[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quick question for the parents of girls being dress coded. Are girls who are not rail thin targeted more often for dress code violations? That was the case when I was a kid. It was the girls with bodies who were told that their bodies were a distraction. In a school and culture where thinness, whiteness, and wealth are rewarded, dress code is just another place where girls who don’t fit the ideal mold are targeted. This can be very triggering for parents of girls who don’t want to see their daughters targeted for something outside of their control. [/quote] My daughter (at MS) has complained that girls have worn the exact same things and one will be dress coded and the other not. It’s not just thinness that’s rewarded, though, it’s looking younger. Sixth grade families are less annoyed imo because their girls aren’t being scrutinized to the same extent the 8th grade girls are (more developed = more scrutiny = more punishment). [/quote]
