Nurse uniform

You wake up one morning to a sunny and dazzling day. You know that the weather is beautiful, probably ninety degrees. You then are put in a brilliant mood. You get up happily and go to your closet to pick out something to wear. Your good mood modifies itself to a sour one in an instant, when you realize you can’t wear shorts, or the new muscle tee that you wanted to wear. Why should we have a dress code when all its does is inconvenience, ostracize and make people feel uncomfortable throughout…

Lately, I have been pondering on the harsh dress code rules. When did my shoulders become something I should be ashamed of showing? When did it become a secret that girls wear undergarments? Admonishing girls for letting their shoulders or bra straps show is the most ridiculous form of dress code. Dress coding this harshly can promote negative feelings about their bodies, when they already feel bad enough. Making “thumb width” tank-tops mandatory in order to maintain the focus of the male…

“Dress codes given the power they entrust school authorities to regulate student identity-can, according to students,ultimately establish discriminatory standards as the norm”. (Gordon)People have started sexualising and discriminating a woman's attire, and having to cover up just so male students can go to school free of distractions. There have been several arguments against school dress codes, such as dress codes being mainly sexist against young women in schools. This does not mean there has…

School uniform policies have increased dramatically across the United States in the last forty years. In that time, the popular idea that school uniforms help improve studies among students, reduce gang affiliated activity, and promote conformity amongst the student body has wormed its way into the minds of school board members and parents across the country. It is much more likely that adults support the idea of school uniforms, not only at a high school or middle school level, but also at an…

School Uniforms Should Not Be Mandatory Many private schools have made school uniforms mandatory for the students that attend these schools. The school uniform serves as a sense of pride for the students who attend these schools as well as from staff. School is a social environment where children can express themselves as they form relationships with their peers. There is a constant debate on if school uniforms should be mandated in public schools. Research has suggested that school uniforms…

“You’re asking for it” Junior year picture day was coming up, and of course I wanted to get a great picture. I picked out my favorite plain, black strapless shirt. As soon as I get to school, I am called into the principal 's office. I had been dresscoded. The middle-aged man told me that I “was distracting to my fellow male classmates.” Despite the fact that my hair falls and covers way lower than my shoulders, my body was still too inappropriate, even though every human has shoulders of their…

Have you ever felt violated by school dress codes or seen others get discriminated by them? Being a girl myself, I’ve come to the realization that the dress code is specifically made to restrict females. They discriminate against girls and make them feel like it’s their fault, when boys see them as just an object when we chose to dress how we see fit. Dress codes that school boards across the country have, impose on teen girls by diminishing self perception of inadequacy, lowering self worth…

Uniforms Keeping It Classy Many controversial issues about the educational system have been brought up over the years, school uniforms being one of them. Uniforms provide equality in the classroom which lower the chances of bullying, saves money on clothing, and helps reinforce dress code in a more mannerly way. Bullying has been around since the dawn of ages. As society has grown, whether it be technologically or just as whole, so has bullying. According to an anti-bullying survey, “About…

The debate over school uniforms are heard from students and parents alike, and reasons for why uniforms should not be required in schools are shared by many. Every day, millions of students spend around eight hours attending America’s schools. Imagine having to wake up every morning, roll out of bed, put on the same thing you wore the day before, and head off to school. Many students are forced to wear uniforms whether they like it or not. School uniforms are a restriction that is too much!…

“Telling girls to ‘cover up’ just as puberty hits teaches them that their bodies are inappropriate, dangerous, violable, subject to constant scrutiny and judgement, including by adults they trust. Nor does it help them understand the culture’s role in wardrobe choices” - Peggy Orenstein. This is relevant because most females in schools are subjected to unfair dress codes, making them more self conscience about their appearance and not allowing them to freely express themselves. In schools dress…
