ONE of Singapore's biggest private schools is cracking down on student dress, banning mini-skirts, flip-flops, dyed hair and visible tattoos, among a host of other things.

Even in uniform, also can be so sloppy that it is an eye sore. Just see those secondary school kids hanging around the hawker centers and shopping malls after school.

Medicine and healthcare politics in this country is just not ridding the root of the weeds, when the spring wind blows, we shall see the weeds blossom again. We need real professional who can and want to invest time to reflect in thinking through his own actions and sound judgement in his/her professional work.

For instance , how to cure the asthmatic with drugs when the real underlying cause is the victim is suffering chronic dehydration at cellular level? The remedy should BE INCREASE THE WATER INTAKE UP TO THE PERSONAL QUOTA ON DAILY BASIS. Details below, and more health remedies foud at http://theinnozablog.blogspot.com
ASTHMA AND ALLERGIESIt is estimated that 12 million children suffer from asthma , and several thousand die every year. Let us declare an end to asthma in less than five years . Let us save children from the constant fear of suffocation because they do not recognize they are thirsty for water ! Asthma and allergies are indicators that the body has resorted to an increase in production of the neuratransmitter histamine, the sensor regulator of water metabolism and its distribution in the human body. It is recognised that asthmatics have an increase in histamine content of their lung tissue and that it is the histamine that regulates the bronchial mucle contraction. Since one of the site for water loss through evaporation is in the lungs, bronchial constriction produced by histamine means less water evaporation during the act of breathing - a simple natural (by the human body) maneuver to preserve the body water. Histamine is an agent that, apart from its water regulatory role, has responsibilities in antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-foreign agents (chemicals and protein) defence systems in the human body. At a normal level of water content of the body, these actions are held at an imperceptive or unexaggerated level. At a dehydrated state of the body, to the point that the histamine activity becomes exaggerated for water regulation, an immune system activation of histamine-producing cells will release an exaggerated amount of the transmitter that is held in storage for its other functions. It has been shown in animal models that histamine production in histamine-generating cells will decrease with an increase in the daily water intake. No other fluid can be substituted for plain water. Both of these conditions should be regulated with an alert and determined increase in water intake. On average, these conditions respond after one to four weeks of waterregulation of the body. Mr. Peck, an asthmatic since childhood , who also became sensitive to all sorts of "allergens," is no longer in fear of these health problems. (His personnal letter is available for your viewing upon request. E-mail your me.)Mr. Paturis also testified to the fact that his wife's allergic condition became less problematic.Jose Rivera,M.D., had for years sufferedfrom allergies and asthma . He was severely allergic to cats. In fact, he would never go to a house where a catwas also kept. It seems he at one time got very sick after being exposed to a cat. As a result of using the new information about the relationship of dehydration to excess histamine production in the body , he has totally recovered from both of these condistions. To top it all, he now treats asthmatics with water and salt (sea salt).

so who is the 'greater community'? Are there more people in slippers than shoes? Have they actually interviewed the students to find out who are the 'Students who are ... put off or influenced by that.'

Frankly, I just think that as the staff would have a dresscode as they are there to WORK, they are jealous that students are dress so casually and comfortable.

p.s most of what women call shoes, are actually slippers...

I believe it is important to dress appropriately. Young people these days have lost their sense of dressing, from mini tight shorts/skirts to flip flops! It boils down to respecting self and others as well. If you go to school showing clevage and what have you, you are not only trying to distract others but you are also inviting trouble! I support MDIS on this move!

Slipper, flip flops I understand.

But dyed hair? What's wrong with that? These are teritary students, not JC or secondary school.
