I am so happy to have gone to a normal US high school. Both males and females could were a single pair of earrings. Make-up allowed in moderation (no clowns!). Skirts had to be knee length, but girls rarely wore them at my school. I believe the matter with students reflecting on their schools, whether or not they are currently at the school, is part of the Japanese "group mentality". A very foreign concept to Americans where we have a strong individuality. Rarely would a school in the US publicly take responsibility for a shortcoming of a student, especially out of school. |

I think I was lucky.
My highschool was pretty uncaring about these things. We had a dress code like any other school, but the only thing they band were disrespectful cloths, and you couldn't dye your hair, say pink or something like that.. Which I think was a smart thing. When you place all these restrictions on kids, like most schools are starting to do now, It makes kids want to rebel. Makes them want to wear shorter skirts, and dye their hair. If the people running the schools didn't make such a big deal about those sorts of things, they would never have any problems with it.. people at my school rarely did things wrong, and everyone was much happier when they could choose there own clothes. It never affected out grade..Hell we were the highest ranked highschool in the state for three years in a row. And we didn't have problems with our students outside of the school. Everyone was pretty chill. Without all the restrictions at the school kids didn't feel the need to rebel so much, so gangs/drugs/ anything like that was pretty scarce. |

No, not really. There was a "common sense" factor too since the fingertip rule can vary from person to person. Some people have long arms, some have short arms. For the most part, even with that rule, skirts weren't allowed to be two or three inches above the knees if I remember right. I'm not fully sure, though, since I didn't wear skirts or dresses in school past elementary school, unless I had to, like for a school event. I hated wearing them since "boys were idiots" and always tried to "look up my skirt/dress". lol
