It’s pretty stressful for girls, although many will just wear dresses and they are fine.

But really I think the outrage is just a feeling that so many moms of girls complained and they don’t seem to care.

The girl vibe at the MS is a problem.[/quote]

So to me this speaks to issues with the parents, not the schools.  The school is trying to manage dress for middle schoolers who are often the most aggressive at pushing boundaries.  It’s the only division at Potomac school that is required to wear a uniform and there is a good reason for it.  Shorts are SO  short, crop tops are so short. Skirts barely cover butts, bras are hanging out.  It’s not appropriate and yet girls wear it all and parents allow it.  Yes… it makes shopping a little harder and the girls can’t wear exactly what they want to wear but that is the point.  So the parents gripe.  But the school standing by its decision is completely appropriate.  If parents want the Wild West, go to public.[/quote]

My DC went to SSSAS for middle school, and I can guarantee that this is the issue. The boys had a limited dress code that was pretty much a uniform (basically khaki pants/shorts and polo shirts) and the girls were wearing whatever they wanted, including very skimpy tops. Sounds like they're trying to define something reasonable that keeps the girls from wearing sports bras to school. If the parents don't like it, they should have done a better job of overseeing what their girls were wearing before. [/quote]

No, the girls are still allowed to wear whatever dresses they want. They can be as short as they want and as low cut as they want and as long as they don’t have spaghetti straps it’s fine.

But if they want to wear pants or shorts, they have to wear a polo.

Explain that logic to me?[/quote]
