Mom, you were a great deal kinder than I would have been. "Dressing for success" I doubt is not in any public school curriculum, particularly middle school. I hope you took your concern to the PTA for the support of other parents. The principal's arrogance & ignorance need correcting.
As an educator, the principal was totally out of line.

I applaud Mom for her aggressive response to this misguided educator. I hope every parent in the district joined her protest.
