They are one of those things that are good in theory but can be problematic in practice. For one thing, they enforce rigid gender conformity, which can cause problems on its own. In my experience, if often - and often subconsciously - gets a racist undertone to it, because for some reason even if they're wearing the same length skirts, white girls get a pass while Latina or black girls get called to the office.

Not always, just a disconcerting trend I noticed - i.e. I once wore a skirt where the actual skirt ended about half an inch above my fingertips, but the frills/dangling frays meant the skirt was well past the finger tip; I had to go change, despite the fact another girl was in a skirt just as short as mine was (without the frilly bits that added length. It may not have even been race-based, but it sure felt exclusionary and a bit like bullying.

If I have to choose between bullying from my classmates and bullying from the staff, I'll take classmates any day.
