A Florida school board member wants parents who pick up their children to pick up their pants, too.

Rosalind Osgood, the Broward County board member, said enforcing any dress code inside the classroom is especially difficult when there are parents showing up at school dressed in hair curlers, pajamas and saggy pants that hang below the waist, The Sun Sentinel reported.

She admits that there would be challenges enforcing such a dress code, but offered a few ideas that might help parents support the idea, like staging a fashion show.

“If we’re going to train little boys and little girls to dress appropriately at school, no sagging pants, no hair curlers, no short shorts. Parents should follow the same rules,” Osgood said last week.

A column in the Miami Herald poked fun at Osgood’s initiative, “Schools have dress codes for students because they spend the entire day there. My fuzzy bunny slippers will not interfere with their learning.”

We can all remember being in school and seeing parents who showed up dressed any kind of way whether they were our own parents or those of our classmates, so there’s no doubt that the kids are probably all for this parental dress code.

But do you think it goes too far for school administrators to tell parents how they can and can’t be dressed on school grounds?
