[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dress your kid appropriately, without T&A or their junk hanging out and you won’t have a problem. You know this. Unfortunately there are families who don’t get it, so the principal needs to spell it out. Yes, even in elementary school.

If you don’t understand why an adolescent girl falling out of her top or a guy wearing spandex pants distracts from the learning environment, I can’t help you.

Stop trying to be offended about everything and focus on working with the school. [/quote]

I, for one, wish my daughter's middle school admin would put their money where their mouth is and actually dress code more kids.  They will occasionally dress code someone, just to make a point, but if they did it regularly to show they mean business, parents would have a much easier time at home, policing what our kids wear (or want to wear) to school.  If they saw their classmates actually getting in trouble for wearing inappropriate clothing, then they wouldn't insist on wearing it themselves.  [/quote]

Ahhh.  But the power of being the parent is that you can insist that they don’t.  Come on— it is ultimately your job as a parent to make sure your kid dresses appropriately.  Not the schools. [/quote]

Yes, obviously.  And I do make sure my kids are dressed appropriately.  However, what I'm saying is that if the school would actually [i]reinforce [/i] their rules, it would make what we're trying to accomplish at home much easier.  The kids wouldn't argue about what to wear because they would know it simply wasn't allowed at school.
