Time for a rant about TPS

My daughter is captain of the varsity cheerleading team at a Toledo high school.
Earlier this year we were given the chance to buy her a warm up suit, school colors, with the school name and cheerleading on the back. No problem, we are proud of her accomplishments.
Fast forward to this morning. I get a call from her telling me she's not allowed to wear her warm up top because it doesn't have a collar. So I have to take her something else to wear. School pride used to be viewed as a good thing.

This type of thing is why all the new school buildings in the world won't help Toledo Public Schools. Apparently it's run by idiots.

Instead of identifying and dealing with disruptive INDIVIDUALS, they choose to institute a ridiculously strict set of rules which only causes kids to hate school. Is it any wonder they drop out?

One more thing, on game days, cheerleaders are allowed to wear their uniforms to school, but are required to wear long warm up pants under their skirts. I guess it's fine to show your legs at games in front of a crowd, but not at school?
Does anyone else find that hypocritical?

Rant over...for now.
