Parents take to social media for child wearing school inappropriate clothing?

I have mixed opinions on dress codes.

As a girl, I was subjected to the standard public school dress code growing up: shorts and dresses had to be fingertip length, straps on tops had to be two fingers width, and stomachs and cleavage couldn't show. We also had rules for the boys about wearing their pants too low or wearing see through tank tops or offensive images or references to drugs/alcohol/gangs etc etc.

I think a big problem with parents is that for younger teens (mostly the ladies) it is extremely hard to find clothes (shorts and dresses mainly) that follow the dress code. They are almost always too short. Obviously it would be unreasonable to send kinds to school in long pants all year round because schools suck at HVAC and climate control, so what is a parent to do? I think its incredibly frustrating (I know it was for my mother) to FINALLY find some shorts for your daughter that are just about the right length only to have your daughter sent home because they were an inch too short.

As for like crop tops and leggings or whatever that people wear that blatantly go against school rules, WHY people WHY??? If your schools says no leggings unless something covers your butt, why would you blatantly not follow the rule??? Pretty sure you'd be hard pressed to find a school ANYWHERE that allows crop tops, there's no excuse for that.

So all in all, I guess I think dress codes are necessary but can go too far. For example, wearing a two finger width strap on my shoulder instead of a spaghetti strap seems pointless, a two finger strap covers about 3 square inches more of my shoulder than a normal strap. But I definitely feel uncomfortable when people show up to class with their butts hanging out of their pants and drug references on their shirts.

Some parents think rules only apply to other children or when convenient. Others think their children deserve special treatment or exceptions to the rules. They are probably just seeking attention. If parents have a legitimate concern about clothing rules, they need to be brought up in the appropriate ways through the school.

Some parents are irresponsible. Some parents don't like to admit that they are wrong. It is often down to bad parenting but these parents don't like to admit that they aren't doing a good job of looking after their children. After all a good parent would not want their child to be sent home because they were wearing the wrong clothes. They would make sure that their children were suitably dressed before they left for school.

Don't worry about it. You are going to meet people all through your life who don't take responsibility for their actions. You don't have to have them as friends.

All I see is a rant. What is your question?
