Undie Cover Frog As an eight year old, I would have never thought that I needed to worry about finding my underwear anywhere other than on my body. Looking at the Gymnasium floor, seeing pink underwear with green frogs, I knew I had made a mistake by not listening to my Mom. I had disobeyed her by wearing my jeans that I took from the dirty-clothes basket that morning. I was mortified that my constant wardrobe battles with my parents culminated to that moment. After this infamous day, my mother took back control of clothing I was allowed to wear before left the house. I was not alone in this struggle because many children and teens have a constant struggle with their families when they leave the house. Teenagers fight with parents to wear provocative clothing, makeup and even shoes. Many feel choosing clothing is a type of expression that should not be …show more content…
When seeing a teenager in a crop top and booty shorts, my mind does not scream hardworking student. Dress can affect the way that people are treated. Therefore, parents need to start younger and teach children why it is important to receive guidance when picking out the most appropriate outfit. If parents do not take control of choosing wardrobe in young children, it can quickly get out of hand in teen years. Teenagers and children need to learn that dress code is something that they will deal with for the rest of their lives in many school and the work force. Once children grow up there will always be a dress code at their job whether it be a mandatory uniform, pantyhose, or no jeans. Learning the ropes as a child will not only set them ahead of the pact, but it will also show them to respect dress code rules and the authority that creates them. Learning to respect authority at a young age provides a background for the child when bosses tell them what to do and how to
Although dress codes promote safety there are some negative affects of it. Dress codes don’t prepare kids for the jobs in the future. “Some employers—some dotcom companies, for example—care less about how their employees dress and more about their work.” (Wilder 4) Even though a lot of jobs don’t require dress

Many think that a stronger dress code will help students focus in school, but the way a student dresses does not determine a student’s willingness to learn or the teacher’s ability to capture the student’s attention. Also, adults argue that high school is a teenager’s job; therefore, they should dress professionally. However, Elizabeth Forward does not have a policy against sweatpants, sweatshirts, or athletic attire, which are much more unprofessional than tank tops or destroyed denim. I think that the dress code policies should be relaxed to a more lenient state given the temperature of the building throughout the school year, the change in long-term trends among teenagers, and the level of hypocrisy illustrated between the relationship of school’s administration and the dress code policy.
The author continues to explain the two points he learned, and because of those points, he made his school a casual place. The dress code he established only proclaims to be “neat and clean.” The author saw no problem until the attire came so close as to be dressing at the beach, so he conducted a meeting with his staff and decided something should be said. When the author wrote the work dress guidelines, he got the input of the teachers and what should be expected by each guideline. However, the author only sent out the draft to people who had worked with him for fifteen or more years, so the question arose that the world is changing and he needed opinions from younger teachers.
By making children follow authority, they are taught maturity and how to cope with different angles of life in a mature fashion. Clothing restrictions will help kids become more successful and approachable adults in the future.
Image, sitting in the back of the class, silent as a rock, wearing yesterday 's clothes, greasy hair from not taking a shower in a few days, the smell lingering around the class. Sitting there, blocking out the sound, everyone laughing, still sitting there, then the student takes their eyes off the board as someone pokes them in the arm, the student looks over their shoulder, the student realizes everyone was looking and laughing at him. The teacher walks in, says good morning, and tells the class he has a special announcement, the school will now be required to wear school uniforms, the student looks up, sits up and smiles a little, he experiences this kind of happiness because, his parents do not have enough money to buy him actual new clothes,
Multiple reports are taken from females who experience the shorter end of the stick due to increased fashion interests and sexist mindsets of their school staff. An individual’s choice of dress is a reflection of themselves, a form of identity. Officials conclude that clothing choices increase the risk of bullying. Punishment for those who violate the strictly enforced rules consist of in-school suspension until someone from home can bring replacment clothes, humiliating “shame suits” , or any other creative punishment the school decides such as detention, etc. Shame suits are humiliating outfits that those who broke the rules must wear as a form of punishment, most of the time these consist of extremely unflattering clothes that have written phrases on them indicating that their appearance is due to their violation of the school rules. Punishments indicated place risk on the violators education caused by missed classes. Few in society do approve of the dress code as it controls female students’ modesty, banishes a distraction, and preserves the professional atmosphere inside a school. Issues involving the apparel enforcements include sexism, repressed self- identity, and punishment issues will be discussed within this
High school is typically a time when kids begin to distinguish themselves from one another. Students begin to develop their own sense of personal style, desperately trying to both fit in and stand out simultaneously. Being self-conscious and often lacking the confidence needed to assert themselves, teens are forced to use clothing and outward appearance as the means to manifest this individuality. Thus, students should not be forced to wear uniforms to school. Standard uniforms are unproven deterrents to student violence; are a "Band-Aid" to cover up the real problems faced by children and teens; and they violate students' right of self-expression, depriving them of their search for identity.
Dress code, probably one of the most talked about topics by teenagers. Most teenagers believe that dress code is “witless” or “incompetent”. Why do we think this? Well, most adults believe that keeping a strict dress code keeps us educated because apparently our clothes are “distracting”. Now I can see how wearing booty shorts and a tank top would be distracting, but how is wearing sweatpants distracting? If anything wearing sweatpants keeps us comfortable, because I know that being uncomfortable is way more distracting than wearing sweatpants. When I wear sweatpants I can lay back and relax while the teacher talks, but if I am uncomfortable I am more likely to move around and fidget with my clothes rather than listen to the lesson.
We see stories Social media has more stories of girls being sent home because of dress code violations. Maybe the problem isn’t the students, but dress codes in general. Dress codes ultimately disrupt the pursuit of knowledge for the students, encourage gender bias, and can be dangerous. If we want the younger generations to succeed in the education system, we should utilize school uniforms. Uniforms in schools from elementary to high schools, will promote gender equality and facilitate student safety.
Choosing what to wear for the day. This is what most students are thinking about when they wake up. Students need the latest fashion in order to fit in, but some clothing may not be acceptable to wear in school. School dress codes are denying students their right to dress how they want, but the dress code is important for the students and their learning. Students are beginning to stand up and want to be heard. Some students are taking action and want the dress code to become less strict but some schools are doing the opposite for safety issues and for the students healthy learning environment. Dress codes are important for a strong and healthy learning environment and is also reducing violence in many schools around the country.
A student’s high school career should be about discovering new knowledge and discovering who you are, not about what you wore. One rule that I would change at Ralston is the dress code policy. The dress code policy limits a student's right to express themselves, be comfortable in what they wear and ultimately put a higher value some students over others.
Should school uniforms be required? Some say that uniforms help students focus on academics instead of fashion. Others believe that students should have the freedom to choose what they wear to school in order to express their differences and their uniqueness. After considering both sides of the issue, I strongly believe that uniforms should be introduced in primary public and private schools. Wearing school uniforms does not promote unfair comparisons between student’s incomes in terms of clothing; they aid students in developing their inner qualities instead of focusing on the outer aspects of themselves in the crucial earlier years of their lives, and provides a platform for practicing discipline.
More and more, young women are being targeted and punished for dress code violations. While this may be due to the fact that fashion in today’s society is all about tight clothes, it could also lead to more
Have you ever considered why students should wear a school uniform? For a long time, scholars have debated worldwide, whether students should wear a school uniform or not. After a lot of research, I can evidently see that people still have diverse opinions about this subject as some people think school uniform is essential, some are just fine with its existence, and some think it is useless.
