My phone was abandoned with unanswered text messages and calls from my father. As I left my parents to spend time with friends, I didn’t expect the next time I would see them would be in a hospital bed connected to wires and tubes. That Friday was a holiday. A day off of school, a day off of work and most of all a day for enjoying family and friends. The sky was blue, the sun was high and bright, and the breeze was cool which made for perfect Texas weather. A group of us went out riding the…

Canton High School in Mississippi has suspended over 100 students on the first 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…

Today in society men and women are being degraded based on what they wear and what they look like. Whether it’s gender based clothes or gender swapped clothes, people feel the need to restrict others of what they prefer or feel comfortable in. An example of restrictive clothes would be school, public private, religious, most schools have dress codes that restrict all of the students to wear what they feel is “protective” or “non-distractive”. Students feel restricted on what they can express,…

Dress Code Does dressing the way you want in school really affect the way you think? Well it seems to be that way in this era. Dress Code policies date back as far as 1969, in the Tinker vs Des Moines Independent Community School district. A student who had worn an arm-band around his arm to show his objection to the hostilities in Vietnam. Any student who refused take it off, would be suspended until they did so. The students were taken to Supreme Court, in which the Court had ruled…

If there is one topic the students of Westminster Christian Academy can always find something to say about, it is dress code. From the infamous leggings rule to what appears as rapidly growing tolerance for everyday attire, there is always an air of buzz and even mystery surrounding WCA’s dress policies. This confusion leaves students unaware of what some rules are and tempts many to swap out polos for t-shirts. Upon further research of the popular subject, it becomes apparent that Westminster's…

There are many negative and positive effects a school dress code can have. Dress codes are in place for a reason. A few dress codes are a little too strict. Others may be a little too loose. A friend of mine when we were in high school decided to get a nose ring nothing like the bull nose ring that goes in a big loop just something small that went on the side of the nose that looked like a tiny blue dot. She was then later speaking with our school principal about how she can’t be wearing that.…

For my Argument Text Analysis, I choose the essay “Girls getting fed up with school dress codes that treat them as distractions” by Maureen Downey. This essay is about how girls are required to wear certain things to school for the reason that certain things are “distracting”. How girls are kept from their education since they are sent home for the things they wear. The writer is trying to persuade the reader that girls shouldn’t be required to wear certain things because the boys can’t control…

The biggest challenge is the dress code. It is challenging to identify clothing that is appropriate for school without one of the staff saying ¨Nope, you cannot wear that,¨ or “We have to cover the hole (or the holes) with duct tape.¨ The duct tape can ruin your clothes. The dress code is extremely complex. The school does not desire you to wear shirts that are too small, similar to crop tops, or shirts that are too revealing. They also do not want you to wear shirts with small straps, like…
