Arrange a few minutes of one on one with the young ladies in question. Explain to them that if they dress in this way that the boys will treat them as no more than objects of conquest and not real human beings with ideas and intellect. Advise them that socializing at school is a secondary function and that most importantly they are here to work. This again should not be done out loud in front of other students. Humiilation is not a good way to dicispline young people.[/QUOTE]

You know how to handle teens and situations with tact and respect, but I strongly disagree with pointing out to the young women how the boys will think of them or treat them. The boys may or may not treat them that way, or they may have them falling all over them. But that is not for anyone else to make negative assumptions and pass them on to young women. Also, I know fashion, I'm in the industry, but maybe someone ought to teach the boys not to be so disrespectful, not the other way around. I"m 40+ have two daughters in their 20's and couldn't disagree more. Maybe the teacher could put a positive spin on it instead.

Also, aren't their other things to worry about in education rather than how to wear a shirt?
