Apparently we have a new shoe policy. They claimed to have sent notes out at the end of last year, and they did, but the way I understood it was that you had to wear lace-up shoes. So I wore the same shoes I always do.
We were walking into the hall alphabetically to get our timetables, when I was stopped by the deputy and informed that I would have to buy leather shoes, rather than my canvas ones.
I said "uhh, okay." and made my way to my seat.
During the assembly, a group of kids were addressed, those who were stopped at the door. Apparently we're no longer allowed to wear anything but leather shoes. This is because the school will get in shit if we happen to march into the industrial arts room and a piece of their equipment somehow manages to fall on our feet.

But I am not made of money and I can't really afford shoes that WOULD protect my feet against heavy material. They stated that they're prepared to send kids home if they're not wearing correct shoes - what the fuck is that?
First of all, most of us don't even take any industrial art classes - why don't they just have a shoe policy for the specific classrooms that could be threat?
Secondly, who's to say leather shoes will protect our feet completley? It may help but it sure as hell won't protect the rest of us.

So I think, if I'm stopped again, I'm going to ask them to pay my mum the required amount of money for leather shoes, and if they really want to, they can deny my education because my feet are covered by canvas (some kids were wearing canvas and weren't stopped. They weren't Converse, however, so I guess the teachers didn't notice.)

I'm not completley satisfied so I'm hoping someone will say something agreeing with the school so I can swear at them like no tomorrow.

It's a public school. Most of us have lost our virginity by 13.

seems like they would just have that requirement for the people taking those classes. tell them they can stick their leather shoes up their ass. also, I dont see how leather protects any better than canvas. steel toed shoes would make more sense.

I mean, whoever came up with that regulation probably never finished high school. That's the most laborious (and ineffective) way of preventing classroom related injuries, there probably is a hidden reason as to why they decided to go all-leather.

Also, you could tell them that your religion forbids you from wearing leather shoes.

I go to a public school and they don't enforce that shit. Well, it's not like we have proper uniform anyway.

But it's an "OHS" thing. Except when I did Food Technology (TAS subject that had to enforce that rule) I would wear normal schools and bring the black leather lace-ups in my bag.

I could say I'm Hindi and hence not allowed to wear real leather shoes.
Actually since I'm a "Vegetarian" I'm not very much happy about that either. But I'd get synthetic leather anyway.

I can understand why they'd do it for the subjects that need it, sure. I just don't understand why we have to wear them regardless.

Well, we're a pretty respected community, Shag. We don't just shoot our virginities out of guns here.
