I hope your meeting is going well today. I have never heard of teachers having that strict of a dress code. I think you are doing the right thing by talking to him about finding a compromise before school starts. But for students...oh goodness.
I went to a public middle/high school with a super strict dress code. We all had to wear khaki/navy pants/shorts/skirts. Of course shorts and skirts had to be a certain length. We wore polos and button downs (orange white and navy only). Between Thanksgiving and spring break...no shorts, guys wore ties (witht he button downs, no polos), no tennis shoes. There were restrictions on socks, rings, earrings, etc. Of course everything had to be tucked in, no baggy khakis, no khakis with pockets sewn on (the pockets that look like jeans).
It was way excessive. My brother is in high school now and its not quite as bad...but still very strict. I don't think it is a horrible thing for students (not sure that I'm a supporter either though). But I just dealt with it and LOVED it when I was in college and could wear pj's to class!
