[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids had a good experience Swanson when she was principal, but I have boys, so I never had to deal with her dress code nonsense[/quote]

That is not nonsense.  The lack of dress code enforcement anywhere in APS is ridiculous.  [/quote]

Huh? Girls are getting dress coded daily. [/quote]

Not at Yorktown![/quote]

Best thing I've ever heard about Yorktown[/quote]

Ok- I’ll bite.  WHY shouldn’t there be a dress code??[/quote]

DP, but girls are dress coded because they "distract" boys. Boys are RARELY dress coded unless wearing things like shirts with overtly sexual/inappropriate content. Dress codes are traditionally unfairly target girls and are used to body shame them. We need to stop this mentality that girls are to blame for poor boy/male behavior.[/quote]

I’m sorry, but I disagree.  Girls are getting dress-coded more often because they are more often dressed inappropriately.  Not comfortably, either.  Not for themselves, but, I’d argue, for attention from boys, which is sad to see happening.  Regardless, school is a place of learning, and a reasonable dress code (for all students) should be enforced.   [/quote]
