Dress Code

I want to discuss the dress code. The dress code is the "Student Appearance" section in the student handbook. One specific part of the dress code I would like to address is the length of shorts and/or skirts. I want to know what you guys think.
The rule states, "shorts and skirts may be worn; however, extremely short garments are not permitted. The hem line of shorts and skirts must be at least finger-tip length when worn by students". Do you think this rule is fair? I know that a lot of clothing designed to be worn by young people is short. It is the style. I personally think that the rule is fair. In my opinion we are here for education, not necessarily a fashion show. Maybe I am just old.
I know that students want to look good when they come to school. I also know that the way you look says a lot about who you are. Freedom of expression, right? Some students, however think that by wearing revealing clothing it gets them attention. I think that the attention they get is often the wrong kind of attention. I have heard rude comments made by students about other students and their dress. The way we dress says nothing about who we are or what we stand for.
Now you know how I feel about the dress code. I think it is fair and appropriate. Here is your chance to let all of us know how you feel about it.
