I have 3 sons…this is exactly how I have raised them. Real men have self control and don’t blame others when they can’t control themselves.

Noticing is natural. How you react to noticing is 100% on you and not at all on the person that you are noticing.

Any dress code that gives reasoning of being distracting to the opposite sex is ridiculous. It honestly doesn’t give any credit to anyone or any responsibility for self control.

Yeah, teens are not adults, but they are learning to be…which includes learning to control their own distraction.

Maybe just be consistent with the dress code. That would be a lot easier and cheaper.

No one is attacking these girls. But they are looking as the girls are showing.

Then why the crop top with no bra at school ?

Did you do any digging beyond the OP's link ?

I say let them all go to uniforms. That solves all the problems.

Is the topic something beyond the OP's link?

Is this thread about all school kids complaining about all dress codes on the planet throughout history? If so, my bad.
When I was in school it was guys fighting for the right to wear long hair and an earring. I can recall wearing mini skirts so short you had to wear bloomers underneath, bell bottom hip huggers and crop tops.

My older sister's generation complained about not being allowed to wear pants (girls) and their skirts having to be no more than an inch above the knee and guys hair not long enough to touch their shirt collar.

My kids complaint was no T-shirts with logos referencing rock bands, cigarettes or drugs and having to wear their ****s tucked in.

It is the baseline for what makes a decent man. Men who "can't control themselves" are the problem here.

lol = that poor child thinks that calling the boys "disgusting" is an insult, when, in fact, they proudly wear it as a badge of honor..

It should also be noted, a young girl or any woman dressed down, in baggy clothes gets inappropriate comments and gestures. It isn’t the outfit that causes distraction.

Yeah, never heard of anyone with a school uniform fetish...

If a boy is acting inappropriate with girls, I'd blame his parents, not the girl's outfit.
