All of the fifth grade girls are going crazy about the school’s dress code. They think it’s unfair to have to wear shorts past our ring finger and your tank top straps at least an inch wide. Some parents say that they have spent a lot of money on short shorts and now they have to buy their daughters new pants and tank tops with wider straps. What can we do to stop the dress code?
