Teenage Dress Codes: Easier Said Than Done

In 2009-10, about 57 percent of public school principals reported that their schools enforced a dress code. Some rules are intended to promote modesty, others to encourage a respectful learning environment.

But if the school doesn’t require a certain length for shorts, it’s left to parents to decide whether, and how, to ensure that their children leave the house dressed Short Red La Femme Style 18110 for school, not for a beach party. When I posted this as last week’s parental quandary, mothers, fathers, non-parents, and grandparents all responded with what seemed like one voice, arguing that the fact that I would even ask “Should Parents Impose a Dress Code?” just proves that many parents (that would be, of course, “other” parents) are too lax. “Parents have already punted too many of their parenting responsibilities to schools,” wrote Trixie in a popular comment. “Teaching is hard enough.”

Amid all those who felt the question was an obvious one, particularly for those who buy the clothes, a few parents admitted conceding this battle. As the week went on, more and more presented arguments for letting children make their own mistakes in this regard. Children trade or alter clothing; they wear it in situations for which it wasn’t intended (a sports bra under a “pinnie”: perfect for lacrosse, less so in the classroom). Parental control is more limited than it appears.
