No, I think we should go back to common sense. Common sense states that wearing t-shirts and jeans are ok but wearing t-shirts with offensive language is not. We seem to have discarded/lost that ability over the past 15 years or so.
Haven't you noticed that common sense isn't so common? If people had any, we wouldn't need rules.
I volunteer at my children's school quite a bit. I was there last week dropping my child off after a doctor's appointment. A little girl came in with jeans on and the secretary pulled out a log book to write down the little girl's "indiscretion." Waste of time for all involved.
The one that made sense and that was around for the better part of four decades, yes. The one that none of the board or administrators wanted to enforce, yes. The one that actually would have solved a lot of the issues we saw, yes. This one? No.

Well it is common and most people followed the rules. The problems started when administration failed to enforce the rules to the point where the school board took drastic (and stupid) measures.
Times how many kids I see in the office on a weekly basis. I'm going to say about 15-20 on average. Plus the phone call to the parent, the time the kid spends waiting in the office for a proper pair of pants, etc. Waste of time. Total and utter waste.

I suppose if these parents had common sense, they'd follow the rules.
So are you complaining about dress codes or just this specific one? I think this one is so restrictive they should have just gone with uniforms. It has the same result without so many confusing possibilities.

Lands end makes khakis with reinforced knees.
I'm complaining about both. The old dress code allowed for common sense dressing for gym days and the rough and tumble of elementary school. It allowed for a modicum of choice on behalf of the child and parent. Yet it had enough rules where if offensive clothing was worn it could be taken care of. Yet the old dress code wasn't enforced so the district swung the pendulum the other way and now we have a strict dress code that hasn't fixed a thing.
