    St. John’s Military School vs St. Edward’s School Although St. John’s Military School and St. Edward’s Catholic School are both private schools and have sports, at St. John’s we wore ACUs and were split up into companies. While St. Edward’s (St. Ed’s) we wore a nice polo with a nice pair of dress pants and every grade was split in half, and then separated. At St. John’s they have a very weird “welcoming” program, but St. Ed’s you just follow the person that is in your class.…

    Having gone to two different high schools I got to experience, firsthand, just how different two schools in the same county can be. Marvin ridge and Weddington High School are completely different in their appearance, their students and their academics. Marvin was the first high school that I attended. Its nickname was " Marvin Rich". The Ridge had a certain feeling to it when you stepped foot in its doors, almost as if the air was filled with exhaust from pricey cars and cologne from name brand stores.…

    There are many differences in school dress codes, for examples in our school, Sunset Ridge Middle School who has 12 different rules, the major being that we are not allowed to wear any articles of clothing that are mutilated, cut-off, or immodest. Stapley Junior High in Mesa, Arizona who only has six rules, are allowed to wear any article of clothing that do not show any straps, see through, or do not cover the entire back. Schools in different states have different dress code rules along with having teachers and administrators who have different interpretations of how they should be. Therefore, we do not know what dress code is the best or most correct for students and should allow the student to have their own decision in what they…

    These lax dress codes may reduce the amount of drug, gang and sex related issues, though they promote the act of bullying. A student who shows up to school in worn out clothes is prone to becoming an outcast to those who wear new clothes. Likewise, those who wear tight clothes are more susceptible to bully or be bullied by those who wear baggy clothes. As a result, many students segregate themselves from others which hinders their capability to acquire crucial life skills such as working with and feeling empathetic toward others. These issues can be reduced with ease by simply implementing dress codes much like those of charter schools.…

    Are Students Dress Coded

    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.…

    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.…

    In my English 111 class I was asked to write a comparison and contrast paper, and only one topic could come to mind. Comparing my normal high school (Northwest) to my school of choice (Roanoke Valley Early College). If you know someone who knows both schools very well, as myself, they will tell you that the two schools are like day and night. It’s so hard to believe that if I wouldn’t have gotten accepted to RVEC I would’ve been continuing at Northwest Halifax.…

    Are dress codes unfair, or should their arms be bare? Dress codes have been placed in schools for years, and many of them are to enforce respect in schools. Others, take a more judge mental stance, where they shame girls for wearing revealing clothes distract male students. Dress codes are sexist because they are mainly directed towards female students, they make girls uncomfortable and they teach students that a girl's body is sexualised.…

    As a white male high school junior I completely oppose the stringent dress code that was put into effort. The fact that students’ freedom to express themselves have been taken away is very unconstitutional, especially in a country that has always promoted free speech and one’s freedom to express themselves. Neither a school administrator nor anyone else should have the right to tell a student what to wear or to look. It should not be constitutional to tell a boy to cut his hair as it does in the Perryville School District dress code, as the length of a boys’ hair should not affect his right to learn. For example, in the case of Chesley Karr, who fought for his right to wear his hair long to school, I found it extremely unjust that he was robbed of a public school education simply because his hair was long.…
