Parents need to take responsibility

Dear Editor,

It is the parents'/guardians' responsibility to ensure that students get the uniform specifications from schools, and see to it that the uniform is made accordingly. If the adults fail to do this, then they are the ones who are responsible for any harm that the child may encounter when he/she is prevented from entering the school and sent home.

Everyone must understand and accept that it is the principal, along with his/her board, who runs the school. They must be willing to bear the consequences for attempting to usurp the school's dress code and rules. The school is only responsible for the care and protection of students after they enter the school's perimeter fencing. This is how the transfer of responsibility for students work.

Ergo, it is only an irrational excuse for unruly minded adults citizens to say that it is the schools' administrators who are to be blamed for any harm of students who were recently locked out of school due to improper uniform.

Students need to learn from early that it is the same way they will be locked out of work and other buildings if they refuse to abide by the dress code and rules.
