Sorry ... I just couldn't resist it....but seriously.....we have to remember who is buying the clothes for these middle schoolers....the PARENTS! And the kids are watching the television and seeing everything in the magazines and ads on billboards....what sells??? They human body...at any age.

That said, I am also of the belief that just because a woman child dresses a bit provacativley doesn't mean they are to be disrespected...all we can do as adults and teachers is to teach by example, lead by example and show we care as best we can.

I don't envy you in this (((((( seeker ))))))). Maybe your decrease in paxil is just what is needed to let this other teacher know she's over the top???
