Apparently it is enforced to a certain extent around here. About 2 weeks ago there was a conversation about it at the Moose Lodge, one of the members had gotten a call to either bring her daughter a decent shirt or come get her from school......and she is in High School.
I realized your questions were rhetorical - but it is a subject that drives me crazy. It is also an issue that transcends public vs private school, because it is found everywhere.
Hubby has decided that his wife and daughter are in need of new clothes and so we are going shopping this weekend.......the one place I want to go to is is having their big end of season sale, and so I plan on stocking up on clothes for her for next winter, particularly shirts.....and buy them several sizes too big. Because she has grown a bit over the winter, shirts I bought in September are already too short.
the "Bratz" (little hooker) style is not something either brought into or worn out of this household.
