Reply #19: She could have MENTIONED this to someone beforehand

[jmowreader]

I think I pointed this out but maybe not: in yesterday's paper, the principal (a woman) said that the dress code for graduation (this is the second time they used it) was discussed at senior class meetings held to plan out graduation. She also said that if it had been brought up, it could have been addressed. I've met this principal when she bought stuff from me. She at least seems like a decent person.

The student in question says she never wore a dress to school so she just figured they'd assume she wasn't going to wear one to graduation either. Remember what I said earlier: a LOT of the girls who go to that school never wear dresses to school. Yet somehow all of them managed to find their way into one for graduation. Something tells me that many of the graduates would have enjoyed having the option of wearing slacks and blouse instead of dress and pumps.
