I strongly agree to this article because, it's true, we are told we would be treated as young adults, but are told what we have to wear? It doesn't make sense to me.  First off, I think the "thumb rule" is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary because everyone's arms are different lengths. For example, I have really long legs and arms, and when I measure the "thumb rule" my thumbs go all the way to like almost my mid thigh. Nike running shorts aren't even that long, so what do they want me to wear? Bermudas? Sorry but that's not happening.  I also don't understand how showing your shoulders can be a distraction to learning.  What's wrong with spaghetti straps? They're no different from a normal tank top besides the amount of shoulder is showing. If our outfit was really that inappropriate, our parents probably wouldn't let us leave the house wearing it.  I think that the dress code should be a little less strict and ridiculous than it is now.  As long as our clothes don't show any part of our body that shouldn't be shown to the public, I don't see why we can't wear it.
