[quote=Anonymous]My 3rd grade DD is in a uniform at school. She has a lot of choices but chooses a young-for-her-age jumper and Peter Pan collar blouse. I let her wear whatever during the rest of her time, and a lot of that is short cutoffs, boxy crop tops, and small tank tops. I don’t have to deal with the crop top at school issue, but it would be a hard no from me only because I see school as a kid’s work and a time to be professional. She also knows that I enforce a dress code for church, nice meals out, and family visits. Giving her leeway to wear whatever the rest of the time gives me the ability to enforce rules when I need to. I also had a mom who made me wear clothes that were opposite whatever current trends were. She was probably mentally ill but I remember all too well the humiliation of wearing knee-length bermudas during the short-short craze or Ann Taylor casual separates as an 8th grader. Crop tops won’t be a trend forever and are fine for after school.[/quote]
