  I feel like schools should’ve stressed about hygiene way more than clothes. Kids PURPOSELY skipping out on deodorant BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY DID NOT SMELL was more distracting than some of the “inappropriate” clothing.

  i had a girl in my class dress coded for “being able to see her bra”. she was wearing a long sleeve shirt with a neckline up to her neck. there was a light outline of the padding. it was in no way distracting and absolutely ridiculous, it left literally everything up to imagination

  In high school, the girls kept getting dress coded for their shorts when it was hot out, and the boys protested by all coming to school in booty shorts 😂

  I have a large chest and have had to worry about being dress coded constantly. When I was in 5th grade I was told to cover up because my bra strap was showing. I was wearing a dark green shirt and the outline was barely visible. Plus, the teacher was pretty far away from me so she was actively looking at my chest at 11 years old. Grown adults really need to stop staring at children's body's, girl, boy, doesn't matter.

  I work at a school, and I find dress codes incredibly unfair. Targeting a kid because of what they wear makes them not want to come to school. Some can’t afford clothes that would meet the criteria.

  I can attest to this. I was always “bigger” than every other girl in my class. I wasn’t allowed to wear tank tops or anything that revealed even the tiniest bit of cleavage, I couldn’t help that shirts fit me in a different way. It got so bad that one day, on a field trip to a amusement/water park, I almost got heat stroke because I was wearing a black hoodie in the summer heat. The only thing I had under it was a tank top, they reluctantly let me wear the tank top only after I almost passed out.

  I remember wearing a cute maroon dress back in High school that was above the knees. Almost got written up for wearing something &quot;inappropriate&quot; but when I pointed out why was my dress wrong but the cheerleaders and dance team dress codes were basically booty skirts.

  I got dress coded in high school for having hair that was &quot;Too long and Distracting&quot;. &nbsp;I had dark curly hair that went to the middle of my back. They told me to get a hair cut, but my culture views cutting hair as an act of deep shame. This applies to both men and women. <br>My Mom and I argued the case and won, but needless to say I transferred to another school very quickly.

  I knew a girl who got sent to the office for &quot;bleaching her hair&quot; she had naturally bleach blonde hair and had literally never been seen with any other color of hair and had gone to that school disticet since kindergarten

  I literally had a friend in high school get into a TON of trouble because her bra strap slipped down her shoulder and you could see it peaking out of her shirt (or at least that&apos;s what the Male teacher said). Meanwhile a girl who was on the varsity track team and academic team wore mini skirts and Daisy Duke style shorts and the school administration never batted an eye. MatPat missed the part where some schools favor their Athletic and Academic (specifically Academic Team, FBLA, etc) students over their other students.
