School dress codes

[All I Ask2003]

Okay, does anyone else have ridiculous school dress codes?  Not uniforms, but dress codes.

This year, it's being enforced that girls must wear collared or crew-neck shirts only (NO boatnecks, either).  If collarbone is exposed, you will be "written up".

If you wear a collared shirt, it can only be unbuttoned two buttons at most.  

All shirts must cover your beltloops or a belt must be worn.  If the lenght of your t-shirt goes past your wrists, you have to tuck in your shirt.

Shorts must be 4 inches above the knee.  Dresss and skirts must be 2 inches above the knee.

No sunglasses on campus, including the parking lot (I don't know how they would be able to know if we wore sunglasses driving to school, which we should to protect our eyes anyway.)

No hats, bandanas, or "head paraphinalia (sp?)."

It's only the fourth year that our school has existed and I think our dress code is getting out of control.  I really think we should just get uniforms because it's so much easier for everybody, and it's a lot cheaper.  That way kids don't have to have a separate "school wardrobe" and "weekend wardrobe."  

Anyone else have problems like this?

Sounds like your school got taken over by an elementary or middle school principal.

Everyone hates this woman; the parents and the staff.  There's rumors that she's been in an issue of Hustler years ago :lol:  I'm not buying that at all.

OMG. Scream, run, and never look back.

[LimeTwister]

yeahhhhhhhhh,

if no one does that...then it can't really be enforced.

[Grakthis]

I don't know.  Sounds fine to me.  It's pretty loose considering what the dress code was at my HS.

Long sleeve button up shift, tie, belt, dress shoes.  Jacket or Sweater in the winter.  Dress pants.

No hair touching your collar, must be clean shaven and must meet the general standards of the dean.

We don't have that problem at my school. You can dress like a sl*t and it's fine. Well, just don't show too much.  

It's kind of sad to tell you the truth... they don't really enforce the dress code.

Ours is strict. We have to wear our top buttons done up with a tie. Its choking

This is going to be my senior year and the first year ever that our school has resulted to wearing uniforms!
I am not happy with it. I feel that you should be able to express yourself freely and one of the ways in doing that is to dress independently. I feel as if we're being categorized into one group and I like to be looked at as an individual.

well we don't wear uniforms. We still have a dress code but nothing to extreme you just cant show up all sluty or all whatever but I never really hear anything of like the way to dress for school at my school.

[cassiemoy]

rawr. like whoa. =/ i don't believe we have a dress code. it's like... "use common sense." and i think the only thing mandated is ... shoes. o_o;; i mean, i've seen the swim team guys hanging around shirtless during school hours. not by the pool, either. mmm. and when halloween rolls around- some of the costumes are very blush-worthy.

To the OP - this is a public school? If so, then holy crap.
