Article 3 - PANTS ON THE GROUND!

School officials at Northwestern High School, in North Carolina, lend out belts to students with saggy belts rather than punishing them right away. The administrators hope that this action will reduce the number of students referred to discipline, and make students realize how they dress. Previously, students would be written up and sent to the office if their pants sagged below their waste. Junior Joe Johnson says that students already wear belts on their sagging pants, and is unsure that the schools lending of belts will deter teens to pull their pants up. The principle of the school states that he is willing to do anything to give the students a chance to do something right.
