Code

Dress code in my school is absolutely absurd. About a week ago I was wearing some holy jeans, and I wouldn’t even call them holy jeans. They have about two holes, one on each knee. I ended up getting dress coded and having to wear scrubs! Although before I was perfectly fine and nobody really noticed, what I was wearing. Then...The bright pink, ten sizes, too big scrubs were on what sadly had to be my legs… I felt embarrassed, like I couldn’t even focus on my school work, and worst of all I had…

is the ancient law code of Hammurabi. The author is King Hammurabi who had rule over Babylon from 1792 to 1750 BCE. According to the text, he narrates that he had been ordered to establish these rules by the sun god Shamash, who was believed to be the god of justice. He also makes reference to Marduk, the main deity that the Babylonians had faith in. The purpose of this text was to establish a set of rules and guidelines that the people of Babylon could abide by. Since this code, carved on a…

one excuse that I feel like is overrated from adults is the reason to why a school’s dress code is the way it is. It exhibits both racist and sexual themes. Therefore what example does that show off on male students? That it's OK to blame your fellow female classmate for your grade because she was distracting you in the class; 180 days out of the school year. some adults fail to realize that the dress code not only condemns a sex or race but promotes…

Sexist School Dress Codes Changing clothes, embarrassed faces, and angry students have been a result of the dress code. All around the country, the school dress codes are getting harsher and harsher each year. Many of these rules have caused discomfort in many female students across the nation. The school dress code is unfairly directed towards females, it sexualizes the female body, and humiliates students whenever they get chastised for breaking the rules. As the school dress codes get more…

amongst schools is the school’s dress code. Depending on the type of school he or she goes to, the dress code with vary. Most public schools do not have a strict dress code. However, most private schools require uniforms, or the school will have a strict dress code.

Why Should Schools Not Have Dress Codes “I don’t care about that dress code. When you always look good, it’s not a problem.” -Peja Stajakovic Schools with dress codes are unfair to those who wish to fulfill themselves. Students have a right to dress how they want, they choose to be responsible or not. They should not have a dress code because it banishes creativity, can create violence, and some families cannot afford the cost. Students have a right to choose what they want to wear.…

One set of rules that is not being correctly followed is the dress code. Now I know that the dress code of this school is notorious in being strict, but is it really? The rulebook states that a student cannot wear “garments designed to be worn out-of doors.” If this is the case then all those students you see walking around with fleece jackets, coats, or gloves, are in violation of the dress code. In accordance with the procedure that is in the rulebook, all students that are wearing…

Throughout the years, dress codes have become standard practice in many high schools across the country. While there may be some variation among the rules, most dress codes have a similar foundation. Many include restrictions about the length of skirts, dresses, and shorts. It is also common for there to be regulations on shirt sleeves (spaghetti straps, sleeveless shirts, etc.) as well as garments that are transparent or expose the midriff area. Most schools do not allow clothing with…

Students would have to constantly be in a place where they feel that they have to try hard to fit in with their clothes. No one should feel like they always have to try to impress people, therefore all high schools should have dress codes. Some may argue having dress codes limits a student’s freedom of expression. The right to express oneself is important. We must respect the feelings of others, and learn how to successfully operate in the real world. Also, instead of expressing yourself…

Ban on Dress Code School dress code should not be enforced. Teens express themselves by the way they dress. Schools enforce what we can and cannot wear and it is unreasonable. This rule is also a big hassle. Teens own clothes that are honestly appropriate for school, but the districts disagree. Apparently showing too much skin is a distraction, which is not true. Dress code should not be enforced because it is sexist, too strict, and unfair. The reason dress code is sexist is because teachers…
