[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not even about people not wanting to see it. I have daughters and I don't care how long legged and cute they are; [b]they are NEVER wearing tiny shorts to school on my watch[/b]. Things like that are the difference between kids with a good upbringing and kids who weren't brought up well. Do I want my adult daughters showing up to work in a skimpy sundress or attending a black tie event in casual clothing? No. That kind of education begins when they are young; it's teaching them how to properly present themselves in social situations. They can wear a bikini to the pool and play clothes when they're playing but they will know how to dress appropriately when it is required- and yes, it is required for school, which is an environment that deserves respect. If you don't instill in your kids things like this, you really do them a disservice. And it does reflect poorly on you as a parent. [/quote]

OK. But there is a big difference between your rules for your kids (or my rules for my kids) and a school's rule for its students.[/quote]

In fact, on another thread (in the general education forum, I think), somebody was saying that their school's dress code, dating back to the 1970s, is something like: students must wear clothing their parent(s) approved of. With an exception for offensive messages on T-shirts, that works for me.[/quote]
