HTT: Graphic T's
I saw this article and thought it would make a good HTT, and maybe liven things up around here.

I'm also SS. I come from the teacher perspective on this one.
Yes, they are funny. Do I think a girl is going to hate math because of her shirt, no. She probably already did which is why she bought the shirt. I don't really think they are sexist either because they make boy shirts that say things like, "I'm with stupid". How is that any different?
For that matter why not ban Justin Beiber or Hannah Montanta shirts?
Our school went to standard dress this year (solid polo's, khaki or navy bottoms). It's much nicer.

Personally, I hate them. I do not agree with anything that tells girls it's okay to be stupid.
But, I'm not for banning them. I wouldn't wear them, and if I had a child, I wouldn't allow her to wear them, but I'm not going to stop other people from doing it.

No. It shouldn't be banned...but I think it is lame.
The I'm too pretty do homework one pisses me off though.
I've been thinking about this because the issue bugs me. I really think people are attributing too much power to the "messages" on these shirts.
If you have a kid who's inclined to do homework and get good grades, a shirt isn't going to change that. There won't be some "light bulb" moment where the kid thinks, "Hey! I can give all this up and get by on looks!" And if you have a kid who's already hating school and avoiding homework like the plague, this shirt isn't going to be the big encouragement to keep along that path... and a lack of the shirt isn't going to straighten the kid out.
Attitudes about school and life are formed by parents, siblings, and to a lesser extent friends, not clothes.

Ding ding ding! That's exactly what I was saying. If the kid hates school, they already did before they bought the shirt. While I don't necessarily like the shirts and wouldn't encourage my child to wear one, I really don't think it's a big deal. I had a student who wore a shirt that, "My sister did it". I'm pretty sure that by wearing that shirt he didn't think he was actually getting away with anything. In fact, the kid was a straight A kid who got along well with his sister.
With that being said, If a student actually SAID to me - I'm too pretty to do my homework then I'd being having a conference with the student and parent ASAP and probably the school counselor if necessary.
Why are we pointing fingers at a t-shirt instead of looking at the whole picture? Does the parent help the kid at home and instill good study habits in their child? God forbid a parent take responsibility for that when we can blame it on a tshirt.

All of this.
I really think people have way too much time on their hands. Are they really starting a petition over this? It reminds me of the Bart Simpson t-shirt outrage back in the day, but at least there was foul language to ignite that fire.
