Isn't it standard for kids to sit crosslegged on the floor?

Sort of off topic (I just can't talk underwear any longer), when people say "criss cross applesauce" it makes me cringe. It's so dorky. I get that you can't say Indian-style any longer like when I was a kid, but can't they just say "sit cross-legged?"

So....I don't have to read all 8 pages of the FFFC now? This is pretty much all that happened? Cool.

Three thoughts 

1) I wore shorts under dresses at school or I just didn't wear a dress. Those were my options given to me by my parents. As such, I rarely wear dresses to this day. 

2) I am also glad I have a boy and am now second guessing my desire to have a daughter sometime in the future.

3) There seems to be a lot of angst across the board since last week's hoopla. I hope that changes soon.

I can't believe this is now becoming ANOTHER post about what your kid wears under a dress! Enough! The horse is DEAD! Who cares?

Teachers should also wear shorts under their dresses and skirts. I was flashed by a coworker during circle time.  

Not cool.

Oh yes! Did you miss when I was hired? The law states only one post on what to wear under dresses every day

Yes, exactly. Now is it a requirement to have a friend with a certified creep for a husband? I have to think if I have that. ;

You obviously were not a kinder teacher. It is a lot easier to have expectations of everyone sitting the same way with their hands in their lap. That way they are not kicking the person beside or in front of them. I have never seen a kinder class where kids don't have to sit this way. I am sorry your child is above the rules you will have a huge reality check when your kid goes to school. Not to mention I have never seen a school that the dress code does not mandate shorts under dresses. Or is your snowflake so special she does not have to follow dress code either?

I taught preschool, kindergarten, and first grade.

I've never taught in a school that had a code about what kids had to wear under their clothes. If they wore dresses, they just sat on their bottoms with their legs in front of them, closed. Which is how an adult would sit. I think it's more important to teach them how to sit in a dress than to just put a bandaid on the problem.

The school we are planning to send her to is a private school with a uniform. I know several kids (well, parents who send their kids) who go to this school and none of the girls wear shorts under their jumpers.

If my kid were not wearing shorts and the teacher made her flash everyone, regardless of whether or not she were breaking the rules by not wearing shorts, yes, I would be furious.

A private school is a good choice they are used to catering to entitled nuts.

I've been looking at private schools, at the most likely place we'll move to next year, and at least one of them requires that kindergarteners wear bike shorts under their dresses, primarily for modesty during nap.

I can say this underwear debate is way more ridiculous than pouches or dandelions. Seriously! I would have never imagined anyone could be convinced there isn't a need in some situations for girls to throw on a pair of shorts under a dress. I prefer to let my kid run and play at the park instead of reminding her to pull her dress down. If I can throw on a pair of shorts under to keep myself from saying, "Ava, pull your dress down" 63 millions times I will do it. Lazy parenting for the win!

obviously there are two groups of parents on the bump. The perfect ones and the pouch feeding, TV watching, shorts wearing lazy ones. 

Proud to say I'm in the second group.  LMAO

I can only take credit for one of those...I think. Though I guess I did start this as well. LOL

When I think cross-legged I think like straight out with your ankles crossed? Is that what Cinema meant? Oops! I do tell DD to just sit with her legs crossed. It sounds so dumb to say it, but I was in the "can't beat them, join them" mode earlier.

I feel like I was partly responsible for the underwear thing. I really didn't think it would blow up like it did.

I blame you too. Yes, you. Not me.

Or we could go back to blaming it on you. I'm cool with that.

I'll let you take this one. I get blamed for everything...I'm sure tornados and global warming will be next. I feel like Obama when Fox News covers him...it's all my fault.
