Lets make spaghetti straps okay and allow shorts to be shorter than your fingertips! Einstein Middle School students want to be comfortable and expressive when at school, especially in the hotter days. We think tank tops and shorts that are longer than the tip of your longest finger should be okay in warmer weather. Our new idea is called the Thumb Rule. The Thumb Rule allows shorts to be longer than the tip of your thumb when arms are relaxed and tank tops to be wider then your thumb. We understand teacher's thoughts about dress codes, and we understand why they think we should have them. The Thumb Rule respects that, but also makes our rules more realistic and middle school student approved! Sign our petition if you agree that the Thumb Rule should be made at EMS!
