It has everything to do with it. For the occasion? What occasion? Driving or walking your children to a street which has a building on it in which they go in to learn? Whoopdee-****ing-doo. They aren't attending the Oscars, this isn't The Ritz, it's a bloody school.

People should be able to wear whatever they want, wherever they want...and it's the place of no one else to tell them otherwise. I would also apply this to school uniforms if it weren't for the prevention of bullying that it provides.

'Setting an example' should be explaining to children the importance of and enjoyment that can be sought from learning and being educated, and encouraging them to get the most out of their experience, not 'you should wear this here', 'you shouldn't wear that there' like these man made ~rules~ about what material things that sit on your body should be at all important and have any impact on your contribution to the world
