(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - they do have dress code! supposedly. but yes i do agree it needs to be enforced I hate having to see girls walking down the hall looking like strippers. I also wish the school would actually enforce many of the rules they have not just the cell phone use.

- I think the administrators at your school need to have a dress code. Too many of the girls that go there, wear extremely short skirts and shorts, and also wear revealing shirts. I feel that school is for learning and not for exposing ones self--that is for marriage.
