[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I wear leggings all the time - under a tunic or dress,  often with boots. I would never teach class in form fitting leggings and a short top. I will also tell you these girls have zero to burgeoning body awareness and that's fine. I usually see utter cluelessness from.kids at this age in their fashion choices. It's much more about what parents allow/dont allow than about their fragile self images or perceived body shaming. This sounds much more like your issue than your daughters, though now you've made it hers :(.  Since parents will obviously allow a spectrum of clothing, it's fine - actually desirable - for a school to set a standard. Dress codes are never perfect and hopefully the school will treat it discipline wise as a community 'goal' ( ie gentle reminders, not suspensions) . It's amazing how few parents understand that dress guidelines take the pressure off, rather than put it on. There is ample time outside of school for your kids sartorial splendor to shine. Take heart.[/quote]
