Recommended: The effects of using school uniforms

Do you ever think that schools are too strict on what kids where to school? Some of your classmates might like to wear torn jeans or different type of clothing, but the can't express themselves if they aren't able to wear the clothes they want. Isn't it crazy how quickly you can get dress coded. Some schools require a specific color for 90% of all school uniforms tops and bottoms. A school uniform wardrobe consists of about 13 items: four tops,four bottoms, four pairs of socks, tights and other accessories. I think that schools should not have dress code, kids should be allowed to wear something that expresses them and not forced to wear uniforms
In addition,Some people might have a different style than others, like torn jeans. Students

    Dress codes have been an issue lately in some schools. Most kids are against it but I believe that there should be dress codes in all schools. This would be a good idea because it would reduce violence and bullying, eliminate the problem of wearing hats or jackets and they are less expensive.

  • School Uniform: Improving the Dress Code

    564 Words  | 2 Pages

    Every year parents, students and teachers argue about the issue of applying school uniform, and if it is going to be put into effect or not. Each year, school dress code is being pushed away. Year after year, to help stop violent behavior and encourage order in schools, dress codes are applied. Does the fact of students having to wear a certain dress code reduce the violent behavior and encourage order in schools? (“The Controversial School Uniforms and School Dress Code Debate”, 2008). Research shows, that dress code policies may increase the chance of a child safety in school by a very low percentage, but that still affects the child in a positive way (“Do uniforms make schools better?”, 2004).

    Bates, Laura. "How School Dress Codes Shame Girls and Perpetuate Rape Culture." Time. Time, 22 May 2015. Web. 18 Feb. 2016. In this article, Bates argues that today’s school dress codes are sexist and leave a lasting impression on young girls. Bates explains that there are several cases where girls are being punished for their adolescent bodies being distractions to boys. Also, it can teach a young girl that her body is dangerous and that a young boy automatically has the right to sexually diminish and harass adolescent girls in schools. This thought process is what causes a stigma later in college, declaring that when someone is sexually assaulted on campus, the person was asking for it. This can be detrimental to a young girl, and can even

    I disagree with the school dress code because it doesn't allow people to express themselves, people can't dress for the weather, and it doesn't let people choose how they want to look because it's supposedly a distraction. The dress code is "The bottom of your shirt must at least meet the top of your pants or shorts, and undergarments should not be exposed. There must be a substantial covering over both shoulders. See-through clothing or clothing that is so very tight that it draws attention to oneself are also unacceptable. Shorts/skirts must have at least a 4" inseam."

  • The Pros And Cons Of School Dress Code

    1278 Words  | 3 Pages

    We’ve all seen it, do not lie. Boys and girls alike, making sexist jokes in the hallway and laughing like it’s funny. Seeing boys objectifying girls, and vice versa, as if it is not an action that is humiliating and ridiculous. Young and impressionable, we have been taught from a young age to fight each other and bully each other with a simple saying: “Girls rule, boys drool! Boys rule, girls drool!” Regrettably, the idea is displayed on T-shirts at Target and Justice, and it’s tearing schools apart. This mindset of the superior sex is a horrible misconception of the world, implanted by ignorant adults to make ignorant children. And the most prominent ignorant rule in schools yet: dress code and uniforms. Innocently, people believe it’s a

    One school rule that I think should be changed is the dress code. Some things on our dress code should be changed. Such as fingertip length shorts, shoulders not being able to be shown (tank tops). Some schools are even beginning to banned leggings and yoga pants. Since I think these should be changed, I will be explaining all of my reasons for each dress code mistake.

  • Dress Codes

    2018 Words  | 5 Pages

    Every weekday morning during the school year, I wake up in order to get ready for school. I eat breakfast, board the bus, and hope my day will be a good one. Once I exit the bus and enter the school, I am unpleasantly greeted by girls hanging out of their shirts along with boys' behinds falling out of their pants. Immediately, my hopefulness evaporates and is replaced with disgust. As I get past those crude sights, I witness a fight due to one student bullying another based on the unfashionable and plain clothes he wears. My day that was supposed to be great has been disturbed again. I know that I am not the only person troubled by these almost daily sights. Therefore, in order to achieve a less distracting workplace and help eliminate violence, Perry Meridian High School (PMHS) needs to implement a stricter dress code.

    The first thing you do when you wake up is dread about how horrible your day will be, just like the school dress code. I remember a time when I was in middle school and I was dress coded for not following the "finger tip rule" for the running shorts I was wearing. I mean I get they were shorts but I have long arms and wasn’t feeling long pants on such a nice spring day. Have you ever wondered why dress code is a thing? What you wear to school definitely doesn’t define you or the type of person that you are in general. First I am going to talk about a girls perspective on school dress code, then a guys, and finally a teacher or principles perspective.

    The school dress code against girls has been unremarkably sexist. The basis of our dress code is on what keeps guys focused. If my thigh is showing the guy next to me won’t be able to concentrate. We have been taught from a young age that we have to morphe ourselves to be able to create a good learning environment for guys. This has given guys the right to think that when we wear shorts or tank-top we are allowing them to cat-call us and that we are putting ourselves out there for them.
