kids' huge pants -- the origins of b-roll that would be inappropriately repurposed when covering a student's tragic death later that year and a discomfort in seeing "Students at -- High School are mourning today -" over video of grinning teenagers sporting their baggy pants. I remember one and only one "sending to the principal's" (or any sort of reprimanding) moment before this dress code push fizzled and faded (or for all I knew everyone reformed their attire and brought it into acceptance without me noticing), and now think puzzlingly at the (female) teacher's quip on the girl's prior male teacher not bothering on her frilly dress -- and from her I have a strong feeling that the teachers who made the dress code push were women, with the male teachers in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" spot on regulating girls' attire -- the issue of boys' pants needed for them, and there I have no clue whether the fact that that dominated the discourse on what was happening was by design or just an accident. I was caught on the thought of a student as example, and a coming to a rule that could be thought of as the "(name of student) rule", and a process on weighty deliberation on them specifically even as the student in question is gone from the place -- sort of wondered what my rule would be --
