Kealing dress code states that shorts must be fingertip length and shirts must be fingertip length when worn over leggings. This dress code is unreasonable because it is very hard to purchase dress code shorts. When kids misbehave in a class, they have three referrals before detention, while kids who get dress coded only get 2. Instead of fixing an issue of inappropriate clothing, this dress code is creating a issue. We are suggesting that the shirts over leggings should be wrist length, while the shorts should be knuckle length. This is not unreasonable because the clothing would still be appropriate. Thanks!

Telling boys OR girls that they cannot express themselves freely in their choice of clothing is basically telling them that they cannot be theirselves, and that is NOT okay. Girls wearing shorts above mid thigh is not a DISTRACTION. if their parents let them walk out of the house looking like that then they are allowed to look like that. if you think boys will get "distracted" and will not be able to "learn", then maybe you should send the males at your school to a 7 hour seminar about respecting girls body and thinking of females as more than a sexual view.
