Freedom Middle School Research Paper

Freedom Middle School needs some changes. The dress code is undeniably unfair. Especially for the women of this school. It is important to change the dress code because shoulders aren’t distracting, no one pays attention to thighs, and there are more things to worry about rather than seeing a bra strap.

First off, off the shoulder shirts aren’t all that. Guys and teachers do not get distracted by shoulders. Everyone has shoulders. I remember when Ms. Gaines called me over one day and said,” I see your shoulders. Cover them up.” As women of the 21st century, we shouldn’t have to cover up to please other people. They should be able to keep their eyes to themselves.

Second, rips in jeans aren’t even close to distracting. I get the whole

This led to the building of walls in the classroom to divide them up.…

    If Dinwiddie Middle School would let me change one thing about the dress code i think i would have to chose to change the policy about wearing a hood in school. I would chose to change this because sometimes having a hood on can greatly help students concentrate, sometimes it helps with headaches, and sometime students just get cold in school. I think that DMS should change their policy on wearing a hood in school. I think this because sometimes students think it is just a form of style.…

    In conclusion, I believe that the shoulder and bra strap dress code rule should be ameliorated or changed. It makes girls feel uncomfortable and insecure in their own skin. It teaches them to be ashamed of their perfectly-normal body parts, and most of the time they already feel bad enough. Lastly, females shouldn’t be concerned about wearing a shirt that reveals their shoulders so that male students can have better focus. A shoulder is a shoulder, and a bra strap is a bra strap, they will not debauch male students.…

    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 has their own opinion on what attire is appropriate for school; some people may feel that some of the clothes that the girls wear is “too much”, but what exactly is too much? A majority would say that revealing shoulders and bra straps are inappropriate, but others would think differently. While some of the clothes people wear shouldn’t be worn in a learning environment, society shouldn’t be biased and make a fair dress code for both male and female students because it can make female women students ashamed of their bodies, which is degrading and makes them out to be sexual objects. With male students having the privilege to wear almost whatever they want, it makes females feel like they should cover up their bodies due to the fact that their bodies can distract boys from getting an education.(Since a females education isn’t as important). There has been many incidents where a female student would be taken out of class or sent home because her shoulders were showing or was wearing shorts on a hot day.…
