The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

I think this article has a very powerful meaning to it and I completely agree. We, as high schoolers, should be able to choose an outfit in the morning that we want to wear, not something that they think they wont get in trouble for. If these teachers are trying get us ready for "the real world", I don't think that there are going to be people telling us that our shorts are too short or that we need to put a jacket over our shirts when we're 20. People with short legs and shorts arms don't really have a problem with the thumb rule. However, people with long legs and long arms can have some major trouble finding shorts that come below the thumb. I don't think that shorts that show a little more leg would be a problem (unless you are able to see things that shouldn't be shown in school). I think that the teachers should let us have a little more self- control on the thing we choose to wear.
