Well my parents thought I was staying up too late doing my homework. So in an effort to make me finish it faster, I must stay in my school uniform until I am done with all my homework, including studying for tests, and this goes for the weekend. I have to also keep my shirt tucked in and other school uniform rules. But that's the only rule. I'm free to go out with my friends or do whatever. But I'm starting to think this is unfair. First off, my mom goes as far as locking my closet until everything is done. Secondly, this includes projects. So if I have a paper due in two weeks, I have to keep my uniform on until I complete the paper. Lastly, my mom makes me study a minimum of 30 minutes for tests coming up within the week, and 1 hour for tests the next day (or even the following Monday). Therefore, I am stuck in my uniform usually all night Friday to study and finish all weekend homework, and sometimes all weekend if I have a big project not due for a while. Is this fair?

Is that even a punishment? You have to wear cloths.... Ooooooh. Thats threatening... Be thankful your punishment isnt taking the computer away, and its doing something for an hour longer that you already do 7 hours a day, 5 days a week anyway.
So just laugh at the rediculously childish punishment. Go out with your friends in your uniform, and be proud that you go to that school. Try to make everything funn! life is so much better that way.=)

Look, as parents we try to do the best we can, drawing on personal experience, outside advice and sometimes just a hope and a prayer. Your parents care enough about you to make this rule hoping it will benefit you in the long run. Maybe you could sit down with your folks and talk with them. Note, I said "talk" and not "whine." Don't tell them it's unfair, or that it stinks or that no one else has to do it. Let them know you understand why they chose to do this and ask if, after your next report card (which would have to be good) they could let you try again without the whole uniform thing. Then, don't give them reason to reinstate it! I know it seems harsh at your age. I grew up with no one giving a darn about how I did in school or what I would do after high school. Therefore, I slacked off and now I have kids of my own and have finally gone back to school to get more financially secure in life. Enjoy life. It sounds like you have a good one.

I don't think it's fair. After the next report card, if it's good, ask her maturely if the rule can be rescinded. Say you can go over rules like when and how much to study, you just want the uniform restriction lifted.
Some parents are over-bearing. Some aren't. My parents never freaked out about my grades... but I ended up going to college anyway. Explain to her that it's making you resent her and you're so frustrated it's harder to study, maybe? Good Luck!

I can understand the rule whilst hw is being done but it does seem to the extreme for projects etc......just a thought have your grades dropped really badly of late?
As I used to tell my kids I have my degree if you chose to do poorly then so be it......oh and shall I get you fitted out now for your burger king uniform.............usually worked enough for them to focus back in on what they was meant to do.
Regards and maybe you can work out a way of IF you get an "a' on such and such project could you at least NOT wear whilst doing the next one and see if they will relax the rules BUT of course state that IF you get a lower than a "b: back on it will go................

i think of this may be a enormously ingenius parental gadget. Kudos to them, besides the shown fact that i do no longer consider the try to the undertaking parts. That makes honestly no experience to me. The issues due day after on the instant, or maybe the subsequent college day (weekends blanketed) is particularly plenty honest. See in case you could consult with them with regards to the try deal. in the event that they see which you're no longer attempting to get thoroughly out of it, they may be slightly extra lenient with you. Manipulation isn't a foul element, if the two events attain their targets interior the top :) .

I think this is actually a good idea. It seems to be designed to help you keep in the school mindset. I would not be opposed to doing such with my children when they are old enough to attend school

As much as you are going to hate it yes it is fair. You need to be prepared for your future. As much as it sucks.your mom is trying to do something that will be good in the long run.

you got yourself into this in the first place.
try doing homework and assigments on time..and show your parents how responsible you've become and they might take this "punishment" away..and you'll be back to wearing normal clothes.
