My wife & I were talking about this recently. I, of course, went to a school
with an official uniform (this was in Australia). One of her schools had this
as their dress code: "Shoes must be worn". That included sandals & thongs.

Anyone know about dress codes in schools in the San Francisco Bay area? That's
where we'll probably be living when we have kids in school.
