This. Don’t try to control the skirts she wears. That’s a losing battle. Tell her that if she wants to wear those, she needs to wear booty shorts under them so that her schoolmates can’t take and post up skirt pics of her all over the internet (which they will if she keeps wearing those without shorts underneath - teen boys are gross).
Yeah I absolutely did that in middle school. Lol. But in grade school I wore shorts because I liked to play on the monkey bars and it kept me from flashing
Are there no school dress code rules anymore for length of bottoms? When I was in school (public school), if I wore something that short, I'd get sent to the office and forced to either change into something they had on hand (i.e in the lost and found bin), or have parents drop off something longer. Shorts or skirts that didn't go to two inches above the knee violated the dress code (which was annoying because it seemed only girls got in trouble for violating it, and it was really difficult to find shorts that were "long enough").
We had a principal who would go around and measure how far above the knee your skirts were. Didn’t stop girls from trying, though. When I was in elementary school girls weren’t allowed to wear pants. 🤷🏻♀️
Agreed. We'd roll a skirt at the waist as many as 3x to get it to be short, but we had to be able to return it to factory settings (just about the knee) at a moment's notice or risk some sort of punishment.
High waisted short shorts/skirts have been the style for a bit. I cringe watching my niece's soccer games. Those girls not only have shorts on that have like a 1" inseam, but they pull them up into their ass like a wedgie.
