‘Slutty Wednesday’: NY high-school students protest dress code

[HopeHoops]

4. Dress codes are sort of stupid. That's especially true for skirt schools.

The boys get to wear pants in the winter and the girls have to wear plaid skirts. Yeah, that makes sense. Our only dress code in school was "wear clothes" and we wore what made sense for the weather. My wife just wore an old company-issued tank top for "splash day". She's one of the only ones who have been around long enough to remember when that was standard issue. Now they have to wear company-issued polo style shirts. I've always been a jeans and T-shirt sort of guy and that's what I wore to work pretty much everywhere and all the time even when I was at a customer site. Kids are going to check each other out, regardless of what they wear. The dress code should be "don't come naked". That might cause a wee bit of distraction.
