[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That really isn't the problem, IMO. The problem is that girls constantly push the envelope. We know they do.[b] Walk into Kohls and tell me it isn't tough to find age appropriate clothes for a 6th grade girl. Tight pants, tight, off the shoulder tops with spaghetti straps, crop tops...  [/b]It's just unnecessary. And girls (moreso than boys, bit boys too) try to outdo each other. If one girl is wearing "Juicy" (or insert brand name here) the next girl is going to try to compete. If one girl's skirt is short, the next girl's is going to be that much shorter and it becomes a who-has-what and the "haves" vs. the "have nots". Come on. You remember middle school. We all do. EVERYTHING is a competition. From what you wear to how much make-up and who got it first. I'd rather the focus of school be on the subject matter. Of course you can't make it all go away. School is school and that stuff is going to go on, but if we can take one variable out of the mix and give the teachers one less thing to focus on so that they can het back to TEACHING instead of POLICING why is that such a horrible thing? Kids can wear whatever they want on the weekends, after school, on vacations, and all summer long. They don't need to be parading around their "individuality" in school in order to use their brains. They should be able to show their individuality by using their minds and their voices. [/quote]

This is the truth!  Boys get normal loose t-shirts, polos and rugby shirts.  Girls get super tight T-shirts and super tight pants.  I didn't realize that 6th graders' parents were also against it.... I find it completely inappropriate for my 7-8 yr. old.  Target is better, but still it is hard to find non-body-hugging clothes for girls.  Unfortunately, I think Va. has a law that uniforms can never be mandatory in public schools.  I'd really like to see a change in this and have uniforms at my middle-class public school.[/quote]
