My DD is in a PS enrichment program this year, only one day a week. The dress code is preposterous. It manages to be vague and sexist all at once. One could interpret it as allowing girls to wear boxers and sagged pants, while boys can wear cut-off tank tops and short-shorts, but not vice versa. It also says no one may be dressed "immodestly", without giving much of an idea of their definition of this (except for the sag pants on boys and details of all the kinds of tops girls can't wear and length their skirts/shorts must be.)
I'm debating whether to complain about it. Life would be simpler if they just instituted a uniform, a polo-shirt-and-khakis type thing that would be clear and leave no room for interpretation and me wishing I had an older boy with my sense of humor to help me directly test the idiocy of the code.

I'm just smiling remembering our dress code. We used to have to kneel on the floor to test whether our skirt was more than 4" above our knee with a yardstick. And you could wear polos but not sleeveless and so the kids would roll up the short sleeves on the polos. Now I hear the girls wear brightly colored g-strings under their appropriate-length skirts and flash whenever they can. 
I love the idea of a boy coming to school wearing short-shorts and a tank top, lol. THat would rock.
