It's good to hear about highschool kids in kilts,being themselves and not following the crowd.
For some reason it makes me smile and think of A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash.I mean nothing disrespectful by that,it's just what pops into my head.Remember, laughter and humor are two of the greastest,yet most overlooked things in creation. :-D

once you manage to show up any "offenders" with an appropriate remark, it gets much better. I found I got the most questions about "why" from teachers more than anyone else.

And good on you, Ron, I for one respect those speeches, and they have made a major influence on my "extra-curricular" actvities, I think it's something that needs to be taught over, and over, and over.

I'm just gonna pipe up, here.

Jewddha, I bet you make your parents proud.

It definetly is easier going back to school while kilted, I really don't think that I would have the where with all that those who wear kilts to High School now do. I am glad that you guys are out there!

Hear Hear!! to the Jewddha compliment.

Funny, our local high school is becoming gated and fenced...conctruction about half done on those things. "Security" was everywhere...my latent fear was that some security guy, teacher, admin person would stop me an confront me about being a kilted 'stranger' on campus. Did have my work ID badge on. But never a problem. All I got from the adults on campus were smiles and directions when I got lost and asked. The few teachers I already knew and ran into just beamed when they chatted with me but never mentioned the kilt.

Jewddha, you are a very intelligent young man. A lot of younger people refuse to listen to those who have aquired that knowlege the hard way.
