Dress Codes In Schools

These days, many students are opposed to having a dress code. Whether you can dress however you want with few restrictions, or a highly strict dress code with required suit. Dress codes in schools are unnecessary for many reasons. One, It limits the students freedom of expression. Two, It makes the students uncomfortable so that its harder to learn.
