[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I can't believe how this blew up.

I teach at a middle school -- a well-respected middle school with high expectations for students from school and home alike.  Today I walked in behind a girl whose butt cheeks were revealed by her shorts.  Kids were doing double takes; I did a double take.  Our school dress code indicates that this is a body part that needs to be covered because not doing so can be distracting to others in the learning environment.  I followed our school's procedure for dress code violations (which I tend to err on the side of leniency, but this was a clear violation), and in my shock, posted on DCUM during my first period planning time.

Didn't mean to spark any sort of outrage, and largely agree that it would be nice if we lived in a society where all were kind to each other and people were free to express themselves how they please, but that's not the case in my public school.  So, to go back to my original point, parents, if you don't mind and in whatever philosophical way you want, it would be great if you could remind your children (sons, too!) of dress code expectations at this time of year.  It saves us all unnecessary hassle.  [b]And if you disagree with the need to cover rear ends when in school, thanks for the green light for me to start wearing my booty shorts to teach your kids.[/b]  (Just kidding.)[/quote]

This is what I was going to say to the poster who said something to the effect of "everyone should be free to wear whatever makes them most comfortable." I think it's ridiculous.[/quote]
