Hardly Fair: A Silly School Dress Code Debate

Just a short while ago, I was innocently sitting in the cafeteria eating the excruciating and sorry excuse for a burger, when out of nowhere I expirienced a heat wave course through me.

If the school is going to make a dress code, than they should make a better effort to enforce it, shouldn't they? No one should be able to slip through the cracks.
