Dress Code Swampscott Middle School

I have no clothes that follow this dress code! all shorts and skirts and dresses at stores go above the knee, there are barely any that go to the knee, and I'm not going to search for clothes at stores that I don't even want to wear! the warmer weather has came and I walk to school most days. I won't last very long in the heat with long shorts. I was upset about it being finger tips but I'm soo angry about this new rule. I don't want to wear the shorts. they aren't my style and I'm not spending money on shorts that I'm only wearing to school. I have a right to express myself fully with my clothing. its not like I'm about to wear a bikini to school but I'd like to be able to wear the shorts that I spent a large amount of money on for the finger length dress code that was last year! it's bad enough that he had to change it to this, but so soon without any warning! if he thinks he's "helping us learn" he's not. i don't know about you but when I'm dripping sweat in school because of the lack of air conditioning I'm pretty distracted. it's hard to pay attention if I'm constantly fanning myself. it's not healthy either! for being being hot for a long time gives me migraines and drys and cracks my skin! that might not happen to everyone but its still not pleasant. most boys shorts don't even go to the knee! they go like an inch above it! if I want to wear my shorts that go mid thigh, maybe 5 inches above my knee, I will! I'm not wasting my perfectly fine shorts because of a ridiculous dress code!
