"I just feel like [the dress code] needs to be explained better, like they need to do a better job of presenting it to us, instead of just saying we can wear crew necks and then taking us out of class if we wear our crew necks," (Tori Taylor). This quote is a perfect example of how dress codes are not properly executed in schools all across America. Varying depending on school, dress codes can be confusing and extremely hard to navigate. Girls all over the country have been forced to take time out of their day to change or even leave the school, because of shirts they’ve worn a thousand times before. If there is a shirt that supposedly breaks dress code, a girl should be reprimanded every single time she wears it, right? Wrong. This is because

As I am reading the Countryside “Modified” Dress Code many things are crossing my mind. One of the many is the slow deterioration of youth expression. We go to school to learn, not to worry about what we can and can't wear. Little things like this take away from the minimal sleep many high schooler’s receive. Instead of using time and money towards the appearances, the school could give this attention to the other needs of the school such as the shortage of books in many classrooms. The school board is making irrational, and impulsive decisions while effecting the budget of parents.

The morning bell rings. One student comes into school in their new shorts, and then one of the teacher’s pull her aside and tell her to go to the principal's office. As-Is she walks into the office and the principle tells her to go home and change. Wait! Should this student go home just to change her shorts or stay at school and face the fact she may get in trouble? Well schools actually tend to just have a dress code for girls and not boys which is not fair.

And even though it sounds not very convincing there's actually a complicated issue with dress codes. Many

While I was being written up by a teacher for showing a portion of my shoulder and bra strap, the teacher greeted a male student whose pants were close to his knees, his bright green boxers showing.

Its 2017 and dress codes are outrageous and they make it hard on parents to shop for their daughters when school comes around. As parents try to make it okay and meet the requirement for the school's dress code, the school still finds ways to punish and embarrass girls for their clothing. Not only is it making them miss educational and instructional time but it hurts their ultimate performance. (Sorto) School dress codes have a big impact on what girls wear and buy. They also prevent freedom of expression and can affect them in bad ways. Schools should change their dress code because dress codes body shame girls, sexualize girls, and projects a contradictory standard.

School dress code is possibly one of the most enforced rules in today's school system. Despite the issues of drugs, alcohol, or dangerous weapons on campus, the dress code system is clearly the most important issue in schools today. Who cares about the fighting, the bullying, or the education of students? A teenage girl's shoulder being shown is obviously much more distracting and dangerous to the school environment than kids throwing punches left and right.

Scientists say that having some form of a dress code in schools decreases violence and improves the achievements of students (Steffen). Dress codes are established because they help keep students safe (Steffen). Dress codes in schools affect the student’s learning ability. Dress codes affect the student's ability to learn in many ways; it often gives them a safer environment to learn in because of the decrease in fights and violence, it allows students to concentrate on academics, and it decreases the amount of peer pressure that relates to clothing.

Let’s get to the point. The school dress code is unfair and restrictive. And although it’s a good way to keep students from wearing anything violent or offensive, I find it to be rather… foolish. The administration puts up boundaries, restricting our self-expression through clothing.
