So I'm just writing this to see what you guys think about this subject. The subject today; High School Dress Codes; enforced or not; effective or not. I don't really know much about any school i haven't attended but i know about the ones i have, and i know the "dress code" and "zero tolerance for breaking rules" isn't heavily followed in my school.
most schools dress code looks like this, including mine:
"Clothing to be worn as made to be - suspenders over the shoulders, pants secured at the waist, belts buckled.
·Bare midriffs and bare sides should not show, even when arms are extended above the head.
·Clothing normally worn when participating in a school sponsored extracurricular or sports activity may be worn to school ONLY when approved by the sponsor, coach, or principal. ·Clothing that is too tight or revealing is unacceptable Clothing with holes, tears, or inappropriate patches will not be allowed if considered obscene.Garments and/or jewelry which display or suggest sexual, vulgar, drug, alcohol or tobacco related wording/graphics, or may tend to provoke violence or disruption in school shall not be worn.Gang paraphernalia, jewelry, tattoos or other insignias/items which display, suggest, provoke or may tend to provoke violence or disruptions are not allowed.
Shoes shall be worn. The following are not acceptable- Thong, sandals, Cleated shoes, Backless shoes, Heeleys(shoes with wheels) Hats, caps, visors, sunglasses or bandanas,Chains hanging from the neck, belt, pocket or attached to a wallet, Jewelry that has any sharp or pointed areas.
Hemlines of shorts, dresses and skirts shall be no shorter than mid-thigh. Spaghetti strapped and tank top type blouses/dresses/ shirts. Night clothes such as pajamas, slippers, or boxers."
Now what they normally give you detention/ suspension in my school for:
"no clothes, see-through material, no shoes."
what they let you get away with:
"thongs, g-strings, mini-mini-skirts, tight tank tops, bare "midrift", short-shorts, bra/boxers/panties showing"

so my question here is, how many of you get pissed off when you're walking up the stairs to get to your locker or class (etc.) and the chick in front of you is wearing a really tight short skirt with no underwear/thong/g-string(etc.) and teachers don't say anything? i do!

please, please, please, comment and rate, tell me about your school and leave me any comments about anything you want to hear my write about! i do 3+/3- topics a day. thanks!
