It's time for school! But on May 14th, 170 students at Duncanville High School in Texas,
US, were told to go back home.
Why? Because they were wearing the wrong clothes to school.
Schools in the US don’t always ask students to wear uniforms. But they have dress codes (着装要求). For example, Duncanville High School tells students to wear belts, shirts withoutlogos （标识）.
Schools’ most-hated (最讨厌的) clothes are different.
In 2011, the saggy ( 松垮 的 ) trousers law was passed in Florida. It stops students fromwearing trousers that show body parts.
Now, "the favorite new target ( 目 标 ) of the school dress code" is leggings( 紧 身 裤 ), reported the Associated Press. Some schools don't allow leggings. Other schools ask students towear a shirt or a skirt over leggings.
Some students complain (抱怨) that schools are going too far(做得太过分) .
But schools say dress codes help protect students’ safety and make sure they grow up with goodtaste (有良好的鉴赏力).
"We want to teach them that they must meet the expectations (期望) not only here in school, but also outside school," said Andre Smith.What happened to 170 students at Duncanville High School on May 14th?

| Important Tips and Notices 1. Please do not believe the " warm—hearted" guides or drivers( especially in railway station) and book your day visit from a legal travel agency. 2. Choose comfortable footwear, and if necessary, bring a good grip and support for your feet. Layers of clothes that can be taken on and off provide the best comfort and temperature control. Bring sun protection in summer and dress for sub zero temperatures in winter. It can feel much colder on the mountain than down in the valleys. 3. Asking you to take a picture is normal and friendly. They call this "making hello". It is not a scam(骗局). 4. Bring toilet paper because most water closets don't have any. 5. The most important phrase to know is " Boo—yao " which is loosely translated as " No, I don't want that cheap plastic souvenir/guidebook/ Rolex watches / Gucci bag you're trying to sell me, and I really mean it.
