These days social networks have burned down after a poster of a school in Mexico was disseminated, in which Mothers were asked to do so when they went to pick up their children, wearing appropriate clothes to the place.
The opinions about this point are varied, so we ask ourselves: Is there or is there a need for a dress code for mothers who go to their children's schools?
The advertisement
The poster image was originally posted on the ZMG News Twitter account (which spreads news from Jalisco), where it quickly filled up with responses that they showed two points of view: who were in favor and who were against than what was read in the notice.

Attention
Mrs. Family Mothers
They are asked in the most attentive way, to come and pick up their children with appropriate clothes to this educational campus.
No mini short No miniskirts No low cut blouses. No tank tops. No transparent blouses.
Avoid the pain of returning it to change it to your house. Avoid unnecessary disrespect.
Atte. Their children".
It is not known with certainty in which school or city this happened, but according to the original image, it was in a school in Mexico.
The reactions
On the one hand, most people considered that the cartel was sexist, especially for that last line that says: "avoid unnecessary disrespect," a phrase that in Mexico has been much discussed due to femicides in recent years, where the media refer to the clothing worn by women. The argument is that no woman, whatever she wears, should be attacked, offended or insulted by someone else.
On the other hand, there were those who agree that they have posted the notice, because there are mothers who attend their children's school dressed in the clothes mentioned there. They think that common sense is not something that occurs at all and consider that wearing necklines is inappropriate for children.
How should mothers dress to go to their children's school?
Personally, I think everyone should be free to dress as they wish, but I also think there are times and places for everything. I wouldn't wear, for example, a party dress with a neckline to pick up my daughter at school. First, because I don't think I felt comfortable, and secondly, because it's not the time, the time or the place to wear something like that.
What we should all do, mothers and fathers alike, is to use common sense and understand that although it is not mandatory, it is necessary to follow certain rules of etiquette according to the place where we go.
I give a very easy example: the office or workplace. In most companies there is a dress code to follow. It is not well seen, for example, to go in transparent blouses to the office, so as much as we like them and how beautiful they look, it is not the place to wear them.
I totally agree that no woman should be attacked or offended by the clothes she wears. But I also agree that dressing in a certain way can offend or annoy other parents and children and just as we want respect, we must also give it.
And as for the poster, it seems unnecessary and poorly planned by the school. I think that as with any situation, it is best to go personally with each mother or father and resolve it directly and privately.
