What am I missing here. How old are these girls and who's attention are they attracting?

Yes you did but didn't answer my question.

it's basically a version of a girls' school uniform. Certain color/style school shoes, certain color school shirts, and longer hair is placed in a braid or a ponytail.
(This is universal in many Orthodox girls schools, however they are usually fine with the braid or ponytail. They do not usually measure with a ruler -- hence the uproar.)

Except that, as was pointed out before, the school did not use a ruler.

They were eyeballing. The ruler was if a parent wanted to measure in cases where it was borderline.

Would you say that the majority of the mothers in this school wear shaitels that are significantly longer than the required length for the girls or not?

Majority? Significantly? No

She is the one measuring not the teacher who is sitting at a desk. Why is that complicated?

I don't have a problem with any of that. My kids went to school with some of the same rules. My question is the comments about drawing attention (girls with long hair). What attention are they talking about?

It is to train them for the future when they are old enough.

Don't they have to cover their hair when they are older?

Only when married. Also in most circles they may wear a wig which would have the same restrictions.

The mother measured the whole class?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

She measured her three daughters

You know for a fact that one measuring the hair is the mother and not a school staffer?
