Maxi dress

and another one just beginning. The night before graduation I could hardly sleep as I knew that my high school career would soon be over. I got up that next morning, took a shower, put my makeup on, straightened my hair, and put my favorite black dress on, only this time I had my chords, cap, and gown to go with it. When I looked in the mirror, I began to feel flooded with emotions. There were several different thoughts running throughout my mind. For one, I felt thrilled to finally be able to…

Each day that I get older, the more I realize the sand in the glass slides by faster. Realizing that this time is not just going by quickly, it is spent worrying and waiting about things that I should not. From every age, I can remember something I waited to do or something for which I was excited about. When I was younger, I could not wait to grow up. I wanted to attend school, play sports, and graduate with all my friends, I looked forward to so many things in the future that I could not wait…

School Uniforms – Helpful or Hurtful? Requiring all students to wear school uniforms, including in public schools, became a significant topic of interest after President Bill Clinton gave his opinion on the subject during his 1996 State of the Union Address. Clinton stated, “if it means that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear school uniforms.” His judgement was strong and his words were effective…

Uniforms have their places where they should be worn; however school is not one of them. Uniforms should only have to be worn at your job and work site, school is an area where children should be allowed to express themselves. Requiring uniforms at school limits the creativity of the students. Due to the lack of allowance for students to wear what they want in private schools their ideals of the world get shaped to fit what the schools want them to believe not how they feel. This is unlike in…

fashion can end up putting a dent in a parent’s wallet.

In 1980, dress codes in the workplace were found to be sexist and lead to women’s objectification, due to the fact that dress codes taught women that their bodies were more dangerous than that of a man’s. In December of 1980 Mary M. Carroll brought the Carroll v. Talman Federal Savings & Loan Association to court to go fight sexist dress codes in places of work by claiming they were against Title VII (Disparate Dress Codes as Sex Discrimination in Violation of Title…

day of school due to the fact that they wear neon colored shoes (Takepart.com). Is that what the world has come to? Do you want to help give equality to both boy and girls? The school dress code not only sexulizes women it also hurts their self-esteem, which causes them problems later n in their life. Also the dress code can be considered very sexist due to the fact that it does not punish boys the same way it does to girls. The parents of the students believe that it is their job to tell their…

It’s a regular Wednesday at school where you’re striding through the hallway trying to get to class and along the way, you witness students having aggressive combative fight and you think, “Oh how typical!” To elaborate, if you read or catch sight of the news, you’ve probably viewed a multiple amount of school to the point where you notice gruesome and disturbing incidents of students stabbing, shooting which, leads to severe life threatening injuries and even, death. Momentarily, I strongly…

express themselves. If by taking away their right to dress one would be slowly starting to take away the pure joy to wake up in the morning and choose what one wishes to look like that day.

As one slowly starts to take away the children’s right to dress as they choose one is slowly diminishing their…
