Reporter, Tara Deschamps published a report on dress codes on Toronto students. Alex Halket had never been suspended or expelled in her 14 years of being in school. Nevertheless, it came to pass when she decided to go to class in a bare midriff with sleeveless and black patterned crop top. Since then, she has not stepped in her principal’s office. Halket’s vice principal pulled her into the office and told her that the dress code was too inappropriate and looked too much like a bra.…
“I always look at the way someone dresses, I can always tell what kind of person they are” Declared Kelli Chu, eighth grade student at Gale Ranch Middle School. The school handbook clearly states that school is a professional environment. “In order to look professional, you have to wear professional clothing” Announced Mrs. Johnson, when she was going over the dress code policy during tutorial. Some think Mrs. Johnson’s students looked at Mrs. Johnson with disgust, because they were whispering to one another about how nobody followed school dress code. Gale Ranch Students doesn’t like school dress code because they think they should be able to wear clothes that expresses themselves.…
Students have set rules and expectations to follow. One rule would be dress code. At Beaufort High School a 17 year old Student Body President was stopped by a teacher in the hallway and was told, “Your skirt is too short. You need to go to in-school suspension and then go home”. After she was told to go to in-school suspension, she was told that she could go home and change.…
Linglestown Middle School is a beautiful place. Over the course of our education here we have been given many good life lessons by our phenomenal teachers. however, there are some issues. Students feel silenced by the support structures in place at our school. These are not necessarily flawed institutions, but they are not working for the student body as it is now.…
I have decided to write this journal article on an article that I found online that speaks directly to experiences that I had throughout middle school and high school. The article is titled, “The Sexism of School Dress Codes”. A young girl named Maggie Sunseri noticed that the dress codes in her school were geared more directly to girls than it was to boys. At first, Maggie rightfully saw this concept to be unfair. The rationale that the administrators gave behind this idea, however, was even more upsetting to Maggie.…
The kids and teachers have been up to par, yet some of the rules have not been. I want the kids to not feel trapped in the uniforms, in order to be happy and motivated to succeed. You give us dress down days of the strictest guidelines. "Bishop Moore top, jeans or bishop more bottoms" is this even a dress down day. Why are we paying more money to you for just another uniform.…
Context: Denton Elementary is a small school near the heart of Lansing. The school itself is in pretty nice shape. It is newly painted thanks to the teachers. One of the local hardware stores donated the paint and in the summer the teachers came in and repainted the whole interior of the building. The children are from a lot of different backgrounds.…
Dear Mr. Burns and Mrs. Maro, Many students at Washington Middle School agree that the shorts rule shouldn't exist. For various reasons the shorts dress code is unfair and harmful to the students learning. The heat is unbearable let alone while wearing pants. Shorts that meet dress code requirements aren't easy to find for female students and Why does Washington have a shorts rule when other air conditioned schools in the DCSD don't have one? In this letter I hope you realize how unfair and harmful the shorts dress code really is.…
The Lower Merion School District provided laptop computers to high school students as part of a one to one program. The program allowed the students to bring home a laptop computer provided by the school district. Unbeknownst to the students or their parents the laptop computers were all programed with spyware that gave the school district access to the computers’ webcam. The goal of the one to one program was to increase the connectivity between home and school for students. The access to computers enabled the students to access online programs and activities that relate to the information that the students learned in the classroom during the day.…
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.…
We believe that we the students are mature enough to know what to wear and what not to wear. We should be judged by our actions instead of our clothes. Clothes shouldn’t matter or label us in any way or form. We bring up this complaint…
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.…
Jackson High school needs to change the dress code, the reasoning behind the rules, and inequality of gender treatment. Most dress codes are hard for girls to follow and not break due to simple things such as a bra strap showing, shorts too short, or shoulders showing. “20 percent of American public schools required…
Salutations! It has come time in our great school to elect a supreme leader that will guide our school in a direction of prosperity.

I will make every effort to improve the lives of the students by making several necessary changes to our fine establishment. The changes that I will enact will save our school money, increase order, and finally ensure the safety of our students.…
