What You're Saying About the New Carroll County Public School Dress Code

A recent article about the revisions on the Carroll County Public School dress code met with a variety of responses from readers.

Here's a sampling of what people said on Facebook and in the comments section. You're welcome to add your own thoughts below.

Wanda Semies: 

"Thank you to the school board for establishing the new dress code. Hopefully this will begin to help foster self-respect and then the concept of respect for others."

William Campion: 

"It's a shame that the School Board has to enact policy due to the lack of parental supervision. Parents...step up and act like a parent!!!"

Rebecca: 

"This is entirely appropriate and not unlike surrounding counties' dress codes...it has to be put in writing because there are parents (encouraged by their children, I'm sure) that would fight it...sad, but true."

David:

"I really hate to use these words but, 'when I was in school' and you wore something you weren't supposed too, say jeans, you spent the day in your gym uniform. How stylish!"

Rebecca Abresch Tees:

"Totally appropriate."

Pamela Huston Hohlbein:

"Very appropriate...some of the skirts I have see girls wear in ELEMENTARY school are completely inappropriate...I wouldnt be opposed to uniforms."

Jaime Falk Grauel: 

"Uniforms would be great!"

Karen Hilnbrand Creutzer: 

"My daughters are elementary age, both tall and have long legs and arms...so therefore most shorts don't meet the dress code requirement. I don't dress them in revealing or inappropriate clothes...they happen to have have long legs and arms. Is it considered discrimination because they have long limbs????"
