Heck, I'm so old that when I wore a nice pair of wool slacks to school one cold winter morning, I got to spend the day sitting in the office because girls were required to wear skirts! (They would have sent me home to change clothes but I rode the bus, so that was not an option.)

Yeah, they really taught me a lesson. . . following year I sat on a student committee that took a calm, reasoned approach and successfully convinced admin to revise the dress code LOL
