I need advice on how I should handle this situation *Dotchi*

As you prolly remember, I take the boys to the homeschool group on Tuesdays. They have that dress code! Anyway, yesterday amid all of Miles papers, I noticed a dress code sheet with a few things highlighted. Obviously for me! So I read the highlighted stuff.

"No short shorts... shorts must be longer than the tip of your fingertips while standing"

and

"No tank tops..."

So after I calmed down, I measured all my shorts carefully. They are ALL longer than fingertip length. Granted, they don't go down to my knees, but they aren't outside the code. The only shirts I wear are sleeveless or shortsleeve. I never wear a tank top there. Sleeveless is OKAY *if* it doesn't show undergarments. (Mine don't)

So I tried to think of ANYTIME when I wore ANYTHING outside the dress code. Nada. Can't think of one. Now my first thought was to chew them out, snivveling little cliquish hippocrates! BUT the logical side says "NO, wait for them to confront you" by then I'll be kicked out LOL. Then I thought "I should ask!" But why draw attention to it? I mean there is one lady there who wears jeans that are painted on her body. How she moves is beyond me. And tight fitting clothes is against the rules (as is her little spaghetti strap shirts and belly shirts) BUT I am trying not to mention this as *I* would not want to be petty like them. BUT I know I am right on this one.

Now if they don't like shorts there (since I am the ONLY one who wears shorts I assume it's not a mistake) then I can't go and neither can the boys. That's not fair to them. But I have a heat allergy which is why I dress the way I do. And If I have to go get a doctors note to have permission to keep wearing shorts and sleeveless shirts (It's too hot here) then it isn't worth my wasted $15 and I don't want to have to go and wheeze my way through the classes.

I'm not sure what to do. I want to finish the year out for Miles b/c he does like it (then I start my reject group LMAO) but if they are going to ridicule me for the way I dress (which my dress is not inappropriate by their dresss code) then I don't see a point in continuing. See what I mean? Any advice on how to handle this? I'd hate to blow up and look like the psycho "northerner" LOL

Date: 2/13/2002 6:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 37471    Nobody notices the dress code anymore unless you have a shirt that REALLY stands out, like with a Big pot leaf on it or something like that.  
Date: 2/13/2002 6:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 42792    this is an easy one. First you need to calm down to think clearer. Go and talk to the powers that be. Ask them diplomatically, of course, I was wondering if by chance you have a problem with my daily attire? I have heat sensitivity and I want you to know that I respect your rules and realize that they must be enforced but unfortunately, in having severe heat sensitivy it is necessary for me to wear shorts and short sleeved shirts. I in no way wish to be insubordinate to your rules however, I must take my health issues as a priority. I admire your standards and am sure that you will be able to find this acceptable and I'd like to thank you in advance for understanding.---that should do the trick---good luck<<HUGS>>  
Date: 2/13/2002 6:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 33925    Ok..let me clear up my confusion first ok? You are being told how to dress at a place you take your kids?? You are an adult...are you not?? This Homeschool Group has a dresscode?? Okies, now Ive heard everything..Im sorry but that is ridiculous...I can see if you were coming in dressed like a streetwalker or something...but to question your NORMAL wear?? Forgive me if I find this totally ridiculous..LOL..Im sorry you are having to deal with this kind of bull..its not fair to you and its NOT fair to your boys for sure..xoxo  
Date: 2/13/2002 7:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 46005    Man i can remember the longer than finger tips rule at my highschool, and I was tall, so it always seemed like my shorts were longer than everyone elses...... I hated that rule, cause it is hard to find knee length lei's for girls. But personally I would wait till approached in person, then ask them to show you on your attire whats wrong with what you are wearing, because the way you understand school policy, you arent breaking any rules, and if they have any further complaints, than perhaps they can buy your school clothes for you, and it will no longer be a problem. Also inform them that- you are a student, but you are also human, the appropriate way to handle this situation would have been to pass a reminder out to all students, not just single certain students out, and if they feel the need to point you out, than perhaps they should have a personal meeting with you as well.. Hope you geth this resolved!  
Date: 2/13/2002 8:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 45551    i'd let them come to me, prsonally, like you i would be insulted that noone could come talk to me about a prob they were haveing with me, and just highlighted some things on a paper, remember if you dont say anything when they finally do, if they do, you can say why didnt you come and talk to me, no one in thier right mind would say" we've been dropping hints" i dont think they will say any thing, they are prob afraid of confrontation, so kick back and enjoy the fact that you know you annoy them, and they dont have the guts to say a thing(lol)  
Date: 2/14/2002 5:55:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16865    Well, I decided to wait it out and have them come to me. LMAO@ Master of Fate! You are correct, what person in their right mind would say "We've been dropping hints" LOL I'll let you all know what comes of it.
