one of my son's teachers said it fits the dress code, but I would guess it might be considered "Distracting" and he would be asked to change. To help promote our next Kilt Walk for Brain Tumor Awareness, he says he wants to wear it to school. Honestly, I would discourage it because I know 12 year old boys in the South can be mean about things they don't understand. We may stick to wearing the kilt to church on occasion.
