It is a little hard for me to truly comment on this because at my kids' school, pirate dress -whilst not "common" is not unseen and would not be disruptive. nor would any other outfit. Something really unusual might form a topic for discussion/research, but I can't say I think that's a bad thing. My son went dressed as superman one day (my shy retiring son). For no other reason than he wanted to. The class had impromptu lesson about flight and whether/how a person (not necessarily human) could really do it. And he fell between sofas and bumped his head and learned that dressing the part only goes so far..... And they discussed Krypronite and rocks that look like it. He's second grade. there's a lot to be said for Open Schooling.....
