3.Male teacher who wore tight pants- students(particularly one girl) saying he was gay, rumors spread. administration had to step in.

I interpreted this as sexual harassment coming at a very early age.

I can't believe that my county is the only one that has a dress code in place for ALL grades 1-12.

 

Very high heels are on the list of not permitted in high school. What is common are 2 inch chunky heels and tennis shoes.

@suzyQ3  How so?  I read numbers 1 2 and 3.  "Juggs" saying "left right" while walking behind a teacher....gay rumors.  Whatever someone is wearing  doesn't give students a right to harass teachers. It's the old "asking for it" excuse.  Maybe if we call out this behaviour early we won't be dealing with it later.

Got it, @MoJoV. Thanks for the clarification.

Re: Grand-Niece, 16 wearing high heels shoes stilletos

OP, aghast?  Too dramatic.  So what if the teen is wearing stilettos.  Let her express herself.   All teens (I'll bet you did too) express themselves in different ways.....hair color or style, clothes, shoes, whatever.  Stilettos are a lot better than drugs, flunking school, sex, and worse.

I would call it sexual harassment too...coming from the kids toward their teacher.   Any unwanted sexual action/word made toward someone is sexual harssment.  Kids need to learn that early on.

I saw a girl in the restaurant yesterday, running down the hall, maybe 10-2 years old, wearing a wedge like the Fly London.  I don't get it.

Our county dress code policy does not allow high heels for students.
