so she has every reason so say no shorts, for simplicity sake.

why risk seeing something amazing over matters of dress code?
and really, people are so quick to judge teachers and rules set but im sure that that rule in particular has her students best intrests at heart.


show some respect, thats an amazing opputunity that very few get, and you must know very little about the area if your so bent up about the shorts thing.

maybe look it up before you rip her apart for it.

and corrdct me please if im wrong but i thinkt he lows are LOW 50's and high mid 70's. thats hardly swimming weather and though winter clothes are probabley over kill, its by no means summer.
Yes, I know some of Vatacin city has a dress code... but to tell the kids not to pack shorts while in rome is stupid. They need to have a pair or two of jeans packed in order to dress correctly depending on what they are doing, but saying only Americans wear shorts is just stupid. That is the dumbest thing I've heard.

Also if a teacher is taking students to Europe you would think she could look on the internet and see what the temp was expected to be.

They wear shorts in Europe and parts of Rome.
