School's Dress Code

Decent Essays
Do you agree with your school’s dress code? Would you like to see any changes made to it? In my opinion some things should change but, but most remain the same. There is many reasons why I feel this way. For one, some things the school does is just unreasonable if in my point of view. Children should have freedom of choice when it comes to picking out cloths for school. I believe that children should be allowed to wear whatever color gym cloths they want, they should be allowed to wear hats without a pass, and should be allowed to wear shirts with their shoulders showing. To begin, kids should be allowed to wear the color gym cloths of their choice. Under these circumstances, they still need to be athletic cloths. As previously stated

    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.

    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.…

    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.…

    Dress codes are nothing new to our society. Many times clothing guidelines are set up in the workplace, and more commonly in today’s schools. Dress codes are often implemented into school systems to “prepare kids for the real world” but some school systems believe that certain articles’ of girls attire should be prohibited because they “distract” boys. Are these strict guidelines fair and appropriate for both young men and women? Most dress codes restrict wearing skirts and dresses that are “too short”, low cut shirts, yoga pants or leggings, all of which are worn by young ladies.…

    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…

    I believe that everyone should be treated equally, but that doesn't always happen. Every year kids age 10-14 decided to go to the final stage from being bullied. Over 4,400 kids die a year from this, either by what they wear, physically being harmed, or what group in society they are labeled in. A lot of kids don't feel confident in what they wear because they are always judged, so I think that schools should make every child follow a uniform dress code, or uniforms. Religion is a huge part of what makes us, us.…
