Dress codes in schools are created to avoid problems in the classroom, but I have a real problem with children being required to tuck in their shirts. This will make low self-esteem problems even worse for children with weight issues, whether it be that they are overweight or too thin. If the uniform approach was created to avoid children being looked at as equal, this rule will undo any good that has been done. Any child who is self conscious about their weight might end up with much bigger issues such as eating disorders. If you agree that this rule should be changed, no matter what the reason, please sign this petition. Thank you!

so many kids struggle with body image issues already. why make it worse for them? let the kids wear their shirts untucked.

This is ridiculous. Kids need to focus on math and reading not worrying about whether their shirt is tucked in properly.

its cruel to make kids who are already insecure feel like they have to show off their body shape. let them be comfortable in school.

My daughter cries every morning because of this rule. It makes her feel so exposed and uncomfortable. Please stop this!

Schools should be worried about education not policing how a shirt sits on a kids waist. Absurd.
