Persuasive Essay On School Dress Code

Every weekday when I enter my school, all I have to do is step into the hallway to see a body part that I do not want to see. Whether minor or major, it’s always there. It’s noticeable that these violations actually set a casual environment in our schools. All inappropriate clothing does is reflect laziness and sloppiness. I think that the school board needs to crack down on this, and enforce dress code more than it already is. School should be a serious affair, and to help that in a major way, all we have to do is dress with a little formality.

Some people find that certain clothing is extremely offensive. Parents, who are protective of what their child sees, might not want them to see revealing clothing. Many people judge inappropriate dressers as “lazy” or “sloppy.”

It is proven that dressing well actually increases academic level. If you can remember the last picture day you had in school, you dressed well, and you stood a little straighter. Did you not feel more responsible, and more mature? You probably had more drive for learning on that day as well. Because you looked presentable, you felt you should also act presentable. In doing that, you did well with your work on that day. If you did that every day, your entire academic level would come up. Now, many will argue that if they are told that they must look presentable, they cannot express themselves, or they look stupid because they are not following the newest trending type of clothing. I agree with these people, however, it is possible to look presentable, as well as expressing yourself, I don’t think that dress codes should be as strict as uniforms, but should be applied conservatively. For instance, if a boy or girl decides they want to dye their hair, that would be okay. It’s not offensive in any way shape or form, and it definitely does not distract people as much as revealing or provocative clothing
