[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was a trend when I was in junior high and high school 25+ years ago - it's nothing new.  And I'm annoyed that schools ban it, particularly when the rule is applied only to girls.  What kind of message does that send?  It may not be a great look for some, but unless it is affecting their performance, why do you care?  [/quote]

The trend back then involved big, long shirts that covered the butt when wearing leggings.  [/quote]

The first poster on this one, and no, long shirts weren't the style, at least where I lived.  Leggings were just leggings, usually worn with a sweatshirt that definitely didn't cover the rear.  And Uggs, always Uggs.  I'm with the poster who asked why the body shaming, particularly since most of the dress codes are primarily directed at girls?  Yeah, the look may not be the most attractive, but again, if it's not affecting the performance of the student in question, why do you care?  If it's "distracting" to another student, that's the other student's problem. [/quote]
