The Dress Code; Helpful or Hurtful
What you wear affects how people think of you. This is comparable to an advertisement for the lunch special. If what’s uncovered is not on the menu, then keep it covered. The student dress code is an issue with much controversy. Some may say that it is all preposterous but in actuality the dress code is for the students benefit. Let’s take a look into the current North Middle School standards. Students at NMS Must have clothes that cover undergarments, have a modest inseam, and pajamas and slippers are not allowed. They must also cover their back, cleavage, midriff, and bottom. Shoulder straps must be 1 inch thick, and no clothing referencing drugs, alcohol, weapons, tobacco, or any obscenity are allowed. As you will see, there many reason why the school dress code is correct. It helps kids focus, build good standards, and be ready for their future occupations.
First off, immodest clothing is a big distraction in the learning environment. You can’t expect someone half naked to not be looked at.

Not only is pronography, prophanity, drugs, alcohol, weapons, and tobacco bad enough already but they have found a way to keep it with them constantly. Just because you wear it on your shirts does not make anything less appalling. Other people may speak as boldly as to say that it is a violation of the first amendment, but obviously the first amendment only grants the freedom of speech if it is not harmful to anyone. Swear words are the most vulgar offensive words out there. As for the pronography, it is an complete disgrace and disgust. Wearing unclothed men and women on one’s bodily attire is utterly repulsive. As for everything else, the more and more you “joke” about those things the more comfortable you become with it. Before you know it, “(giggle giggle) Wanna try some weed? (hehehe)” will become “Hey, why don’t ya smoke a little pot with us,
Ever thought that not having a school dress code could lead to violence over something so simple as to what a person might own or wear? To many people 's surprise, school dress codes can be a very important topic to discuss at any and every public school. This essay will summarize, critique, and evaluate the article "School Dress Codes" by Krystal Miller.
My community service experience at All Souls Friday Soup Kitchen taught me the impoverished population of New York City and myself. The volunteer work pushed me to better myself in several areas. Serving the diners helped me expand my social skills with fellow workers and customers by forcing me to communicate with others. Also, setting up and deconstructing the dining room helped grow my management skills by having me order where the plates, mugs, etc. should be placed. Most importantly, working at the kitchen helped humanize the poor population of New York City for me. Often on the subway and on the sidewalk, I try my hardest to avoid the homeless man or woman begging for money, acting like they didn’t exist. Gratefully, my experience at
The mystique and murk that shroud the legend and disparate accounts of the mysterious Little Egypt – who stirred up much controversy in the United States in the time after the Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893 – only highlights the significance of the character in the evolution of belly dance and America’s perception of it. Most historical memoirs of danse du ventre, known as belly dancing, mention that it entered America through the 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition. Concessions such as the Algerian, the Ottoman, the Persian as well as the Egyptian incorporated belly dance to draw crowds’ attention, profiting more in the process. Because of the nature of this exotic dance and its fluid arm and hand movements as well as isolations and shimmies of the shoulder, pelvis, abdominal muscles and head, its exposition spread rumors all over the country. Many flocked to see it. Nevertheless, the notorious name of Little Egypt came to be known from the Street in Cairo, owing to the several exotic shows that attracted many Americans. Even in the twenty-first century, Little Egypt’s name is still a mystery, having become a legend that has lured many dancers.
School dress codes are unnecessary and detrimental to students because they waste student's time, damage their self-image, and have no discernable benefit. Wasting time is not conductive with learning and is a reason why dress codes are negative to students. School dress codes usually involve the
Implementing a dress code can have both a positive and negative effect on the school and its students. Some of the pros of having a dress code is that it can promote a sense of security. It puts less pressure on people to stay up-to-date with the most expensive and latest fashion trends. Another positive effect is that it does not distract students’ as much so they are able to focus on their studies. I can understand why some schools may feel this way. When you look at some of the clothing styles nowadays, you see a lot of sagging pants and really short shorts and skirts. This can be distracting, but not in a way that it would turn someone away from his or her studies. Establishing a dress code also promotes discipline in students. It creates
Many students think they should be able to wear the clothes they want to as long as they are not inappropriate.
Any other clothing that doesn’t break any of the rules listed is okay to wear in school. Consequences for breaking this code are… First Offense is a warning and a call home, so that the child's parents are aware of the situation. Second Offense will be a minimum of 1 hour of detention. Third Offense
The controversy about dress codes asks an important question: are dress codes targeting girls and transgender students? Several sites including:https://www.adl.org/education/resources/tools-and-strategies/table-talk/what's-fair-and-unfair-about-student-dress-codes, stated that when they spoke to girls they said they feel shamed and judged by dress codes. Are dress codes limiting students creativity. Should these girls really feel harassed men and boys at their school?
Students all over the United States are believe that school dress codes are are biased and sexist. Many people are finding ways to protest against the dress codes, for example The Atlantic says, "'I’ve never seen a boy called out for his attire even though they also break the rules,' says Sunseri, who last summer produced Shame: A Documentary on School Dress Code, a film featuring interviews with dozens of her classmates and her school principal, that explores the negative impact biased rules can have on girls’ confidence and sense of self." This shows that the dress codes are destroying girls, confidence causing them to have low self-esteem. This is also just one way that people are protesting against dress codes. Even adults do not agree with the dress codes in schools. Choices
During the last few years, dress codes have been implemented and accepted more and more. Dress codes are commonplace and most schools consider them a necessity. Dress codes, however, need to be revised. Dress codes objectify students’ bodies and often interrupt the students’ learning environment more than the student violating the dress code. For example, if a student has dyed hair, then there is still focus inside the classroom, but if the teacher dress codes them, all the class attention is lost. Dress codes should be revised to not interrupt the learning environment and be less objective and shameful to students’ bodies.
Educators suggest that dress codes teach students what is acceptable in the workforce. However, some employees care less about how their employees dress and more about their work ethic. Students should learn to dress appropriately based on context, dress codes do not express that. Instead, dress codes teach students that “conformity and obedience to authority is more important.”
We form first impressions and overall judgments about people by the way one dresses. In the workplace, depending on what industry or company it is, employee dress code can differ based on the situation. Those who work at a banking institution are generally required to dress in “suit and tie” or at least business casual. In such workplaces, it is often required to abide by strict policies such as having to cover up tattoos and piercings whilst at the workplace. The dress code is set because the appearance of an employee reflects the company and its values. Thus when dealing with the public, other employees and in all other business relationships, it is important to conduct oneself in a courteous and respectful manner, which also entails dressing appropriately.
Have you ever been excluded from learning because of what you wore to school? In most schools, dress codes are set in place to provide a better learning space for all students. Having a dress code can oppress students because students are given the impression that they should not express themselves. Not all families can afford the clothes that abide by the rules. For example, some students don 't have the means to pay for new clothes, so they have to use hand-me-down clothing. Enforcing a dress code can lead to more problems in the long run because of the exceptions made for students who are athletes and cheerleaders. Many school faculty members including teachers and administrators think that keeping a dress code will keep students looking appropriate while learning, but this idea is wrong because it keeps students from expressing themselves and, the dress code singles out women.
Is there anything more embarrassing than being dress coded at school? Enforcing a dress code among children is unfair because it not only discriminates against people but it destroys someone’s whole day. Dress codes and school uniforms are meant to increase student achievement and make everyone equal but instead it only hurts people. Most school dress codes are unnecessary and are sexist. Enforcing dress codes is suppose to boost student achievement but instead is racist, sexist and unnecessary. Schools should take into consideration their student 's feelings before they establish rules for dressing.
Doing anything to survive is a natural animal instinct. Some of the greatest novels and award winning films such as Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Revenant directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu depict the struggle of survival. As beings, we will do absolutely anything to stay alive even if it’s in sake of others lives.
