Question

Is it okay for a teacher to make a student buy new shorts because they are too "short"?
My is on a one-night field trip with an all girls choir. The teacher looked at my sisters shorts and said that they were too short. The shorts she was wearing were running shorts.

She then asked my sister if she had any other pants, but she only had sweatpants for that night. She said that she could not wear the sweatpants, and that she had to buy new ones for $15.00

Answer 1

They can dress code you but they can't make you buy them

Answer 2

If your school has a dress code yes but i doesnt make sense to make you buy some that is 15 dollars

Answer 3

The teacher was enforcing her own dresscode, not the schools
