If there is a school district that has
a widely published and well understood rule;
and that rule is being broken in plain sight
and in blatant defiance of that rule;
at virtually every middle and high school;
with impunity
is that school district out of control,
or not?
Who's "in charge" at these schools;
the folks who write the rules,
or the folks who ignore the rules?
I wouldn't have to keep asking the same question
over and over again
if anyone in the entire leadership of the APS
would answer it just once,
candidly, forthrightly, and honestly.
this not about just "sagging"of course

Take a look, some have already made sagging illegal, but how to enforce?

Enforcement is easy; just turn them around at the door.
Once they know you mean it; really mean it, they will acquiesce.

Well said Ched. We used to do something like that 20 years ago at a south valley middle school. They were not allowed to run down the halls. If a teacher caught them running, they had to turn around and walk to the end of the hall, and walk back. It stopped them from that behavior. But that was when teachers and administration were on the same team. Both teachers and administrators were out on hall duty. Not any more. A friend of mine who floats was recently trying to get to her next class when she was run down by a group of girls and broke her wrist. Nothing happened to those girls and nothing will. The parents of one of those girls is well connected shall we say.
