NOTE TO SELF: EDUCATORS SHOULD STICK TO...EDUCATION
Here we go again. There used to be a time when schools and educators relegated themselves to expanding student's knowledge. It appears that they're also getting involved in fashion choices.
School officials at Lincoln Middle School in Meridien, Conn. have banned hooded sweatshirts, citing that they violate the dress code policy. While the district's Board of Education dress code policy does not specifically ban this piece of clothing, it does now allow head gear, which presumably includes sweat shirt hoods.
"The hooded sweaters, and some of the hooded shirts that are out, all those are excluded. If you're in the stores shopping, that's all there is -- everything is hooded," said parent Cheryl Tomassetti.
School officials said they decided to ban the shirts after some students were spotted wearing hoods over their heads in school hallways and classrooms. Officials said that hoods are sometimes used by students hiding headphones.
Makes a person wonder how far the arm of educators should extend, especially when it comes to the choice of clothing. If it was for safety purposes officials would be justified but headphones?
The ban will go into effect after winter break.
From Publishers Weekly online: "Author Liam Callahan worked up a sweat at an unusual event promoting his new novel, All Saints, in Glendale, Wisc. Callahan visited the local Le
Sports Club where he combined a signing with a spin class."
And it shows a very sweaty author, surrounded by other sweaty participants, still on their bikes. He's signing an autograph.
Pros: It did get him to be PW's picture of day. Probably helped it wasn't the usual "author standing with bookstore owner" or "authors from panel standing with moderator" photo.
Cons: Unless the main character is a big spinner, what does this have to do with the book?
Note to self: what other weird possiblitites for signings are there? Laundramats? Doctor's waiting rooms?
