Weapons can also be hidden in backpacks, lockers, cars, non-baggy clothing, taped to the body, etc. mu_agd told me a story about how in her middle school, backpacks were banned -- so some kid brought a knife to school in a teddy bear.
Banning wardrobe choices won't change the problem. Kids are a lot smarter than most of y'all give them credit for. They'll come up with new places to hide weapons if that's what they really think is important.
Also, if they're tripping on their clothes, that's their own damn fault! Why do we feel the need to protect kids (many of whom, in this case, are 13 years old or older and certainly are smart enough to comprehend that they might trip on their clothes) from any possible complication that could arise from their own choices?
Learning through experience isn't such a bad thing . . .
