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?[/quote]

We are talking teenage boys here, my wording may have been a bit strong but my point is that the media unfortunatly has brainwashed more and more of our young women to thinking their only value is in being sexy and looking provacative. I agree with you in principal but I also live in the real world. You can preach to these boys about self control but raging testosterone is a hard thing to overcome at that age, just a fact of life and biology. Sad but true.

The standards that apply at professional office space should apply at school. Women where I work have been privately warned about showing excessive cleavage, it causes discomfort which leads to distraction and inefficiency.

There are plenty of difficulties with education. School is not a night club or a fashion show, it should be a very serious place where young folks are being groomed and trained to become effective citizens. Baggy pants, low cut shirts, too tight hip-hugging pants and general sloveness, belong elsewhere.
