But, by design, a strapless dress has to cover up more than a spaghetti strap dress. Don’t ask me how I know this stuff. LOL
Girls distract boys, period.
Yeah but it was only for the boys, girls can wear them however low they want.
Girls distract 14 year old boys!....Details at 11.
Well I applaud the courage ofthis principal. We certainly need more like this. Why can’t middle school girls (or high school girls) dress modestly? What’s wrong with that?
I never understand how it is wrong for a boy to inappropriately touch a girl, yet girls can visually assault boys.
I take it it was the Muslim students that complained?
Are these the same parents that buy thong underwear for their little daughters. Instead of being happy that the school is calling for modesty, they complain. Take away the make-up, false nails and sexy underwear/clothes and let them be children for petes sake!!
I'm not exactly enamored with teenage style sense and haven't been for awhile, but principle Sharon Moffat is going a little overboard here.
my DD’s school had the same standards for her 8th grade dance- bravo
this is 8th GRADE
plenty of time to wear tit hugging dresses when they get married
Jr. High is probably a little young for strapless ... so he’s not wrong. I wouldn’t let my daughter wear one at that age. But, its a parental decision, not a school administration decision ... so he probably overstepped. They’re not grossly inappropriate to the extent that school officials ought to get involved.
I thought the purpose of school dances was for girls to distract boys.

Who could be outraged at such a rule, other than middle school boys?
My son’s Senior Prom was last weekend. His date wore a pretty strapless dress. BUT there was one girl there who was walking and taking very small baby steps because her dress was so short it barely covered her butt and crotch. And all I could think was “your mom let you leave the house looking like that?”
I think parents ought to stop trying to be their kids friend and start being parents! Sad that I side with the school on this.
No middle school girl of mine is going to any dance until she finishes school and moves out. That’s final.
I thought that was the idea
A school person worrying about decorum? About inappropriate dress and behavior? Wow.
Meanwhile, the parents are outraged. So what? Wear a better dress.
Sounds like a good idea.
Another question: Why the heck do schools hold dances? I think they need to sto doing that.
