Surely I am not the only one here who does not know what leggings are. And that pic in the thread.... who would wear that and are they considered “distracting” in a way that a clown might be distracting?

I don’t see anything “sexy” about them if that is the implication.

Is this code for “we don’t want to hurt the plump figured girls feelings”?

I am around your wife’s age and I wear leggings and yoga pants and yoga capris.......With a long top they are the most comfortable thing around. Put on a pair of high heels and a nice top and they are appropriate for almost anything.
Of course I see really really hefty girls wearing them too. Makes me laugh.

Mini skirts were much harder to deal with.
Of course we didn’t have sexting, cell phones and the internet.

Burkahs & veils.

He and two co-conspirators made multiple copies and distributed them to all of us adolescent boys in the neighborhood.

Did they get caught? Was it the guillotine or the rack?

A pretty woman is a distraction no matter how she dresses.

That was Sister Cleopha, the NO-NONSENSE math teacher, at Mount Carmel Junior High in Denver, Co ca. October, 1970; at the start of the school year for some period of time the girls were exempt from wearing uniforms (I guess so they all had a chance to purchase them or whatever); said sister commented ‘I will be so glad when you are all in uniforms, I am so sick of seeing BARE HIDES!’...I wasn’t sick of it at all lol!

Most girls I see anymore cannot differentiate between sexy and sleazy.

“Am I a bad mother for letting my daughter out of the house wearing a shirt that doesn’t cover her bottom? “

YES!!

Tube tops?
I used to love rolling those tube tops down on the girls ( with their approval of course)
Fun times!

Did they get caught? Was it the guillotine or the rack?

No, the adults never seemed to figure it out. I still break into cold sweats thinking about the curves on one of those girls. She is CIO of a major bank now.

I graduated high school in 1977. I still fondly remember tube tops...sigh.

Yes! Now come over here and get your spanking!

They’re too distracting to the boys.

Boys are going to be distracted by girls no matter what they wear.

Let's tell the truth here...Leggings and Yoga pants are too distracting to teachers and administrators.

[Vaquero]

Sometimes I think having school uniforms isn’t such a bad idea.

No it's a GREAT IDEA. I went to parochial grade school K through 8 where uniforms were worn by all and parochial HS where jacket tie non jean pants were required. The girl HS (separated by a 12 foot block wall had similar but feminine dress codes.

There was never any clothing distractions and education was the #1 requirement.

A few years ago, I was describing how pretty those girls were to a friend and he didn’t believe they could be quite that pretty.

I got out my old annual and it only took a quick glance before he said. “Dang they really are that hot”, or something similar.

[knittnmom]

LOL! I was in 3rd grade, and the uniform was available at an area department store. So no such list existed.

My 58 year-old wife wears yoga pants quite a bit and leggings on occasions; but she has earned the privilege.

Two questions:

1. So your family doesn't follow Sharia law?

2. Are you going to post pics or not?

[Delta Dawn]

Why not go to the root cause of boys distractions in school and just ban girls outright, along with women teachers?
