It takes us 20 minutes to drive from Cambridge to Boston. As I'm in the car, I stare out at the scenery of the cityscape. The tall buildings of downtown overshadows the sun, they consist of expensive shops and office buildings. The streets are filled with people rushing to get to stores for their over-the-top sales. Women are strolling along the streets with a child or two with them, while holding shopping bags, from the finest stores in the city. Elegant Silks is one of the top stores in the…

Effects of Uniforms and Strict Dress Codes on Schools Throughout the last half-century, dress codes and uniforms in schools have been a big topic of debate. They were introduced in many urban schools to help stop the rise of gang affiliation and in private schools to help create an inclusive environment for students. Implementing dress codes and uniforms were not always welcomed, as some students and parents feel that dress codes force every child to fit into a mold and take away the right of a…

I have decided to write this journal article on an article that I found online that speaks directly to experiences that I had throughout middle school and high school. The article is titled, “The Sexism of School Dress Codes”. A young girl named Maggie Sunseri noticed that the dress codes in her school were geared more directly to girls than it was to boys. At first, Maggie rightfully saw this concept to be unfair. The rationale that the administrators gave behind this idea, however, was even…

Dress code is dumb. Dress code is a policy that is held in every school that everyone has to follow or there will be consequence .In my opinion to the dress code policy ,i think it should be removed from our particular school ,IECHS.

It is odd how the dress code becomes strict in sixth grade. When asked if something changed from elementary to high school sixty-one percent of the students and teachers who took the survey said no. The only comments of the students and teachers who answered why said puberty and sexuality are what change. It is still easy for students to try to wear inappropriate outfits that are otherwise within the dress code. There should be a new less strict dress code that just makes sure students are in…

In the current day and age, when people wake up in the morning, dressing casually, they do not expect to wear a suit and tie or a royal dress. That would be considered formal. However, it was not always like that. Not too long ago, the stlyes and clothing choices were very different. Not only were the fashions different, the materials and how the materials were put together was nothing like it is today. Depending on the era the fashion was coming from, depended on how everything came into play.…

“Why are you wearing that” “Isn’t that a little too short” these statements and many more are phrases students hear everyday from their school administrators and teachers because of these horrible, out of date, dress codes. Dress codes are becoming more and more of a problem with the uprising society. While there should be a dress code so students look more professional and looking like they are going to work and not to bed, school dress codes are being sexist against females and discriminating…

Dress codes, everything a student hates. Dress codes are made by schools so students are not “distracted” by what other students wear. Although kids are dressing the way they want to as a form of self-expression, some people feel that codes are needed. For example, it can be offensive to some people. ”Consider the case of Elliot Chambers, the Minnesota student who was told that he couldn't wear a shirt with the message "Straight Pride." The school claimed that the shirt offended some students…

No Dress Code Needed Children and teens all around the U.S. get dress coded. A dress code is something they use to make the kids look “better”. If someone doesn't like how someone else looks they are a very judgemental and rude person. Teens are going through puberty and that can be a rough time in their life and clothing is one way to express yourself. In the summer like weather when people are wearing short sleeves and tanks tops, parents and students are getting reminded about dress…

Is Dress Code Taking Away Children’s Education? Imagine being 13 years old and your school is restricting you from wearing the clothes you want. If you wear a little bit of too short or shorts or a graphic t-shirt, the school will dress code you and you would have to change into some old P.E. shorts or call home to have new clothes brought to you. When schools have a strict dress code, children are not allowed to express themselves and show who they are at school. Schools should not have a…
