Which is...

"Dress" as in a dress, or "dress" as in elegant clothes?

The former is not usually meant to apply to boys and also does not apply to skimpy tops and bottoms girls might wear, so it's too narrow.

The latter at least targets everybody. But it's still stupid. I would send in a photo of a ridiculous outfit and come dressed in my real dress.

The problem is that people allow their kids dress like a Kardashian. In my area, the catholic schools issue some dress requirements.

As I tell my kids, stupid school rules are usually the result of A) someone's really stupid action B) Someone getting hurt C) A pita complaining or D) a combination of the three.

Stupid school rules are the result of school administrators making stupid rules. School administrators were not forced to make this rule. A skimpy dress is a skimpy dress, not a gun to the head.

Nope.

Running a school (or any other kids activity) is like organizing a wedding with 2000 mother in laws, each with different ideas on how things should be done.

This rule is a result of trampy mom who things a sexy tramp dress is a great idea for her 14 year old daughter to wow everyone at homecoming.

I bet the dress that sparked this rule was a doozy.

No way they're asking the boys to send in a picture of their suits to make sure they're dressed elegantly for the occasion.

Why?

And even if they did, what made them decide to do it in such a stupid way?

Yup. You could just publish a list of rules, and tell anyone that if their clothing violates the rules they won't be allowed in. Preclearing everyone's dress is stupid and unnecessary.

My mother works at a high school that did what you suggested. Girls showed up in dresses that they knew weren't allowed. One girl had a 2 piece outfit that was clearly in violation because her entire midriff was exposed, plus some, and was denied entry. She called her mother who showed up and made a huge scene and the police were called. I think administrators are trying to prescreen clothing so that the fight can happen before the event rather than AT the event.

Agreed. Some of the girls at Homecoming last year could hardly sit down because their dresses were so short their crotches were exposed. Why is there any argument that aside from going to work in the sex industry, it isn't a good idea to wear dresses that expose your crotch, even if you're not anywhere near boys?

What if the school administrators just let the parents make the decisions about their children's homecoming attire?

Job done.

Umm...pretty sure if parents were doing their job, this wouldn't have been implemented.

Everyone has different ideas of what is appropriate.
