Are school dress codes a good idea? I think that school dress codes are a good idea because it helps students not mess their clothes up and they don't constantly have to be buying clothes. I believe that it also helps the student because some people might no be able to afford the clothes that others do. Some people might get bullied cause of what they wear and some people might wear inappropriate things show alot of skin and body. Wearing school uniform is good for safety too because then you don't have too worry about anyone coming into your school dressed in regular clothes like a normal student. With school uniform students are much safer you can tell the difference from all of them what grade your in and what school you go too. I also believe

    If the schools did not have dress codes, the students would be able to wear clothing that is inappropriate or distracting to the other students, and it could take away from the other students’ learning. Without a dress code, student could also wear clothes that promote illegal things like underage drinking or gangs. Schools also typically regulate some of the things that students can say. An example of this is that students are usually punished in some way if they say inappropriate word or insult teachers or other students. This is obviously a necessary thing for schools regulate.…

    Administration such as Senator Stephenson must immediately send innocent children to the office for this ridiculous blue-coated “Dress-code Violation” attire and pressing suspension to those who wish not to humiliate and embarrass themselves throughout the school day. I say it is downright deliberate intent to embarrass every student in every way possible by their operation of throwing the “Blue Suit” upon us. But certainly, from here on out, Westlake High School Dress-code shall no longer be enforced. We, students of Westlake High School now consider ourselves free to wear as we wish. He has refused to pass other laws on how teachers shouldn’t loosely teach us students without the intent of us learning something, yet he’d rather enforce something less important in a school atmosphere; an interrupted right to wear what we solemnly desire to express ourselves.…

    Ever since we started school we’ve had to deal with dress code. However, schools have different rules such as whether you have to wear uniforms or how short your skirts can be. My elementary school required us to wear uniforms and as the years went on the dress code got progressively stricter. When I moved on to high school it wasn’t much better. They would constantly send people to the office to get a change of clothes, but by doing this they also removed students from their classes, making them fall behind.…

    Overall, I have concluded that there should be dress code guidelines for certain jobs, but they should ban them from schools. Kids should be worrying about their education and not their style. There is nothing wrong with dressing how you want to dress; so if a dress code is a problem, then simply try go somewhere else if you're able. Not everyone is going to agree with your style, but if it makes you happy, then don't worry about what people think. It's your lifestyle, and you deserve to be able to live your life the way you want!…

    9. Schools should have dress codes. The people in schools have no choice but to be there. If someone in a school wears something offensive, (not properly covering themselves, or having some offensive graphics) the people who are offended are forced to deal with the offensive clothing. If a school has a dress code, then people will be unable to wear offensive clothing and we can avoid the previous situation.…

    We all know that group of girls who show up to school with their breast popping out of their shirts, butts hanging out of their shorts, and belly shirts that show way too much skin. Obviously, dressing like this to school is in no way appropriate, and should be addressed. Another argument of why the dress code should be enforced is the fact that school is a learning environment and that we should be teaching kids how to dress for the future. By doing this, you are helping young adults understand that wearing a crop top or (for boys) wearing saggy pants to an interview definitely won’t get you a job. Others may say that enforcing the dress code, like providing school uniforms, will help families that are in poverty and will decrease bullying when it comes to making fun of someone’s…

    Dress code is a subject that students feel should be less strict. Certain ideas and concepts pertaining to school dress code can be more lenient while still being effective. There are many unnecessary rules that could easily be fixed instead of being so forbidding. For example, the sexism and gender bias in the code is derogatory towards female students. However, it is agreed that we should have a dress code of some sort rather than eliminating it all together.…

    The topic of discussion regarding dress codes within high schools has been making its way around Canadian provinces when girls have been sent home for their clothing being too distracting for other students and staff around them. Girls who are being targeted for what they are wearing to class may feel as if that the boys education around them is more important then their own, seeing as they must leave to change their clothing before the can return back to class and learning. It is most common that these issues are occurring when the warmer months begin to approach, girls begin to make use of tank tops and cooler clothing options then those that may begin to get too warm. High school dress codes are beginning to over step boundaries and are becoming unfair to adolescent girls; while boys are beginning to be seen as superior to girls when it comes to their education.…
