IS this really inappropriate for a jr high school kid to wear to school?

The outfit actually looked appropriate to me; especially given the fact that it was 86F (30C) and the AC in the junior high was not working well outside of the front office. How could I be so blind as to have missed the fact that my daughter was dressed as a harlot, and presented a danger to all the boys in the school? I read "Great Expectations" once. Just because the school might champion some Dickensian imagery does not mean they must bow to them all. What vile boy-crushing monster had my daughter become, and why couldn't I see it?
I began to think : "Luckily the school administration can look at her and see her as a provocative female," but then I thought... no... that is extremely creepy. I tried to think: "Luckily the school administration can look at her though the eyes of hormone-addled teenage boys to see her as provocative," but then I thought... no... that is weird-creepy.

Seriously!? People dress like this at work. I don't understand how this is in anyway inappropriate. Are they pissed she's not dressed in a burqa?
These people have way too much time on their hands.

ZERO BONG!

What momma is not telling us is that the daughter had the skirt hiked up to where the belt looked like one of Michelle's "boob belts'.
-
She's dressed fine, as long as she doesn't bend over and fall out of her shirt...
My daughter wouldn't wear something this low in the front as a freshman in high school, but I'm sure other kids her age would.
-
Her shoes are kind of offensive.
-
Looks pretty ordinary in the pic, maybe a transparency issue, looking at the hem of the skirt. The top looks fine in the pic, too, but in the flesh may have looked different.

With that blindfold on, how's she supposed to see the blackboard?

Blackboard is on my list of banned words. It's "chalkboard".

Do they still have blackboards and chalk?

Oh how horrorable, no airconditioning. I went to grammar, jr. high, high school, college and college summer school with no air conditioning and no fans with tempertures of 100 degrees some days.....and the girls looked better than that.

A/C is really nice, but people were a lot tougher (and thinner) before it entered every home and business.
-
Compared to what I see kids wearing at my daughters high school...that's pratcially a nuns habit.
-
One thing is for sure. She has the liberal, curmudgeon, facial expression down pat.
-
I think that the outfit is cute and appropriate for most school dress codes, so I have to wonder if she was wearing it differently with the skirt hiked up, if the principal was over-reacting too it, or if there is a straight out lie somewhere in the story. I would like to know what the school rules say, it is possible that skirts must hit the top of the knee or lower, in which case, yeah, this skirt might be a little short. That rule might be a little strict, but if that is what the rules are, then the school was in the right.

Guess my age is showing again. :sad1:

Our schools in Las Vegas close down until the A/C is fixed when the temperature is above 93 degrees and the inside temp is above 88 degrees. Something like that...
I understand in the dead heat of summer, but come on people, buy a few fans.

Yeah, I don't see the problem either. The rule on skirts/shorts in my girl's school is fingerlength ie when their arms are down by their side , the skirt must fall no higher then the fingertips--for most girls that midway between knee and hooha. On tops, no overabundance of cleavage and no strapless or spaghetti straps.
I don't see the problem with what she's wearing either unless the skirt is perhaps sheer and she thinks wearing a slip of some kind is old fashioned. :whatever:

OH for all that were not even born in the Kenedy era.
Before Pantie hoes no less.
Rose Kennedy was reported to have had a fit with the length of Jackie's skirts. Story is she objected to Jackie's skirts as when she bent over from the back Rose could see Jackie's garters.
As I look back I cannot remember a time when my skirts did not hit the top of my knee. [ or my own mothers ] Grandmothers skirts came to just below the knee.
Come the Mini skirt fad I had just one that I only wore to parties and never to work. Remember the knee length boots with the short skirts worn in the 1970's and early 1980's ?
This little girl is dressed as the kids did in school 50 + years ago.
Somewhere down the line I was told that one could tell the economy of a country by the length of the woman's skirts. The better the economy the shorter the skirt.
This is a real :banghead: :banghead: for me, when do we go back to ankle length skirts to please the Muslims, or just make all sexes wear Poopie Suits ????? Unisex as the Chinese tried to do.

I thought I'd look up the names of those in the school adminstration, saw the names Bill Clinton and Anthony Weiner, and then I said "Oh, it's OK then."

I guaran-damn-tee you she did not look like that when she showed up at school, unless the school has a uniform policy.
This is entirely a bogus stick-it-to-the-man moonbat setup.
-
Besides that it looks like HELL run amok. Theres nothing realy wrong with it now days.
-
Hopefully DSS is on their way to remove this child from the DUmmies home before any more damage can be done.
-
Like EC, I find those shoes highly offensive.
There's more to this story than we're being told. Why is she wearing a smirk? Maybe she's like the couple of girls who went to my husband's high school, who removed their underwear before class.

I know what your talking about Karin, I bet the girls sat in the front row of the class in Math and the male teacher gave them A+ even tho they never did home work or passed a test.
I can attest to having passed math because my cousin did my home work and our teacher a female knew I was dating her brother.---------Came back to bite me in the butt years later when I had to try to help MY kids with Math, new Math of the 1970's-------Then later on I had to learn math for Nursing and later every other job I had.
From what I can tell of the little girls skirt, it does look like she has either a lining or a slip underneath. And this is not a pencil skirt, for her to hike it up it would bulge out in odd places.
-
I'm no judge by any means, but I'd let my oldest girl wear this outfit without a second thought - So, All I can come up with is there must be a rule they have taken a zero-tolerance approach on - I'm guessing skirts cant go that far above the knee.

They may have a 'fingertip' rule. Girls with longer arms generally will get dinged more under this rule. Basically the girls skirt can't be shorter then where her fingertips fall at her side. Just a note though, my daughter's pushed the envelope a little on this and she's gotten a pass from what I've seen and had other girls been getting 'dress coded'. The only difference I can find is in the perception of the teachers and staff towards the student. I've found the more the child is seen as a 'good kid', the more willing the teacher is to overlook things like this as an oversight and not be as severe on judgement. It's not right on the fairness scale, but I do think it happens. Now sometimes they crack the whip regardless, but I do find the kids perceived as the 'good kids' or likeable kids get a pass sometimes when they aren't being as zero tolerance. There's a chance she got caught up when they cracked the whip...just unlucky timing. I still see nothign wrong with what she's wearing, but when they decide to get strict on the rules with that they are unforgiving in it.

Now you sound like Lawrence Whelk that fired a dancer for showing too much knee. But he had no problem keeping a male dancer that he had to have known was gay on his family show.
:yahoo: :yahoo: a confusing time for America but I was fortunate to have grandparents that talked about this in front of me way back then. Their take was as the dancer was on the cover of TV guide and gave directions on how to copy her dancing clothing, old Laurence got jealous that she was now the star of the show and people were paying more attention to her then to him.
Naturally the Lennon sisters the perfect children of the show were now pushed into the back, due to a dancer that got attention and clothing was copied with directions on how to make them.
This is so weird in this day and age, my girls wore uniforms to school that were at the top of their knee.
So what is the agenda of a school that gripes about the above knee skirt of a student ? This is NUTS, are the teachers and school board looking for their 15 minutes of fame ???
Lets get out the camera phones and take pictures of the clothing the TEACHERS wear in or out of school.
The wife of the Principle and the wives of the male teachers wear out in public.
All this stupid stuff that directs our our attention away from the serious stuff, like taxes, and local government, the changing zoning laws in a town, up to this new thing about the ability to change the double jeopardy laws.
While we discuss the little stuff, the country is going to Hell in a hand basket.
While we get all huffy about the small stuff, the big stuff is passing by, we now have a problem much more in portant then a child's clothing, Watch FOX Seems the Double Jeopardy law is now kaput.

There is nothing wrong with that outfit. If I was the parent, I would be "nicely" asking the school what their beef is.

I've never heard of this 'fingertip rule' before today, but it certainly does sound subjective to me, which I really dislike.
Well, this is a moot discussion for me anyway. My oldest kid goes to an evil Rethug lovin' -union bustin' Charter School and they have a uniform policy. (the younger two are still too young to attend) But still - If my oldest was going out somewhere in public, I wouldn't say two words about her wearing the same outfit this girl is, cut to the same proportions.
It doesn't seem to be overly revealing or provocative, and it seems age appropriate.

The school my daughter goes to has a finger tip rule for Shorts and dresses. It is where if the outfit isn't lower than your finger tips, you can't wear it. I don't see that problem in the outfit that girl is wearing.

I think the outfit looks fine. Apparently it was an 1/2 inch too short!! wtf.seriously I think the principle has too much time on his hands!!!

Sea this is just a symptom of society running amok.
Every day we see in the news some poor kid using judgement to cross the zero tolerance rules of people who have a need to weld a hammer against those they are in charge of.
Young girls suspended for passing a friend a Midol when the friend has cramps from a period.
The child that rushed to save a classmates life when they could not breath due to forgetting their inhalator and lending them theirs.
Now we have a young woman suspended for doing a class room project about the Fictional story about a bullied child that took their life.
Is this a trend here, few males are suspended for anything they do, bulling or being a nuance. Why are the females all so often in trouble for everything from their hair do's to checking the length of their skirts ??
I am NOT a female rights person until I see it being brought down to our children. Our girls are being taught to follow the rules to the max, stand and watch as another female dies from not being able to breath, not give a OC help to a another female in pain. Punished for creativity in a class project. punished for wearing perfectally acceptable dress for their age.
Males are , well male, lots of excuses for their behavior, Females must Conform to standards other then reasonable because, well they are female. Sounds like the Muslim ideas of female's behavior are creeping in here.
The beautiful little girl that had her long hair tied into a lovely bow and refused to be allowed to have her class picture taken, --Talk about bullies, not the class mates but the Adults that needed to weld their power over a little girl.
The school system has gone nuts, the M/F pedophiles and the power trip of the schools over the children and their parents is possibly one of the reasons for the huge drop out rate from students.
BTW, Not just the females, a young man who was in highschool and owned his own truck, paid for by after school jobs, helped his grandmother move. Some how a butter knife was overlooked in the truck bed and some one saw it. Next thing the kid knew he was arrested for having a weapon on school property, suspended for a week and had to go to court.
Another young boy had an after school job and left his tool box in the trunk of his car. Someone saw him and friends smoking cigarettes before class and the car was searched and in the tool box a boxcutter essential for his part time job was found.
Now you tell me how the kids of today can in anyway function as we did, just live normal life, darn we had in hunting season GUNS in the trunks for after school hunting. Fishing for kids, both Ice and warm weather, one Needs all sorts of knives to do so, to cut line, Some equipment is needed and is usually stored in the truck or car, so when a Boy is doing a Mans job, penalise him punish him. Allow the powers that be, to take Him or Her down a peg for being more at 17 then they at 30 will ever be.
Sorry Sea I got all rilled up here, I feel we are turning our children into zombies, act outside the rules even in an emergency, may be teaching that to react in an emergency or just go about normal life may become a reason to be punished.
