We are sure enough that our students from AHS would be mature enough to know what is right to use and what is wrong to use. We should not limit our choices of dress wear because of stereotypes. We live in a 21 century where we should see past what people wear.We hold these truths to be self-evident because we believe that we have the right to wear ripped jeans or anything that we are not allowed to wear. We believe that we the students are mature enough to know what to wear and what not to wear. We should be judged by our actions instead of our clothes. Clothes shouldn’t matter or label us in any way or form.We bring up this complaint

    In “White Tops, Grey Bottoms”, Akerman described why schools have a strict dress code which students must follow and cannot break. The writer mentioned the dress code should be accepted with not only white and grey for tops and bottoms but also a variety of colors and design (330-332). This reading reminded me of my own experience with a strict dress code. When I was a high school student, my school also had a strict dress code. For example, all students must have measured the size of their bodies in the school in order not to let students change the school uniforms such as a star mark and kind of a hard plank inside the girl’s skirts, which means teachers can find whether or not the girl students change their skirts.…

    Many students get dress coded every year and some are so outrageous that you wonder if the people who sent them home were thinking how can I make this person's day terrible. From students being sent home from clothing violations to percing violations, no matter what it is it affects the student's day. When a student is dress coded they usually go the rest of the day mad or sad so they don’t want to do their work. The students want to be able to wear their own clothes to school and don’t want to have to worry about getting yelled at for their clothing. Clothes are not the only things students get yelled at for, they also get in trouble for hair dye and piercings.…

    Charter Of Freedoms

    Former Canadian Minister of Trade, Richard John Cartwright, once said: “every real friend of liberty, will agree with me in saying that if we must erect safeguards, they should be rather for the security of the individual than of the mass”. It was in this spirit that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were established over a century later, entrenched in Canadian law. However, in our modern society, there still persists a struggle between two major groups: those who wish to enforce policies and those who wish freedom from any such enforcements. The Charter has formed the base around which both groups build their arguments. The task of balancing and deciding which side is in the right falls upon judiciaries, who utilize…

    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.…

    When teachers give dress code violations to a girl for wearing shorts that are too short or because her choice in clothing is ‘innappropriate’, you are telling her that hiding her body and normal female parts (such as stomach, shoulders or thighs) is more important than her education. You are also telling her that a boys’ disturbance-free learning is more significant than her disturbance-free learning. Obviously some degree of dress code is important but shoulders, stomach and thighs should not be classed as inappropriate or distracting. The school dress code treats males and females differently.…

I have witnessed these “dress code violations” and from what I witnessed, none of these girls were in the wrong. There have been too many times that young ladies get dress coded because what they are wearing is a “distraction” to young men.

    The dress code should be less strict in that we dress to show our personalities and express ourselves. It should also be less derogatory towards female students, because “their bodies will distract the boys,” is a sexist statement claiming that boys will be boys and that girls just need to deal and accept it. Most girls breaking the dress code do not do it for attention, but when they spend money on clothes that have nothing wrong with them they want to wear them. In fact, it is hard to find clothes manufactured to actually fit the “dress code” due to designers conforming to society's new…

    At least 58% of schools in the United States enforce a strict dress code. School dress codes and uniforms in private and public schools can be both helpful and harmful to students in relation to their learning and social skills. Implementing school dress codes has shown to increase concentration in the classroom due to the lack of extreme clothing or hair styles, less peer pressure since everyone has to wear the same clothes, and an increase in school safety. According to Don Woodard, a high school principal in Johnston county, The students’ “demeanor is better and there are fewer distractions because of teasing, or students being uncomfortable because of the apparel that others are wearing.” But they also say it's unconstitutional because schools are taking away students freedom of expression.…
