The discussion became so heated that the school even decided to respond to it. According to them, the guidelines on clothing were once drawn up to maintain ‘reasonable decency’. The father felt that he and the school had quite a difference of opinion about what reasonable decency should look like. His daughter’s outfit was decent, according to him.
The principal of the school then decided to schedule a meeting to discuss the matter. After a long discussion with the other teachers and Tony, he admitted that he was open to negotiating and changing certain things in the regulations.
