My daughter is in 8th grade and has a 8th grade dance this year. It's exciting to dress shop with her. Our school district has a strict no strapless dress code also. I have absolutley no problem with this rule. They are too young to wear dresses they are too tight, too short & strapless. There are hundreds of dresses that have thin straps and look great on the girls. The school districts make rules to protect the students whether its rules for girls or boys, just follow them.

WAKE UP!!! first, any parent not up in arms about having their kid "chipped" is not only letting their kid down but they are letting all Americans down by allowing this rapidly growing trend to take place! Isn't it obvious to you people yet? Do you really think the school paid for this out of pocket? Your kids are being used as prototypes. I hope all the sheep parents wake up because one day soon YOU might be chipped! WAKE THE F*#K UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
