As one can see a majority of teens believe that the school enforced dress codes limit their personality and their ability to express themselves, but schools have a very different opinion on how students should be able to express themselves at school. “A dress code encourages students to express their individuality through personality and academic achievements, not outward appearances” (Polk High School Handbook). But what if a child is not good at academics, and she is very artistic, how is she supposed to express herself? She cannot, there would be no way to let her artistic talent and abilities show, how is that fair for her? Dress codes does not only objectify women it also also teach guys to objectify girls in a way that they will not see any
