work dress code

[AWJDZ]

ok..here is the deal. I teach middle school. My principal has alway been very laid back and easy going. Well, today he made an announcement over the intercome during our workday that there will be a new teacher, staff, student dresscode. "All shirts and tops must be tucked in, regardless". I know it is due to the surge of long baggy shirts and pants, but still. He never talked about this to any of the faculty or leadership team, he did it all on his own. This is not even a county rule. Our school is very rual and we have never had a problem or any huge sort before. Kids are very compliant when asked to pull up there pants or anything. I personal think this is a little overboard. Most womens tops are not made to be tucked in. I tried to explain that to him, but his response is "that if it is too short to be tucked in, it must be too short to wear to school" I have always dressed professionally and I wear nice, stylish clothes to school. The linen pants and top from Anne Taylor I want to wear on Wed. (the first day) are not ment to be tucked in!!! What do yall think? Isn't this a little too much?

I stand a better chance carrying a gun or whatever in my Kate Spade!
