What's with these uneducated educators?

[starbkjrus]

btw, Starbkjrus, that may have been a little over the top, we're only assuming that, since other schools allow a looser dress code for young ladies, that this one would too. We've got to be careful not to insult the other student members by adding a moral value to our personal taste in clothing.

Archangel, Yes I knew it was over the top when I sent it but I am REALLY angry. The dress codes in the public schools in the States are absurd and IMHO the're aren't any that preclude young females from wearing things that show WAY to much. If a school DOES restrict the wearing of such then they are (or should be) very aware of diverse attire.

Again, as I've said my Partner of many years is a product of the Canadian Catholic School Board, the American Public School System and the AMES Private School Association so I speak from a bit of knowledge here. The kids wear VERY suggestive crap that is sanctioned by the PTA/parents thus the school in many ways has little choice. The problem being the parents for allowing the stuff. My post sort of singled out young women but it goes both ways and for that I stand corrected. A boy wearing baggy pants sagging to his knees or a girl wearing low rise jeans and a short tank top should equally be banned from school. THAT is distracting attire.

Rob, you have young children I think. What do you allow them to wear to school?

Also, Rob....I didn't mean to be rude but this kid is just that...a kid. I really don't think that we should be searching him out and sending any email at all. Think back to when you were 16 or 17...he's probably alread mortified at all the attention he is getting. Again, the principal!!, school board and media should be the targets for this.
