Dress Codes Should Be Allowed In Schools

Decent Essays
As a 8th grade student of NMS I agree with the dress code. The dress code prevents PDAs, physical conflict, and promotes a more peaceful environment at school. The dress code is the vary thing that keeps the students out of trouble.

Let’s start off with a PDA. First of all, a PDA is an abbreviation that stands for Public Display of Affection. PDAs occur when a student likes a another student and demonstrates it in public. Certain clothing gives students an urge to do a PDA. Luckily for our students, dress code prevents this urge by not allowing certain clothing such as spaghetti straps, midriffs, and short shorts. Now to address the next item on my list.

Have you ever seen someone where a racist shirt to school? If not,that means it violates the dress code. These shirts are not allowed because they promote violence. Violence is never a good thing. Shirts with select messages, pictures, and acts on them can be the cause of most violence in the school. That's why it is important to keep up with the dress code

    I would understand some inappropriate clothes with bad messages to restrict, but why do you think 99.99% are not appropriate to be worn at school. What I've come to experience with the dress down is a negative. I remember waking up knowing we had a dress down to not worry about putting my uniform in the washer/dryer. I just threw a t-shirt and a pair of shorts, and I come to school and apparently I just violated the dress code.…

    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…

    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.…

Another purpose may be to adequately prepare the students for the “real world”, which should be the main purpose of education. After all, many organization have in place strict dress codes that provide even less leeway, and it is arguable that the policies train students in the discipline that they will require. Both arguments are strongly refuted and countered by opposition who champion freedom of expression.…

    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.…

Girls should be able to wear clothes that will make them feel comfortable. Not only is dress coding a hassle, it also interferes with teens self confidence, learning, and education.
