That's the real root of the issue. At the high school
I was teaching at there is a very clearly defined
dress code (a district-wide one, for that matter.)
You would have these teenage girls come in with their
boobs about to pop out of their blouses, yet nothing
would be said about it. If you as a teacher, turned
them in, and you were a male teacher, you couldn't
specify what their dress code violation was, as it
would imply that you were looking at their boobs.
That meant that if you tried to enforce the rules, you
were in trouble. All you could do was send them to
the office with a note about "checking the dress code"
and nothing more.
That way, if someone accused you of staring at their
chest, you could just say that a student complained,
you didn't know what the reason was, so you sent them
down.
As a result, the dress code was rarely ever enforced,
since it was more trouble to do so, or you could risk
some sort of backlash from turning the student in.
There are other schools in the district where dress
code violations are not tolerated - period. That's
because the principal has dictated that they will be
enforced. In the case of my school it wasn't, and as
a result, the parents would complain if they got
called about their kid's clothing (consider that Mom &
Dad sent them to school that way, too.)
This is a good example of how the principal can make
or break you without any direct interaction...
