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

[b]High school is, indeed, a professional setting.[/b] You can tell this is true because "student" is often listed as a selection on forms. I always tell my children that being a student is their job. Sad that you do not. Please name a culture where showing your tits  in school is comprehensively important to the culture. [/quote]

Indeed it is, for the professionals who are employed there.

While you may tell your children that being a student is their job, you are presumably not compensating them for their school time with wages or filling out 1099 forms for them, or paying payroll taxes or unemployment insurance, or hiring/firing them at will or for cause. [/quote]

Good one )

Also, obsessive modesty mom, no one is showing their tits. Except, perhaps, some of the chubbier boys at swim practice. No, I'm not fatshaming. That was just a tasteless joke.

Teaching kids not to be ashamed of their bodies or their appearance is probably at least as valuable as teaching them Chemistry or Algebra. If your son is troubled by the sight of a girl's bosom or legs the fault isn't hers. It's not your son's fault either. Or yours. But it will be healthier for everyone if he learns how to deal with that, and how the bosom and legs are also a person. You can teach someone to be modest in their OWN dress. If you want them to live in the outside world it would behoove you to teach them not to care what other people are wearing. [/quote]
