I'm sick of the dress codes too. My teen daughters go to the same high school I did. The dress code has gone backwards 5 decades during that period. It's sick. When I was in school no one had issues getting an education because of how others were dressed. And believe me when I say we dressed racy.
In that school now, my girls can't even wear tank tops during phys ed in a sweltering gym in June (in a school with no air conditioning) because, you know. Arms and shoulders. Or something.
Same thing in the local elementary school. I had NO idea about the dress code and sent my 5 year old to kindergarten in a sundress. The teacher made her wear her fucking sweater all day- on a HOT day - because dresses without sleeves are not allowed. Are you FUCKING kidding me? I told the teacher I thought it was ridiculous.
Thankfully, teenage girls all over Canada right now are seriously rebelling against this and holding protests at their schools. Good.
