[quote=Anonymous]Here is my middle schooler's school dress code:

Trousers and shorts are to be worn at an appropriate waist level without exposing the undergarments
Shorts and skirts are to be a modest length
Halter-tops, crop tops or other shirts that expose the abdomen or undergarments are prohibited
Clothing should be clean and in good repair. Torn, ripped or “raggedy” clothing is not permitted
Clothing depicting drugs, alcohol, tobacco, stereotyping, violence, obscene language of any kind or having sexual connotations in design or words is strictly prohibited
Hats, coats, scarves, bandanas, and heavy jackets are not to be worn inside the school building during regular operating hours
Appropriate footwear is required at all times
Jewelry with spikes or pointed ends is not permitted
Backpacks are to be stored in lockers during the school day

Some of these are really silly. What is a "modest" length, and who gets to define it? How come my daughter's well-developed friend got dress-coded for a shirt that had a cut-out at the back? How come my skinny daughter doesn't get dress-coded for her jeans that have a hole at the knee, or her jacket with a stain on it, or her T-back bra that shows at the neckline? How come my daughter's long-legged friend got dress-coded for a skirt that would have gone down to my daughter's knees?  What is "appropriate" footwear, and who gets to define it?[/quote]
