What Happened to the Dress Code?

When I remember first coming into Cawthra at the young age of 14, fresh out of middle school one moment at the orientation still sticks to to me. The Dress Code talk.  Now I've had these before...but never in such detail with mannequins and all.  But I understood. I agreed.

The 4 B's.  NO Butts. NO Bras. NO Boobs. NO bellies.

Pretty straightforward...right?

In grade 9 I would say I didn't notice much.  A couple bra straps the occasional short shorts that were a little TO short but overall not much problem.

It hit me this year...BAM.

WOW.

What's with all this revealing clothing?  That COMPLETELY goes against the basis dress code.

Crop tops? Your belly is completely exposed! Sure some of you got the tummy to show...but when its almost up to your bra line...Don't you feel a little revealed?

Lace tops.   sure they are nice and low cut tops and strapless tops are nice as well...but when you can a) completely see your bra through it(especially when its neon or patterned...) and b)when your boobs look like they are read to pop out of their hold...it's a little far.

A little Bra strap never hurt to show...but entire bras or complete bra straps with a strapless top? That doesn't even MATCH in colour?

Short shorts will never disappear...but your underwear and butt cheeks are not needed to be seen.  High waisted short shorts aren't long enough either. Just because there is extra fabric at the top...doesn't make them longer over your backside.

WHERE DID THE DRESS CODE GO?

WHERE are the teachers who are supposed to enforce the Code?
It's not like they haven't seen all the people walking around school in this attire...it's everywhere.

Maybe we all have just began to accept this as acceptable for teenagers?

I'm just hoping this is a fad that will quickly fade...and not get more revealing.

My true question still stands though. Where did the enforcement of the Dress Code go?
