At least 58% of schools in the United States enforce a strict dress code. School dress codes and uniforms in private and public schools can be both helpful and harmful to students in relation to their learning and social skills. Implementing school dress codes has shown to increase concentration in the classroom due to the lack of extreme clothing or hair styles, less peer pressure since everyone has to wear the same clothes, and an increase in school safety. According to Don Woodard, a high…

School dress codes are usually blamed for being sexist towards girls. There are many reasons for why this may seem true such as how the dress codes usually revolve around girls. This is also true because girls have a lot more clothing choices, then boys so there is more rules towards them. Many people also claim that dress codes are here only to keep the older generation happy. An argument for why dress codes are there is to help prepare teenagers for jobs, and the rules also apply to boys there…

"A school in which students are expected to wear standardized dress or a school uniform is an environment where administrators and teachers are sending a clear message that students need to put academics before fashion." Using school uniforms would help students focus on their grades more than their clothes. Without…

all students displayed good common sense or good taste when it came to clothing," said Bill Brousse, assistant principal Carlisle high school in Pennsylvania. In his further talk, he stated that because many students were violating the non-uniform dress code he found no other choice but to set a mandatory uniform policy for the next year. He then listed some prime examples of why measures were taken to enforce the uniform policy. "Some of it was totally inappropriate for school settings. The…

School Uniforms Have you ever heard the phrase “I would kill for those shoes”? In the mid 90s’ down in Long Beach, California students were actually taking that phrase a little too literally, they were actually killing one another for their high end clothes. The growing issue caught attention of the current U.S. President at the time Bill Clinton stated, "It's tragic when young people without a balanced upbringing, without grounded values, without a secure education, wind up believing that it's…

Today many public school systems across America have eliminated a dress code and are implementing uniform policies. One in five elementary schools in the United States now requires uniforms, according to The National Center for Education Statistics (“Should Schools Require Uniforms?” 7). On the contrary there has been numerous debates over whether…

In “White Tops, Grey Bottoms”, Akerman described why schools have a strict dress code which students must follow and cannot break. The writer mentioned the dress code should be accepted with not only white and grey for tops and bottoms but also a variety of colors and design (330-332). This reading reminded me of my own experience with a strict dress code. When I was a high school student, my school also had a strict dress code. For example, all students must have measured the size of their…

I think it would be the best choice for eye scanners at airports. That way people would not try to take over an airport. I would pay $79.95 dollars to go through this scanner just to be on the safe side of things. I think if they hired me to be a security guard I could take out the bad people. I would take the job. It would be a good ideal to have an eye scanner at schools so kids not get kidnapped by some freak. They should put DNA test in schools and airports also because that would keep…

Uniforms are used as a way to cover up real…
