[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen some pretty slinky/revealing dresses at homecoming and prom.  [b]I was under the impression it was the parent's responsibility to make sure their child was dressed appropriately[/b]. Unfortunately, parents are not doing their job...so somebody has to do it.[/quote]

And so it is. Each parent has the job of making the decision for their child about the appropriateness of the child's clothing. To ensure that each parent has done their job, the school can require a signed form from each student attending the homecoming dance. I hereby certify that I do/do not (circle one) consider my child, Larlo/Larla, to be dressed appropriately for the homecoming dance, signed Larlo/Larla's parent. Students whose parents circled "do not" will be turned away at the door.[/quote]  [b]And, then the parents come and throw a fit. [/b] People who don't think the rules apply to them refuse to follow the rules and then refuse to follow the rules about not following the rules.[/quote]

About what? That the school set rules? In my opinion, if parents are going to throw fits no matter what rules you set, then you should at least set clear, objective rules that apply to all and that are directly related to the goal they are supposed to achieve. In the case of the OP's school, parents are going to throw a fit about an unclear, subjective rule that applies only to girls and  that is only directly related to the goal the school is trying to achieve, if the goal is to make it clear to girls that girls' bodies are subject to public inspection.

The parents get mad because they don't think their kid should have to follow the rules.  I think what some of you are missing is that school administrators have had to resort to these kinds of tactics because some of the clothing is truly questionable.  Like I said earlier, it isn't just some girl's collarbone that's showing; we're talking slits up to the exposed underwear, plunging backs that show ass cracks, short tops that barely cover the bottoms of the breasts.
