I Wonder . . .

Is this new dress code there because of students being distracted, or instructors?

Another thing, what if you were a student who went to school in a low cut outfit, and they didn't force you to cover up?

Do late bloomers get a pass on the dress code?

Afterall, don't cleavage baring outfits depend on the existence of cleavage to be bared?

Makes me glad not to be in high school anymore, the occaisonal baring of cleavage by students (and sometimes teachers) was one of the things that made going worthwhile.

Reminds me of a story, going all the way back to junior high school. A girl in math class was an 'early-bloomer' and already wearing bras, and had something to fill them with. The instructor came by to check homework each class, and she always felt that the instructors eyes may have not always stayed on her homework alone. One day, she wrote on the inside of her bra, "Like what you see Mr. [redacted to protect the possibly innocent]". She had informed her friends that she was going to do this, and word spread throughout the class, with everyone sneaking a peak at the teacher, he turned noticeably red after lingering over her shoulder for a moment too long. I had this teacher, but not in the same class that girl was in. This tale might have been a local urban legend, or stolen from some crappy movie for all I know. But the teacher in question was a jerk, but I don't know that he was a perv, as well. He did move up to teach at the high school a year or two later, where some girls then also felt uncomfortable with his stares (though never a hint of actual contact or grading favoritism and the like).

The teacher who married the homecoming queen, that's a whole other story . . .
