Today I was sent home from school for arriving at 9:08am. I am suppose to be there at 9am. It was my second time being late for school in my 6 months of being there. Last week I was sent home for wearing leggings with a long sweater that was 4 inches above my knee. I was covered from head to toe, not revealing anything nor did anything show when I bent over, etc. The leggings were solid not see-through. Now I am a good student with an academic average of 92.8% and an attendance average of 95%. I am very passionate about what I do and care a great deal about doing a good job.
A while back we were having problems at our school with the dress code and tardiness amongst the students. For example, one girl wore see-through tights with a shirt not covering her ass. It wasn't a pretty sight. We had a meeting a couple weeks ago regarding these subjects and where shown what not to wear and told if we were one minute late we would not be allowed to sign/clock in.
After this meeting I had saw another student with a figure much like my own recently wear what appeared to be leggings before wearing my own leggings to school. The day after being sent home I asked her about it and she said her leggings had belt loops so they looked more like pants. Regarding my tardiness this morning because of an accident it took me one hour to get 12 miles. I usually leave at 7:40 to be at school by 9 but from now on I am going to leave by 7:15am. We can be there up to one hour early but we won't get credit till 9:00. I'll just go next store and read the paper or something.
I know I clearly broke the rules. My question to those of you out there is do you think rules should apply to all regardless of the circumstance or do you think there are exceptions. Where would you draw the line?
