SOMETIMES IT TAKES TWO

I was determined that my children would be "back to school ready". Jeans now a days just don't cover all the bases (or base lines if you know what I mean). Someone smart in the fashion industry decided to bring back longer smock style shirts that cover those bare backs and belly buttons of most teenage girls. Some GENIUS in the Desoto County School system decided that if the shirts were more than 5" below the waist line, it was to be considered against dress code. Why, you may ask? Well of course..........Finally we don't have to look at tanned tummies, belly rings, back dimples and the Plumber Syndrome...........These folks are afraid that someone might be packing heat under that coverage. Let's weight this.....decency or harrassment. Sure, I know a kid could actually do that, bring a weapon, cover a pregnant belly, or hide a six pack of Bud Light under there, but get real. At the very least let me know this dress code change before I commit unthinkable acts against my husband's credit card. We are not happy campers. Just when you think someone has some sense...............I guess I'm going to have to start patting down my kids before I let them get in the car with me in the afternoon. I feel that this is another attempt to force uniforms on the kids. Do you really think this tactic will keep our kids safe? Maybe streaking wasn't such a bad idea......but then they would probably insist on cavity checks.
