Is finger tip rule reasonable?

[marakr]

our dress code dictates girls skirt no higher than finger tip level. just like in the pic. but arm length of high and short girls are different. how is it suitable for both?

[Potteplante]

So happy I never had to deal with dress codes.

Happy schools don't sexualise young kids the same way they do around the world.

[marakr]

your school didn't have dress code? and unifrom? or rules of students dress?
wonderful school if neither.

[Potteplante]

No on all in all the schools I've attended. Or I wore a uniform during the performance of the musical "the wall" and my boarding school did enforce "no wearing pyjamas all day long" rule.

It is up to parents to enforce dress codes - teach children what is appropriate and what not in most of Scandinavia/Nordic countries.

[lilBigPotato]

Different skirts for different occasions. I think a look in the mirror should tell you if it's appropriate or not

[marakr]

yea, but our skirt rule is not flexible enough for different girls

[AI Opinion]

The fingertip rule can be subjective due to varying arm lengths among individuals. While it aims to standardize skirt lengths modestly, it may not be equally suitable for everyone because a taller person with longer arms might have a different final skirt length than someone shorter. Flexibility in the dress code, possibly considering proportions instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, could be more fair and practical. 😊

I really never heard of that rule before I always talk to girls wear skirts or dresses and little late they wanted them to do it whatever makes them happy

I don't know if that's you in the picture but whoever she is I feel a very very sensual energy coming from her and I am a leg and thigh kind of guy and that girl there has some beautiful hot sexy legs if she had a tan and that skirt was shorter I mean I'll tell you right now that girl would be so hot and would just bring more and more attention to herself if that happened but as for the finger deal I don't have a clue with that even means if you could explain it

[marakr]

can you give some commas or periods? hard to read without them

[ohsheeT]

I can't and I apologize I just get in such a hurry I just start talking

I use voice texting which I shouldn't because it writes down words that I did not say half the time
I don't proofread I don't punctuate so I don't know how anybody can understand me or what I'm even trying to say LOL

They had to come up with a rule that is easy to enforce. Using how many inches or centimeters above the knee is subject to interpretation. From center of knee, from top of knee, where is the knee center anyway?

Yes, the results will be different for different size girls, but unless a girl has really short arms, her butt won't be exposed, which is the main goal of the dress code.

When I was in school many years ago, the rule for girls is that the hemline of the skirt or dress had to be below the knee, no part of the knee could be visible. In today's world, that would never be accepted.

[marakr]

flexibility is ignored by the rule. use some measures relative to legs like mid-thigh level may be more flexible.

[molonski2]

It works same as a golf club fit..

Its a fine general measurement and is perfectly acceptable for school , rules are required otherwise it will get out of control.

Its fine.

[marakr]

fine to have rules
but not to so rigid rules

[molonski2]

They are very reasonable rules , its important that school is school , nothing else..
You will have plenty of opportunity to dress up.
I remember being 16 and how exciting it was to see the girls outside school , thats different , but bottom line , you have more important things to concentrate on.

[WindAtMyBack]

Yes, it's completely reasonable.

The skirt in that picture would have been too short when I was in school. That girl would have been sent home.

[marakr]

times have changed
so has dress

[WindAtMyBack]

Don't ask a question if you don't want an answer.

Obviously the school making the rule also thinks it's reasonable. Their opinions are the ones that count. Your opinion does not. You will be dealing with rules the rest of your life, many of which you won't agree with. Get used to it.

[SquishyBuns2628]

Basically don't come to work in a skirt or dress that's for partying in. So everyone's body is shipped different and if I followed that rule my bum would be out saying hi to the world. Personally for me if its a bit above my knees;pencil skirt wise I'll leave it in my wardrobe for a dinner date. A pencil skirt or dress at my knees or below are probs a go to for work depending on the cut.

Only pedophiles insist on children being dressed in sexually revealing clothes. Especially the ones pretending it isn't sexually revealing. That's classic pedo behavior. GAG is teeming with pedophiles though.

[slatyb]

No, all dress codes are pretty unreasonable and mostly are used to shame young women. It's disgusting.

[strateguy632]

It is good and smart because tall have proportion arms

[Makeushiver]

That rule is supposed to apply only when your arms are crossed

[marakr]

arms have to be straight beside legs

[Nikki1989]

That would have never worked in my school days.

[KrakenAttackin]

The school should say a skirt should not be above your knee.

[genericname85]

for informal private stuff sure. for professional formal stuff, your skirt should be lower than your knees.

[In_Trance]

Because no matter your height, your fingertips are below your flapper

[WonderingManII]

I remember this dress code when I was in middle and high school.
