[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently not.
My daughter said a girl in her class had on booty shorts with her thong pulled up high on her hips and a sports bra. Not just a mid-drift showing.

No one said a thing[/quote]

I don’t say this often but

where are her parents?[/quote]

Probably going about their business in the belief that what their daughter does is more important than what their daughter wears. Evidently your opinion is different.[/quote]

That’s what some people use to deflect, but the reality is people judge you by how you look and what you wear even before you have a chance to demonstrate who you are. Plus, women with legit confidence and intellect don’t typically dress inappropriately.

For me, I think our schools have simply lost control. Kids need rules and structure as they develop. It should be easy to set standards and enforce rules, yet our schools seemingly have subpar standards. [/quote]

If you want to be a person who judges women based on how much skin their clothes expose or don't expose, go right ahead, that's your choice.[/quote]

No.. I do! And men too! People who haven't learned to dress appropriately for the situation are immature, at best.[/quote]

High school isn't a 'professional' setting. It's very social. It's very formative. What they wear has no impact on learning. And a lot of their choices are tied to cultures you don't understand and don't need to. I don't mean ethnically, although there is that too. Let them have their fun.

And fwiw, have you ever seen what kids wear at the really elite privates? St Ann's? Sidwell? Germantown Friends? [/quote]

I went to a private school and wore a uniform. If I was out of uniform, the dean of discipline pulled me aside. There were consequences. [/quote]
