, or dropping off first thing in the morning. I personally almost always wear jeans in the event that I need to get out of the car, unless I'm going to the gym. And unless I just brushed my hair that morning, I'm wearing a headwrap in and out of the gym. Mini things started home, however, the principal of a failing school system should be more focused on productive ways to improve the students grades, rather than a dress code for parents.
As it should be... What kind of example are parent's setting by wearing their PJs in public... A lazy society that's what.... 😜
I love that she has standards and wants to raise her children's standards...but she soon realized that it starts at home! I love it! Re-invent the wheel for black schools!
Simply Myla K. Stfu
I love the fact that she got a student abused
@@lotsaaxel6523
Substantiate your allegation with proper evidence.
@@RadiantWild What's wrong snowflake
I love that she stands for something. Everything starts with home first. Parents should have standards and if they won't do it on their own, then someone must do it for them.
Fam, please don't give your child a reason to get bullied. It's tough enough out there as it is.
Nobody would get bullied for that.
@@yuo3670 They would and they are. I've seen it with my own two eyes.
@Thirdeye-you're absolutely right. They often are the best fighters. Did you ever wonder why? Some people, when bullied, don't just walk away. Some lash back with a SmackDown. They've still been hurt by the bullying, however.
That is a rag, not a head scarf! And that is a T-shirt, not a damn dress! I remember when black women left their homes with gloves, hats and hair on fleek. We all know black people have lost their minds! We need standards for the home, the community and the world. Many of our children don't even know how to dress for a job interview or a funeral! Some of us wear the club dress to the funeral! Pajamas, head rags, slippers? Part of this discussion must be time management skills, organization, and accountability! The principal is on point! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
And, I'm wearing a beautiful turban in my photo. I worked in non-profit, private industry and the medical field. My turbans matched my suits! The people used to be in awe of my head wraps! I was fly!
Fatimah Rahman thank you, you and I both know we can put our hair in a pony tail. Black parents needs to step our game up. My senior will be like what do you have on.
Fatimah Rahman I wear my african print head wraps(UA-cam tutorials) on days I don’t feel like doing my hair and I work in a corporate setting, so saying that what she had on in that vid was a headwrap made me laugh that was a damn dirty house rag
This isn't a black or white thing there's many other races who do the same thing everyone should be held accountable no matter what race you are let's not make this about race that's ignorant.
MiA ℝ☮ḉḰϟ ♥ ♫ ♪ ♥ ♫ ♪ ♥ ♫ ♪ You know that black women can be extra ratchet. Race is a big part of it! It's embarrassing but the t-shirts on the head, du-rags, bonnets, and bandanas are us! Rollers are worn by white women! They also wear pajamas. But we are becoming worse every year. I see the decline!
Both can be done.Raise scores and Parents can dress appropriately.
I am pretty sure the school has policies beyond dress code otherwise why are her kids there?
Right! A local Houston reporter said he expected to age student better results in a year. She said NO; in six months!!! It should be said this principal has turned around several failing schools. She is the 4th principal there in three years. They need her!
i agree with her. insane to have to tell adults how to dress appropriately.
What's appropriate and inappropriate is a matter of opinion. It's insane that she can tell ADULTS what to wear to begin with. As long as they aren't revealing their genitals no one should have the right to tell them what to wear. If I had a kid in this school I'd pull him/her out right away and get them into another school.
So far, Jillian, you’re the only one in this thread with standards.
If you dress like trash, you'll be treated like trash. Want RESPECT? Treat yourself & others with respect. Part of that is "dressing for success." What you wear says A LOT about your self esteem.
Agreed
Mystic Mac Well then you'd be doing that school a favor by doing just that!
This should be a rule across the country in every school and workplace
Should not have to be a rule😏
It shouldn't have to be a rule. People should just know better.
And the grocery store and dollar store
If it's okay to set a dress code for students & staff ahead of an academic plan, then it's perfectly reasonable to require visitors to be held to the same standards.
These are parents not visitors. This is nothing but a way to Target black mothers and there using a black woman to do it. Black people always have to be policed by our culture. If a parent wears a bonnet then so what.
@@sincerre4real541 perhaps keep your hairdressing and personal grooming sessions seperate
@@sincerre4real541 - are you saying black parents aren't able to dress appropriately? Are you honestly saying that black parents/people think dressing like trash, like you just woke up, or like you have ZERO respect for yourself & others is "normal?" That's a HUGE racist ASSUMPTION that is FALSE!!!
sincerre 4real you are a brain dead idiot
sincerre 4real ohhh I see what’s wrong with you by looking at your play list.
I’m in full support! Thank you for caring enough to go against the grain. Thank you Principal Brown😍!
Yeah 👏👏👏👏
"You" are your child's first teacher, I agree with that statement. If you believe this then: you will leave your hair bonnets, short skirts, body hugging clothing out of the school or in public. We are simply asking you to set a higher standard.
Standard is a four letter word these days.
This parent is clueless. Dress appropriately and stop complaing.
You can't wear your yoga pants/leggings either Becky
Mariana Gallegos at least we know Becky works out. None of these women featured here look they’ve ever visited a gym.
DJ GaFFLe some women wear yoga pants and they don't work out. They wear them because they are comfortable. The same with leggins. That was why she said that goes for Becky. I have heard them say they wear them for comfort to run around town. So have several seats on your comment!
@@lauritapolk9400 yeah sure... but you and I both know the deal.
DJ GaFFLe the bottom line is people have gotten lazy with their appearance. Personal hygiene should be a daily practice and no one should have to tell grown people to look presentable when you come out in public. I would have never thought this had to be a discussion. Simply pathetic. 😕
*I FULLY support the principal!! A person's first impression of you is your appearance. Thank GOD people are not making this a racial issue because clearly we can see the principal is black. I support her decision*
Jessica:
What's sad is it would have been made a racial issue if the principal had been non-Black. Yet, the principal's message still would have been the same.
What else do we miss, simply because the messenger is of the opposite race?
Is the cure for cancer, the tactic that will dissolve ISIS, the plan that will make our healthcare system be available, and affordable to all; overlooked because the person with the answer is of a different race, political group, religion or educational level than the masses?
I wonder...
@@missireason8998 I completely agree. It really is sad. The internet would've been up in arms had she been white. I'm hoping more principals no matter what the race is, follows suit & does what this principal did. I'm pretty sure they wanted to but were afraid of the backlash.
I 100% agree with her. Your kid might get heckled because you don't care about your appearance. Kids should be proud to show who their parents are and what they are about. Not embarrassed!
Toni Slug since u like here so much learn about how she abused a student... I am a student by the way
Sydney Tyson abc13.com/hisd-students-walk-out-after-incident-involving-teen/5258252/ that’s an link to the video the news did... but it’s getting overshadowed by this issue. Long story short- she took something from a student, student tried to get the item back,she pushed/hit student & decided to scream assault and got the police involved. Police handcuffs the girl and slams here to the floor multiple times. Causing multiple bruises.Aftermath - she expelled the student, police officer got removed from campus but she (the principal) remains.
That is petty.. this is why everyone thinks Americans are stupid
Your comment changed my mind on this. You make a great point.
I don't know if there's ever been a mean*ager who wanted their parents around. . . Anywhere they are
What the principal is asking of the parents is so simple...They act like putting on pants & a blouse/dress and combing their hair is beyond difficult.
Message: We are our kids 1st role models! It starts at home 1st!
We should do that every day anyway.
I SAY KUDOS TO THE PRINCIPAL...👏👏👏👏👏
Teresa Ware YES!!!
The Principal is right! Why would you want to look like that period?? Especially, in front of your child as well as OTHER people's children. Looking like you just woke up🤨
My senior would be so embarrassed if I came to the school in rollers! Come on parents step up your game!
I can't wait for this to be challenged in court. People how a parent dresses to pick her child up from school had anything to do with people a good parent. If my child is in school, well dressed, fed, and doing his/her work don't worry about my clothes. So many people want to control adults. Worry about yourself and your children. So many judgemental people out here.
I know you have seen what the Principal is talking about people need to get over there ghetto mentality. Almost every place has a dress code , even stores no shoes no shirt no service.
Keep up the good work principal!
You can't satisfy everyone. I beileve the principal is doing something good.
I totally agree with the principal because I work with the public and you'll be surprised when they walk into the office what they actually have on I have even seen people come in a robe and slippers straight out of bed
I also think parents do so, because they going right back home to jump back in bed & sleep until it's time to pick the kids up! lol
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾...If YOU can dress for WHATEVER appropriately then you can surely dress appropriately for YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL...Show up and be the EXAMPLE.... Future Leaders are watching and in training👀💪🏽💪🏽💜
Nik Nat Patty Wack so so true!
Amen amen and amen. Well said. Future leaders in training watching their first role models. Raise the bar, parents. Home is the first training ground for good or bad then the school, church, peers, wider society. If the parents do their job at home then there would be no problem in school e.g. bullying etc etc
Yeah, mom in her pajamas and a rag on her head, no ma'am. A parent shouldn't need to be told how to dress, but clearly some do.
All white panel: I don’t know how I feel about that dress code 😬
It’s ok for your kids and your schools to have standards, but schools predominantly serving POC can’t? Are parents showing up with bonnets and t-shirt mini dresses at your schools? Clearly this principal is doing something right, but you want to try and spin this story to paint her in a negative light? Where were the interviews of parents in support? Smh
YES!!! Where are the supporters of this new rule.
Wtf. Lol. This has nothing to do with race. Boi🙄
I totally agree I can't stand whites acting like we can't do better, so it's wrong to try. Its insulting!
It's called "the soft Bigotry of low expectations".. A patronizing view of Blacks by certain whites & even black folks..
I felt the exact same way , and couldn't believe what I was hearing at the end of this video!
This is a good thing. I think a little extreme on some of the clothing types. Just means parents need to pick up their game. Also, it is unfortunate that public dress code has deteriorated too. The lady being interviewed has a limited idea of what education should be. Decorum, etiquette, and manners is a big part of making someone successful.
YOU GO GIRL!!! Anyone who has ever dealt with disadvantaged schools know you spend more time dealing with the social issues and life issues of our kids before you can focus on the academic. It takes a lot to get them to feel good about themselves. Many of their issues begin at home.
karen alara I couldn’t agree more! I work at an elementary school in a disadvantaged community and see this day in and day out. It’s really sad but motivates me to be the best at my job to try and help the kids!💗
Karla F. It’s sad. But, many times you are their example, encouragement, and motivation to do better. I wish there could be parenting, social, etiquette classes without offending anyone. I agree. Applaud those parents for coming because it’s difficult to get them there for whatever reason. But, we still need to do better. FMLA is great for those with paid leave. But, I think we need to find a way to support parents participating in their child’s education during the day without sacrificing 2-4 hours of pay.
Lol, you have to get a schedule that allows you to get dressed before leaving home. It's not that difficult after you've practiced for a while.
it takes 17 days to form a habit, whether good or bad. doable parents. stop being defensive! if that school is failing it's your fault too!!
Not to mention, the lady in the -dress- t-shirt is being interviewed in the middle of the afternoon! That's not a timing issue, that's a self-respect issue.
Simply Myla K. Most of us already dressed for work. Doesn’t seem like they go to work.
What kind of world are we in today, when parents have to be reminded to put on some decent clothing before leaving their home?
Tacky...tacky...tacky....!
Maybe she doesn’t work. I’m a SAHM. I don’t look a mess when I take my kids to school in the morning, but I’m not dressing up just to come back home and take care of a 10 month old all day. 9 times out of 10 I have on activewear (leggings, tank, t shirt. Possibly cute head-wrap) which is 80% of my wardrobe. That’s what I feel comfortable in to MY day to day. I understand what she is trying to do, but giving a dress code to parents. Yeah I don’t think so.
The principal isn't demanding a suit and tie. Good grief.
Yes just appropriate dress.
I love it! YAY!!! And please don't make excuses for these ADULTS... These things should go without having to be said, but since they don't, I'm glad she said it. ❤️
neither one of these reporters are going to their child's school dress in the way the code stated, you just didn't want to give her, this woman any credit!! and the only language people understand sometimes is paper. Great job ma'am for caring for your students and trying to make them understand how to respect themselves!!
It's called "the soft bigotry of low expectations".. It's a patronizing attitude of "certain people" twords Black folks. It assumes that we are some kinda developmentally delayed group who can't be held to the same standards as other groups...
I will also say those reporters scoffed at these rules because in reality, they have never been to an underperforming high school. They think this rule is ridiculous because they never have nor will be in an environment in which everyone dresses like this. They’ve all grown up in privileged in which their parents never dressed like this and don’t see the other side.
Every Villain Is Lemons You are absolutely correct! When I first heard about this I thought the principal was doing too much and maybe it was just that one parent. But then I saw another video of a news team that pretty much captured almost ALL the parents coming up to the school in bonnets and “night clothes”. This news snippet focused on the clothing but the bigger issue is taking pride in yourself (which hopefully children will pick up on). I’m black and I NEVER saw any parent dressed in pajamas and hair bonnets. I’m 35 y/o. Maybe yoga pants (I’m guilty of that 🙋🏾♀️ although I make it look “cute” with a jean jacket or something) but it would not be a debate if I was told that was not acceptable. Im not a parent but still. What’s wrong with ppl?! 🤷🏾♀️
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.........no one will respect sweatpants and rollers anywhere
EXACTLY!
tim priddy
If your life is dictated by who likes or dislikes what you are wearing than you have failed at life.
O support her rules I don't blame her it's ignorant to half dress up and your a parent 😂🙏💃
Failing school or not, ALL standards need to be addressed, including how people should present themselves in a professional environment.Good for her.
This is directed towards black women as the woman in the beginning said what if you're out at the gym and there is an emergency at the school you don't have time to change...plus parents work and are tired so why pester them with a dress code there are way more important things to worry about than what a parent is wearing for a few minutes while they are enrolling or picking up their children
I agree with this Principal 100%! It's not like she's asking parents to come up there wearing their "Sunday best". But she is telling you to look appropriately and not like you've just stepped out of bed! Set a positive example for all the young people who will see you walking across their campus. Teens are easily influenced by what they see. And don't give me the "but but..what if it's an emergency" crap. How often do these "emergencies" happen, if at all?? And even if they did, I'm preeeeetty sure the Principal would totally understand that your house burned down...🙄. We're not talking about *exceptions* people, we're talking about the RULE. Know the difference. Quit deflecting and making excuses. Plan ahead, stay organized (which btw are good things your child could learn from) and present yourself like an ADULT when you are in public.
I agree with the principle 100%!!! You should always dress your best especially when you are taking care of business!!!! 😂
Principal
The parent speaking burns my biscuits, the principle is on point.
That's why trashy areas will never change. You have an educated, aspirational woman trying to get people to have respect for themselves and they resent her and complain.
Principal*
The lady that was denied entry lmao- - my point exactly! Go principal go!!! The head scarf and big T-shirt😂😂
"This is a failing school" so we should just not have standards? I agree with the principle. Parents need to lead by example and know they have to work with the school.
So because standards, are NOW in place, people are offended?
No hoodies then a few seconds later they show a kid with hoodie.
In the halls. That kid was exiting the building
My sons school has a uniform policy along with a dress code. No hoodies is one of them. My son wears one to school then takes it off. Puts it back on when coming home.
@John Kevin flip flops might be because they don't want ppl spreading their toe fungus around or getting stomped on in the crowded hallways. I imagine the hoodie ban is because they want the staff to be able to identify their students.
I Support This; We need Principals with a Vision for our Students. Thank God!!!
Bravo. Stop being lazy people. Parents need to follow the dress code just like the kids
Oh my, the Pricipal has to tell you how to dress? Wow.
It's not hard to dress appropriate. I applaud the principal for not wanting these parents showing up looking like they are applying for welfare. Have some pride.
I agree with the principal, parents are the student's first teachers. She means well.
Why would you get a call from the school if you’re at the gym unless it’s an emergency?
How about you raise your freaking kids right? She’s helping y’all raise these kids so they won’t get incarcerated in the future, now you’re putting your feelings upfront...
“ I feel like...” why cares about your feelings.
Surely that would be exceptional circumstances and happen very rarely. In my whole years at school and college, none happened to me or any other children. If it did, they would have understood. To send a memo shows that this was prolific... Either the school has a huge emergency problem (in which case they would excuse the parents turning up however... Even that's suspect) or these parents need to step their game up. It's not hard to pull on a pair of pants and a shirt or comb your hair (don't come in the scarf you sleep in)
I don't disagree regarding the principals standards, perhaps just her methods. Everything on the banned clothing list i find distasteful. However the lady who provided the counter arguments made some good points. A mother who is in gym clothings, which tends to be tight lets be real, picking child up from school should be excused imo. There needs to be more nuance. But then who decides that?....There should have been better communication.
That does sound pretty reasonable, but you either accept setting a higher standard for your own kids and others or you don't. Part of that is managing your time to be home and get properly dressed before pickup. And yes, tell your kids what you needed to do just to get them back home. They will learn from it.
She’s not wrong. However, she’s also not a fashion dictator. Especially in that loud homemade coloring on her jacket.
🤣🤣🤣
You didn’t have to roast her like that, Tyke 😂😂😂😂
@@DianaMillan He didn't roast her. He thought he did but he didn't. Anybody can add some adjectives to an opinion, but that doesn't make it a roast or a read.
😫😫😫🤣🤣🤣
You look an egg with a beard and sunglasses
"This is a failing school, and it's partly because I dress like I'm still in bed all the d--n time because I couldn't care less."
Well done Madam Principal! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Praise Yah! I am grieved by young black mothers who go in public looking like they rolled out of bed. Simple solution: buy affordable maxi dresses from Ross Dress for Less AND learn how to tie a yard of fabric into beautiful African head wraps via UA-cam videos.
Why African head raps?
It starts In the home lady and having the parents show some class and respect when coming to meet with the people who are educating their is great example and place to start!
There was a ton more to that dress code than the three things listed in the title lol, I'm impressed by the Principals accomplishments and she seems genuine, but the one parent has the best point if it's emergency or you are working out and unable to go back home to change this is way too much.
if there was an emergency...pretty sure that would be the exception to the rule. There always is. I think that mom is just pulling straws and defensive. it is just as much the parents' fault that a school fails, as the teachers. Time management is important tools for people and these days people are full of excuses.
wth is “working out” in rollers and satin caps? come on now. and i will. bet that not one single parent was violating the dress code because he or she was busy at the gym before picking up said child. and i am certain emergencies are an exception.
What if that's all they had to wear?
You raise a good point.
The excuses have to STOP! People buy what they want and beg for what they need. Teachers see it all the time. It starts at home - kids come to school with Jordans and they don't have school supplies. Parents have weave and nails done, but they come to school looking like they didn't bathe.
@@emeraldprincess3072 Oh you know them and their kids?
Thank you, thank you Mrs principal. About time someone has the guts to bring "class" back to the schools. If mothers dress codes are too low probably they have nothing useful to say anyway so it's best they stay home.... :)
Now if we can just ban dog and cat hair all over the clothes in the workplace that would be great !
Black American Princess please say it again
At least restaurant workers. Eesshhhh.
I say good for the principal to up the standards of the parents. Some of these parents need to realize that the way they dress is an embarrassment to not only them but their kids. We all remember how fast news gets around a school. If a parent shows up basically mooning everybody 9 out of 10 times the whole school know by lunch and the child will get to bear the brunt of it.
This got me thinking about my son and the Elementary school he attended many years ago in Texas. He was a special ed student for the first 10 years, he finally earned his way to mainstream classes in HS and graduated with his peers in 2010. He had many behavioral issues, I got lots of calls from his teacher. I finally told him if she had to call me at work again and I had to come there, I would show up with my hair in rollers, wearing something awful. Then, I wouldn't take him home (what he wanted), but I would be by his side for the entire school day. I would be there, looking horrible while he had lunch, while he was on the playground, etc. He knew, Mom doesn't play around so he believed me and I never had to make good on that threat. He did much better, so when I did go to his classroom to help as a chaperone, I made sure I dressed nicely, put on make-up. I even brought snacks and goody bags for the other kids, which in turn made them like him a bit more. It's sad that most parents now don't have the time to invest in their children's school experience because they have to work so much just to survive. I was working two jobs back then as a single mom, but my second job was a business I started out of my house so I could be home after he got of school. Parents and school staff need to get better at working together to solve issues instead of pointing fingers and focusing their anger on relatively minor issues. I'm gravely concerned for the lives and safety of our children today. School shootings have become so common, we barely notice these attacks now.
Good
That's school seriously looks Stellar. y would u show up @ such a beautiful School dressed like u are going to check ur mailbox?🤔
Yeah that woman shouldn’t dress like that
Tomika Brown... get ur life together. If u wouldn't wear it on a TV interview then u shouldn't wear it to ur childs school. I agree the principal
I'm for that
That's a bit outside of her jurisdiction. If it's a private school, maybe that could be in a charter or something.
Problem is, people regardless of what time crunch they are on, a lot of the time don't have any self-values in order to make themselves look presentable. I see it EVERYDAY, with clients. They walk in, with beat up tank tops, holes all in it, worn out jeans, pajamas, etc. Now I know they can afford clothes, because they regularly spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars with my company. It is a lack of self-respect and honestly, uncomfortable to see a lot of the time at a professional business. It certainly makes myself and my colleagues take them less seriously at the very least. I don't see why if they children are having to follow a strict dress code, the parents of those children visiting the school shouldn't either. Now the woman who was talking about having to come from the gym or whatever because of some emergency, I'm fairly sure that your dress code them would be overlooked so long as you aren't showing up looking like the woman who was turned away. I'm glad you are in your child's life and participating in their education, but for the majority of the time I can agree that you should honestly be presenting yourself the way you want your child to present themselves in the future, when they have children or go to places of business, of course, given the circumstances in why you are present.
Love her!!! Stand strong and never lower those standards. My hats off to you!!!
I don't know how this could be a problem? 🤔
I'll watch again but I didn't hear a problem.
Watched again and didn't hear a problem she said nothing about workout clothes. Obviously her school is already doing well.
That parent didn't have a headscarf on that looked liked a ripped sheet around her head.
I graduated in 2009, if my mom has no jurisdiction over what I wear, neither does a principle. Keep in mind I don’t dress in any of those things she mentioned.
"i dont like the dress code because If i'm working out and get a call from school.". I dont think thats a real concern for her.
@Diane Berg because obviously fitness is not important to her. even so she can just take a bag with her to the gym like a lot of people do.
I'm with her on this. parents don't realize children do as they see more than as their told. show some I care....
I am a school secretary. We have a standard that we make our children follow. Some parents come into our school, where we have some very small children, and they look ridiculous. They do not have to be dressed in "business attire", but they need to be appropriate. Let's start dressing, and start showing our kiddos that school is a very important place, and not a Walmart!
Carlotta Outley Brown, YOU ROCK! I admire you so much!
This woman bullied me in 4th grade under these same guidelines at peck elementary she talked about my hair and my clothes said I needed to go the beauty shop and wear nicer clothes because I was overweight. I'm in tears now seeing how she's still inflicting elitism and hatred to her own community. I was only a kid Ms brown! I'm still hurt that I was targeted in brought to your office to be mentally abused. You still haven't learned from your evil ways.
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT......no place for gutter trash in 2019. 🤔
what your parental unit has on their backs doesn't affect your academic performances. Like one of those parents said, they should be worrying about other things and not just fashion since it's a failing school.
NO NO NO NO! This is classist. This is authoritarianism gone amok! Plus this is a first world issue. Other countries focus on improving test scores and academics. Google this school, they have a lot of problems. Test scores should be their priority.
This is the beginning of improving test scores. It starts with parents being responsible and showing the kids the right example.
@@garibaldigallas8248 The parents who actually come to the school are already taking responsibility! This will only create barriers for lower income parents who want to be involved in their child's education
@@Offthagrid825 This has nothing to do with income. It's about responsibility. Children emulate what they see in their parents.
Amen.. someone give that principle a raise.
This is discrimination against women of color. This is also against U.S. Constitutional law. What will be this principal next big idea! I agree with the parent in the video footage. The way one's dress is point of view. That is a person individual right!
Turesa Hammond lol
How about let's evolve as a society and let our kid's explore their natural curiosity and wonderment about the world around them, instead of forcing them into a rigid and unforgiving environment that inadvertently teaches them to hate learning and blindly respect authority. Just a thought
I totally agree
