How To Change The School Dress Code

Decent Essays
Have you ever wanted to change the school dress code? Principles over exaggerate the dress code in a variety of ways. These issues need to be addressed. One big issue is shirts. Shirts cannot have long arm holes, they are dressy and must have three inches on the shoulder. Shirts with holes on the shoulder should not be against the dress code. Holes on student’s shoulders are not “distracting” or inappropriate. As long as the shirt has three inches on the shoulders before the holes it should be appropriate. Along with the three inches, all shirts need to have sleeves. They must be at least three inches. Anything under three inches should be a violation against the dress code. I think all shirts and dresses need to have sleeves.

    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.…

    Schools enforcing a dress code on students will hinder them to express themselves who they want to be. For instance, a student who is into superheroes would wear a superman shirt with matching socks. They display the comic in heroes; express the true nerdy side and being a kid who wants to learn. They also can be good in different subject such as art, reading and writing from interest in comics. Or if a girl is into flowers and animals express that they are joyful, bright and cheerful.…

    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.…

    According to www.mtnviewhs.com/dresscode.html, “No sleeveless shirts may be worn or any type of clothing that exposes the armpits”, it also states that “bare midriff clothing, halter tops, strapless tops, backless tops, racer back tops, spaghetti straps, tank tops, sleeveless shirts” are not allowed. Girls should not bear responsibility for boys’ reaction to their bodies, instead boys should be taught to control themselves instead of blaming girls for their ‘distractions’. It shouldn’t be normalized in school that the female body is a hindrance. It also states on http://www.mtnviewhs.com/dresscode.html “Athletic stretch pants of any length should not be worn. Pants should be worn at all times and not be so large that the crotch sags.…

    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.…

    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.…
