Flip-flops are less secure than normal shoes and as such, much more likely to see you involved in an accident. You are under the loco-parentis of your school, which means they have a massive obligation towards your general well-being and safety; as a public organisation, that obligation comes with the risk of your actual parents suing them out of existence should they fail in those duties. They are, therefore, rather risk-adverse and quite understandably so, if I do say so myself. Flip-flops are a risk, ergo, not to be worn on school property.
