Why is it our grade school and middle school has a dress code but our high school does not?

My second grade daughter got a dress code violation today because the straps of her shirt were too thin. My 15 year old daughter can wear whatever she wants to school regardless of how much skin it shows. This is the same school district. I should probably ask them but wanted to hear other peoples thoughts on it.

We had very strict uniforms all through school. I had to wear socks or stockings, skirt, blouse, tie and blazer.

@MrsPeterEvans Very good. I wish more schools were like that!

@MrsPeterEvans I am far right, front

Uncle · 46-50, M

@MrsPeterEvans Yes, the young lady who apparently did not notice her stocking tops are showing.

@Uncle I know! Dad made me wear stockings to school. I think the other girls are in tights

Uncle · 46-50, M

@MrsPeterEvans I'd think knee socks would be most proper for school, but then, I'm a bit old-fashioned. :)

I did have knee socks mostly, dark ones, but the other girls were allowed tights so I begged to wear them but my dad didn’t like tights so I was allowed stockings for best and for school when I was older @Uncle
