One of the most exhilarating, and…

Misogyny Starts with a Dress Code School dress codes started with a simple goal: to keep students safe and undistracted in a learning environment. However, many schools have taken this policy to the extreme. Hundreds of girls are sent home and humiliated each day at school for wearing shorts or a tank top in the summer season.

What bad or good can dress codes in schools really be? I’m sure most people agree that schools is one of the most important things in life.

proper attire for students.

School Uniforms To use school uniforms or to not use school uniforms, this matter has been debated over and over for a space of many years. While it has its advantages and disadvantages, people have their own opinions about them.
