Dress codes suck ass

I fucking hate dress codes. I’m tall asf and would always get in trouble for my shorts but like my legs are almost the length of another student who is shorter than me wtf do you want me to do about that in 105 degree weather

I remember being in 5th or 6th grade and being pulled into the hall because girls were wearing shorts that were “too short” and it was inappropriate to wear them around our male classmates. I remember all of the girls looking confused on what was going on bc we were only 11-12 at that time. I remember as a kid feeling like well, a whore for lack of a better word, because I picked up that their same tone being pointed at little girls was the same one used in church when referring to certain women

this is why i think schools like these should just have uniforms, like whats the point of having a dress code if ur just going to use it to humiliate ur students? just have a uniform atp and save everyone from dealing with that bs

i got dress coded in 4th grade during spirit week. it was athlete day and i wanted to show off the fact that i figure skated competitively. i wore full coverage skin colored tights, shorts, and a long sweatshirt. i was 10.

dress codes are sexual harassment. there’s not even anything sexual about showing a little bit of skin but staff members sure make it that way. and if they think seeing a girl’s shoulder, thigh, or midriff is distracting then they shouldn’t be within 500 ft of a school

Uniforms don’t save students either. I grew up with them and was still chastised. Eventually I started to buy clothes that were bigger than me

kids are always going to find something to bully u about, i ment more from the teacher's perspective from having to call out a kid mid class. im pro uniforms 🤷‍♀️

Yes, that is what I am talking about. I have had uniforms and regular clothes in public school before. Admin still finds a way to bring down the hammer on students instead of booting the offending staff

uniforms will not spare the girls and often leaves them being fetishized even more

i disagree tbh, girls are fetishized regardless of what they wear and imo using that as a reason to be against uniforms has the same vibe as forcing a girl wearing a tank top and shorts to go change before a male family member of friend comes to their house. Like the issue with dress codes and uniforms is obviously the staff and adults in charge failing the kids, but i still think uniforms can be beneficial and help kids feel less ostracized even if they don't think so

i dont really want to argue with yall, which is why i didnt respond to #2, but i feel like u saying "uniforms can lead to girls being more fetishized" just doesn't sit right with me and i feel the need to call that out

... making a girl put on a uniform before going to school is literally the *most* comparable to making a girl change before an adult man comes over. it's literally the same thing just in different environments it shouldn't sit right with you because it is pedo-centric but it's the truth. like sorry but if you go on virtually any adult site you probably don't even need to search "schoolgirl" to find front-page videos of women in school uniforms

I remember the focus not being the fact that the shorts were too short for us to wear bc of anything but how we were effecting the boys in class
