They look like ordinary pants to me... How TF is she supposed to go to school if she gets dress coded for every one of her pants?

[ellismith]

You know what is more distracting than my bra strap? The teacher stopping class and pointing it out

[_H.A.N.N.A_]

I think that the problem is not in the clothes but the fact that they sexualise it.... what she was wearing was totally fine.... it is so sad this whole clothing rule system

When your teachers are more concerned about your pants than your education.

Apparently a high-performing school expects students to show up dressed in a potato sack.

[tiffanychen]

But then you look at what their cheerleaders wear...

[jules]

we are sent to school to learn, not to be shamed for your clothes.

My school dress code:

Girls: don’t wear rips above the knee, no shorts above the knee, only closed toed shoes, always wear a tank top, no shoulders showing, not tight clothes, shirts can not go above about an inch under your belly button..

Boys: don’t come to school naked, don’t come to school with out a shirt.

heavem forbid we show our *legs* becuase they are so *sinful* and distracting

[elyvion]

dress codes in 2020:
no shirts with sleeves, patterns or cloth
no pants with holes (for legs or waist), color or cloth
no socks cuz they're too tight
no shoes that fit
no hats that stay on your head
no coats that keep you warm
no hair because it fits too tightly on your head

[kahleagrapperhaus]

does anyone else realize that its never boys that have violations

[madiirogers]

COULD PEOPLE NOT SEXUALIZE 12 YEAR OLDS

[robjames]

If the school is obsessed with dress code why not interduce a school uniform then that would solve the problem.

[Selmamalik]

Why don't they just change it into an all girls Catholic school?

[BobBob-gssv]

why do pants affect our education? And why are we sexualising a 12 year old?😂

[niamhfaulkner]

Apparently the way u look is more important than education

[blackbunny]

I got dress code for wearing a dress so the lady sent me down to the office, where two women came out and measured my dress then they where going back and forth about how to measure the height, below or above the knee even though the rules says above the knee, and it was also at my finger tips so I was not doing anything wrong, after that they let me go cause they had nothing to complain about so I packed walked out and walked right past the lady who sent me and looked right at her then smiled while she stared and went to class. After that I made it my goal in life to wear that dress and others like it when ever I could just to piss of that lady. She now works at my brothers school so when I drop him off at the office I always smile right at her. I can't help being petty it's who I am.🤷‍♀️

Once I wore pants that had a flower design near my butt and a teacher said it was ‘inappropriate’ but why was a 50 yr old man looking at my butt lmao

[pringlebingle]

But baggy pants aren't allowed either
