  Case: Skimpier and skimpier
As the summer has gotten hotter, Mary's classroom attire has gotten skimpier and skimpier. What started with halter tops and miniskirts has quickly escalated into bikini tops and thong-revealing short shorts. While this has made her extremely popular with the men in the class (who flirt and lavish attention on her), the women in the class are unimpressed with her wardrobe and make rude comments behind her back before she comes to class. During a discussion on sexual assault, a woman in the class makes the comment, "If the girl dresses like a prostitute, she gets what she deserves." Mary does a slow turn and says indignantly, "You better not be talking about me." When should I have intervened? How?, What should I say to Mary? What should I say to the student who made the comment, and to the rest of the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You must remind the student of the school school dress code and remind them that they are not following proper school attire. I would have a sweater or cover up that I will make the student put on while in my class. I would re-introduce the student to the school rules handbook and send another one home to her parents to get signed. If this does not work I will have a conference with the parents.
