    Is this not common? My public middle and high school had a strict dress code which basically just amounted to 'stop being sexy' with a hearty amount of racism too

      in czechia i feel like it was way more lax. went to school there for a year or two

      but in america shit was wild. like, grown ass men leering at little girls and demanding they go to the lost and found hamper to get different clothes on immediately. like, 10 year olds

          There aren't enough Yikes in the world for me to convey how absolutely fucked this is. The only thing grosser than pubescent kids are the people who want to fuck them. God. Damn. America.

          there was a assistant coach or something in my 7th grade PE class who always stayed in the boys locker room during changing

          never said anything, just stood there

        In South Africa you wear uniforms at school, but on civies day (allowed to wear normal clothes for a day) shit would get horrible like that as well. I remember being pulled out of assembly for wearing jeans with holes. Girls got straight up discriminated against, if you hit puberty you basically couldn't wear any kind of normal t shirt, vest, etc without some fucked up teacher forcing them to change.

        Also had the blessing/curse to get a scholarship to an all boys boarding high school (think of half your classmates being a version of Elon Musk) and holy shit that was fucked up with regards to teacher-student stuff. Thinking about it now is just be🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮.

        i had a teacher say he liked the dress code because when he taught at a school without a dresscode he would get distracted by girls' cleavage :yikes-2:

      They're pretty common, but at least in the schools I went to it only amounted to "no mini skirts" and if you were just wearing everyday clothes like a tshirt and shorts it was fine.

      This is the opposite of common in many countries. My school had no official dress code at all.

      It's usually either "just cover your whole torso and it's fine" or "literally a uniform." This case is bizarre because it's basically "we banned fucking everything, figure out what the uniform is by process of elimination"
