New School Dress Code

[scooterbug44]

What do people think of the new school dress code?

I don't have kids, so I don't know how it is being received, I just know I like that the school is finally making rules so the girls aren't dressing like prostitutes.

I'm constantly amazed at the clothes being marketed/sold to kids! Sad when lingerie from Victoria's Secret has more coverage than clothes for 10 year olds.

Like the shorts which have "JUICY" written on the butts to make you look at their butts. Then, after you look to read it, you realize that you are looking at a 14 year old. That ain't right. ...and just what is "PINK" written across someones butt supposed to insinuate?

I like it. Of course, I have a son, so it's not hard to comply as long as his shirts have sleeves and he isn't .

For the girls, I like it, as he isn't nearly as distracted as he could be.

PINK is the "junior/fun/cotton" section of Victoria's Secret. I am sure there is a double meaning.

Not a fan of writing on one's butt whatever the age!

We always loved when the girls where in programs with uniforms. It made mornings allot easier.

Since I have kids in high school I think it is great that they have done this. When we got the new principal at SWHS , it was my understanding that he would not allow any midriffs showing, no underwear seen (male or female), No short skirts/ shorts etc. But when picking up my kids everyday I saw more skin coming out of that school that on the streets of Amsterdam. I mean I personally would have never let my daughter in the car to go to school much less out of the car AT SCHOOL if she was dressed like some of these girls. And I SAW parents doing this.Hopefully they will stick to it and not let if slack off like they have the last few years. But even in this first week I have seen mini skirts that dont come ANYWHERE NEAR girls knees. So we will wait and see....

I work with kids a lot, and over the years I've found that as much as they will whine and moan about how ugly uniforms are, the large majority of them like not having to deal with clothes choices on a day-to-day basis. A lot of a young girl's day gets eaten up by whether or not she wore the wrong thing that morning...

It's not that radical of a uniform policy- very common sense. No spaghetti straps (which means no tank tops with built in bras - which don't work if the tank top is 3 sizes too small), no sagging pants, no thongs/boxers hanging out- basically, the principal said he doesn't want to see underwear, period.

Jodi, I am with you. Some of these girls are ridiculous. And really- we are trying to teach our teen boys about respecting women and dealing with raging hormones, so how are we supposed to teach them not touch the girls that are advertising their "stuff" on the butts? The parents of the girls that dress this way might as well put their daughters on a silver platter and say "here ya go".:angry: As a parent of a boy, this is infuriating.

Unfortunately, look no further than the magazines those girls read. Seventeen, Cosmo, etc.

It's not the magazines, it's everywhere. I read those magazines when I was younger and still know what is and is not appropriate.

I am constantly amazed by the clothes parents allow their kids to wear. If it shows so much skin I wouldn't wear it to a bar or club, why are you letting your 12 year old wear it to school?
