Feedback: Writer thinks dress code too strict, too late "We need to keep the kids covered but worry more about what is in their pockets and lockers than if their jeans are ragged!" -SHANNON SEXTON Addition, 6:20pm CT: Last paragraph of letter added, beginning, "And another thing." I totally agree with Leshia.. I'm pushing 30, I cannot even buy jeans without frays or holes unless I shop in the "Grannie Department", which I do not plan on doing just yet! I think the kids should not wear violent material, spike, rings out every part of their body or show too much skin. I think the school dress code is great for the most part however it has went just a little too far and came out a little too late. I have talked with numerous parents that say they cannot afford to go out shopping again because they shopped early before the code was released. I believe most of the parents and students arguement is about holes in jeans. The rule needs to be change to reflect something along the lines of "no holes in jeans above the knee." Why are frays (aka ragged) bad? What if you can't buy new jeans and you wear old ones with frays or holes in the knees? As long as kids (hind) ends or tops (for lack of better words) are not hanging out, let them wear their jeans with little holes, frays and rips. Most of the jeans with holes don't even show skin, they have some type of patch under the rip. I have a young son and even I cannot find jeans without holes, frays, rips or hammer loops for him! Also, what is culottes? Are they not what we wore in the 80's? This is not the 80's...you cannot buy clothing now that we bought back then. We need to keep the kids covered but worry more about what is in their pockets and lockers than if their jeans are ragged! And another thing...sorry for being so "fired up" about the new dress code but I would like to know why they are cutting out "holes, ripped or ragged jeans". Is it because the ragged jeans are more expensive therefore segregating students because of expensive clothing (you also can get ragged jeans at Wal-mart) or is it because they look less than "respectful" or maybe because they show too much skin? If anyone reads this that had input on the new dress code, please enlighten me. I have ruled out the "expensive" issue, I can also rule out the showing of too much skin. If skin is the issue, why not wear jeans with holes less than 4" above the knee, like shorts. I don't see a difference.Shannon Sexton To read other letters on this and other subjects, Click Here Editor's note: If your name and/or contact information is not included in your comments, your letter will not be posted.
