Dress Free Some school districts decided to enforce dress codes that limits students on what they want to wear. Why schools put in a school dress code? The dress code violates freedom of expression, promotes sexism and poses little to no effect on safety. Is this the school’s way of controlling the students?…
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.…
Dress codes standards send home students every day, all over the country, for being too revealing. Most are girls, and on occasions, boys that struggle with the standards, therefore they should be lowered. It’s taking away from your class time, limits self-expression, and the rules can sometimes not be correctly administered are all problems caused by dress codes standards. The dress code can take away from class time because everyone is more concerned with how we are dressed, rather than worrying about if we’ll do good on our next math test, or studying for the history final. During class, teachers can stop their lesson to tell one of their students that they are violating dress codes, therefore taking time away from class and from other students learning for something that is not relevant outside of school.…
Everyone including students and teachers have to follow dress code(2). Dress code is not used against people of any religious belief(2). Dress Code is used in school because it prevents violent and abusive behavior, not because it targets one gender or race(2). Dress Code is also used to make schools look good. If a school doesn’t have a solid dress code and students are walking around in whatever they want to wear the school is not going to be seen as a fine school to go to(3).…
Dress codes and uniforms have impacted schools in a plethora of ways. They are being created at schools all over the world. Implementing these rules into schools cause many unnecessary problems. Dress codes and uniforms are ineffective because they do not make anything in schools better, such as school violence or grade improvement. Even though people have their own opinions, dress codes are not an appropriate thing.…
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.…
Students from Burroughs High said that “According to the policy, their clothing must not detract from the academic environment.” Schools often say that wearing these clothes are wrong and that they shouldn’t be worn. But, it is their bodies and girls should be wearing what they want and the distraction is actually the teachers sending classmates out for distracting the class. Often it is the male teachers say these things on a few occasions women only dress code them for respect not in a sexual…
Did you know that there are many students getting killed by other students that profess to be in a gang? Well, I believe that many students should wear what they want to wear, but not anything that is short or something that represents anything that is harmful. In the text it reads, “They say dress codes and uniforms are obstacles to individuality. For these students, freedom of expression is more important than following rules.” First, there is nothing wrong with having dress codes.…
The idea of school dress codes being sexist and encouraging rape culture has become very popular across school districts. There are stories about protests and strikes all around the country. 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. These boys need to be taught self control and I should not get punished because I was dressing comfortably for the weather.…
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 codes teach girls that their bodies are sexual and that they are distracting to boys. By constantly pushing the rules about covering the shoulders or making sure your shorts are at the knee, makes it so that anything shorter or more revealing is too sexy. Dress codes make the problem worse, because the more taboo something is, the more it intrigues students and teens to look or be “distracted”. The dress code tells girls that their bodies are provocative and they are forced to cover up because if they don't then they will get harassed, because that's what they think will make a difference. The dress code teaches girls that their bodies are sexual and that boys cannot handle themselves, just because a girl's shoulder is showing.…
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…
The school dress code has been argued about for years. There are some that say yes, in fact there are 20% that say that the dress code is good and that it is needed. There are 80% that say that it is not good and it is not needed. Some of the reasons are for safety. The first reason is for hats, they are big enough to fit something that can harm someone under it.…
Have you ever been sent home for wearing the wrong clothing? Have you ever been told your clothes weren’t appropriate? If you have, you’ve been a victim of violating the dress code. If there is one thing that students worry about during the school year, it would be the dress code. Removing dress codes in middle and high schools is a controversial topic recently because some say they are to help lead a safer education and prepare students for the workforce, while others say they are irrelevant and unfair.…
