[quote=Anonymous]While the principal could have just said "students" instead of "girls" or "boys" (because yeah, boys can wear sandals and girls can wear tank tops with too-large armholes)....like an earlier poster, the word choice isn't a hill to die on.

And the message seems to be getting lost on OP and some other posters.

Shoes: The principal wants kids to wear shoes that actually stay ON the feet so that kids aren't tripping, scraping up their feet and getting stabbed by mulch on the playground. And before you say, that doesn't happen, because it's never happened to MY kid--it does happen; flip-flops, sandals, crocs, slides, etc. all are horrible when kids start running and playing in them. (I once took a group of kids on a hike and after being specifically told in advance that they had to come in closed shoes, no Crocs or sandals, of course two came in Crocs and complained when twigs and mulch got into their shoes almost immediately.) Clothes: The school gets chilly inside even in the height of summer and that's distracting for students, so their parents need to be aware of what school is actually like indoors and send kids with something to wear when it's chilly (and I would say, sundresses and sleeveless tops on girls OR boys is just a bad idea when they'll be in AC all day long). That wasn't about covering up kids' bodies because they're distracted by each others' looks, it was about helping kids not be distracted by being cold.
