There are much bigger issues to worry about other than if a student is wearing a hat in the hallway, lunch room or gym. Other problems are bullying, drug use and cheating. Teachers go out of their way to take hats like it’s all they care about is having authority over us and controlling us. The Northeast Student Handbook states, “While the primary responsibility for appearance lies with the students and their parents, appearance disruptive to the education program will not be tolerated. When, in the judgment of the principal, a student’s appearance or mode of dress unduly disrupts the education process or constitutes a threat to health or safety, the administration may take appropriate disciplinary action and/or require modifications in the …show more content…
Prnewswire.com states, “A person with positive performance self-esteem is an individual who is confident and optimistic that he or she is on top of things, understands what needs to be done and feels capable about being able to pull it off. According to the study, the perception of bad hair leads to a reduced sense of performance self-esteem, such that men and women doubt their capabilities and may ultimately perform below their level of competence when experiencing a bad hair day. Most notably, just the thought of a bad hair day caused both men and women to feel they are not as smart as others. Surprisingly, the impact on performance self-esteem was more pronounced among men.” If a student has low self-esteem they are not going to do as well in school and won’t pay attention as well as they could because of the distraction of the thought that their hair looks bad or thinking that people are looking at them and making fun of them. Many students already have low self-esteem let alone having a bad hair. Most students are in a hurry for school every morning and don’t have time to fix their hair so throwing a hat on and going to school would be a much better alternative and also maybe help a few students from just skipping their first class all together. Also having a low self-esteem will restrain the student from asking questions that they
It is human nature to place blame and point fingers at someone, but it is a lot less common to take responsibility for your own actions. Sometimes, we put ourselves in positions that are detrimental to our lives or well-being. Even though we are responsible, it is likely that we will place the blame elsewhere. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio found himself with a similar conflict. Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, killed Mercutio during a fight in the town square. It would be easy to say that Tybalt caused Mercutio’s death since it was his sword that killed him, but that is simply false. Mercutio ignored many warnings and continued to antagonize the fight that lead to his death. The character ultimately responsible for Mercutio’s death is
I really do not understand why any school would ban hoodies, or even jackets because it is apparently the best for the school. I believe that the school did this because they wanted to be like every other
In order to comprehend this article, one must have a concept of self-esteem. Self- esteem is the personal evaluation of one’s worth as a person. Most individuals subject self-esteem as the “feeling that one is ‘good enough.” Also, individuals believe those with high self- esteem tend to believe they are superior to others, which is not necessarily true. Another inaccurate assumption on self- esteem interprets that talents and abilities are influential on self-esteem. Also, self- esteem is not
Self-esteem includes confidence, achievement, respect of others, and a need to be a unique individual. Being confident looks good on everyone, though some are more confident than others it still is needed to better yourself. Someone that gives there all nonstop and always does there best and never tries to take short cuts are the ones that everyone envies in school. They are the ones that get praised by all the teachers and they get awarded for doing their best. This can be both good and bad, good because then it shows the student that they are doing good and it makes themselves feel a lot better and it gives them confidence. Bad though because then it makes the other students feel bad about them and that causes their self-esteem to drop. Getting respect by a teacher and giving it is important to maintain a great classroom environment. If both parties are getting the respect needed, then everything works out in perfect harmony and the student can continue to work hard and the teacher can continue to help the student work
Of course, students and school officials can often disagree about what may or may not be disruptive. For example, in 1998, the Rhode Island ACLU successfully challenged the suspension of a student for wearing a rock band t-shirt with the numerals “666” on it. On the other hand, although the ruling might come out differently today, a Virginia court ruled two decades ago that a school could decide to ban as “vulgar” a t-shirt with the phrase “Drugs Suck.” If you think you were unfairly disciplined for something you wore to school, you should contact the ACLU. Administrators have the responsibility to protect the health, welfare, and safety of students. And can stop conduct that interferes with the operation of schools or impinges on the rights of other students. Also, administrators can stop conduct that interferes with schoolwork during school
Students should be allowed to wear what they want to school and if bullying occurs then the bully should be punished. Bullying is something that is not going to stop no matter what schools do to try and prevent it. The only way to lower the amount of bullying in schools is to teach children about the consequences of their actions at an early
All children express themselves differently. Clothing choice is a major part of their expression. Whether the child is wearing colorful shoes, an all black tuxedo, or religious T-shirt, he/she is sending a direct message. This form of expression can help teachers get to know the student individually. This is beneficial when engaging in conversation with the student. The student will in turn find the classroom setting more enjoyable. When children are required to wear uniforms, their freedom of expression is limited. There is no variation between what the students are wearing each day, and there are no clues to what the students’ personalities are. All of the children are seen as the same and having the same personality. Without the ability to express themselves through clothing, children may choose a more disruptive way in doing so such as verbally and/or physically. As long as the clothing children decide to wear is not disrupting others, it is better for students to express themselves that way. Ultimately, uniforms prohibit students from expressing themselves in a non-disruptive
Heavy self-criticism, envy and a pessimistic attitude follow (Kirsh, 2005). Three states of self-esteem are identified: Strong self-esteem is when they have a positive self-image and are secure enough to make decisions and remain unaffected by any adverse scenario that would cause detrimental effects. Vulnerable self-esteem is when there is a positive self-image yet their ability to maintain it is not reliable. People with a vulnerable self-esteem avoid making decisions, blame others when situations were to turn sour to protect their own reputation. People who do not regard themselves as admirable or valuable, defeated and immerse in self-pity, define shattered self-esteem. Shattered self-esteem is undoubtedly related to low self-esteem
... Bare midriffs, or bare backs Tights, leggings, bike shorts, swim suits or pajamas as outerwear Visible piercings, Dog collars, tongue rings studs, wallet chains, large hair clips, or chains that connect from one part of the body to another. So to avoid this in my opinion I think all students should wear the uniform because it help prevent gangs from forming on campus , Encourage discipline , help students resist peer pressure to buy trendy clothes , help identify intruders in the school , diminish economic and social barriers between students and increase a sense of belonging and school pride and Improve attendance. So people should come together to make school a more focused on school and work place and not letting students get distracted by other things such as what they’ll wear that day or what will they say if I wear this by making school uniforms mandatory.
A person with low self esteem feels he is not confident enough, incapable of doing the tasks, and incompetent (don`t have proper understanding of who he is). If the person is less confident he is going to feel poor and lonely every time. These feelings may actually lead that person into break down.
Gentlemen have to deal with their hats, their cloaks, their swords and their hands. They might kiss their own hand, and bow. Typically, a gentleman removes his hat from his head with his right hand and kisses his left hand. If he needs to use his right hand for something like, to take a ladies hand for a dance or to offer a gift, he may change his hat to his left hand and kiss his right hand or the gift in his right hand. A man usually goes through these operations as it is a polite thing to do and it shows that you are a wealthy and respectful gentlemen. The hat doffing is more meaningful and the bow is deeper, the higher up the social scale the other person is. Between equals, the shorter version might be more of a gesture to touch the hat
will act to maintain his or her self-image regardless of whether it is high or low.” (Greene & Frandsen, 1979, p. 124) Self-esteem is important in social situations; it can help a person have
Worrying more about others, rather than themselves, students pay more attention to the appearance of their peers instead of their academics. To begin, if school uniforms became apart of the school policy, students’ academics would improve phenomenally. Hanley noted that “The reason for the policy [was] to further improve ascending test scores and provide a safe, comfortable learning environment” (A1+). Clearly, school administrators wanted to improve test scores, and they figured if students dressed the same, then they would have no other choice but to focus on their school work. If the students can concentrate on their school work, then they will have high self- esteem. Furthermore, Valdez believes that school uniforms, positively, will change student academics: “… [they] decrease self consciousness and increase self esteem...” (14). Reasonable and realistic, students who feel better about themselves will succeed in school rather than those who have poor self-esteem. Not only do school uniforms encourage students to have a better attitude about themselves, but they also change the environment in which students learn....
Firstly, I believe that wearing a school uniform does not give children a sense of individuality and suppresses their own true identity. The way they dress and present themselves is essential to their upbringing as it helps them to learn about themselves and is a way in which one can express themselves. Plus, our teachers are always saying how important it is to just be ourselves and not to worry about what others might think. Having a uniform takes that away from us, and this may lead students to try to find other ways
Anyone can sneak into YOUR school wearing a uniform pretending they are a student, and possibly be selling illegal items. Say two people look alike, wearing the same uniform. One of them has committed a serious crime. They both walk by the camera at the same time. You can’t tell them apart. So safety? Same thing as theft. They say this is a free country, when they do this and make students wear uniforms, this curtails their freedoms. The school board is giving off one simple message by doing this...
