Dress Code

"If it means that the schoolrooms will be more orderly and more disciplined, and that our young people will learn to evaluate themselves by what they are on the inside instead of what they're wearing on the outside, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear uniforms." Former President Clinton said this in a speech in in March of 1996. There is an immense controversy about whether a school uniform will help or hinder a student. After much deliberation and inquiry, public schools should be allowed to enforce their students to wear uniforms. The largest part of the debate is whether or not the uniform hinders a student's personal expression.. Along with giving kids the chance to learn different ways to express

Between 2009 and 2010 19% of schools required uniforms and 57% of schools enforce a strict dress code. Kids who follow a strict dress-code policy at school are limited in expression. Many schools think by having strict dress-codes are safer and keep the focus on education, but enforcing a strict dress-code many times place the focus of school on clothing and rules, rather than education. Schools should not have dress codes because they become gender bias, they stunt the growth of individuality, and generally cost more.

I agree that all schools should have dress codes because of the fact that with strict dress codes can deter school shootings or bring the % down, take the columbine shooting for example, the kids that were responsible for the shooting were wearing long jackets with deep enough pockets to hide weapons.

In addition to the apparent bullying over style trends and choices, another issue that could be eliminated through the incorporation of uniforms is the lessening of disciplinary action directed towards students for dress code violations. Almost daily, students are sent to the office for dress code checks which are most often handled by the Vice Principal. Students are commonly sent for checks based on the following items that are considered questionable: midriff revealing tops, ripped and low-rise jeans, short skirts and shorts, exposed shoulders and necklines and spandex for the girls. Then there are ill-fitting jeans and inappropriate slogans on t-shirts and sweatshirts for the boys. A uniform policy would eliminate the need for dress code checks, which would enable the vice principal to concentrate on more important issues within the high school. Not only would uniforms eliminate this disciplinary issue of student dress, but the incorporation of a uniform policy would better prepare students

When it comes to dress code, every individual has a different viewpoint for its implementation. There are clothes that could be fashionable to one person but seen as offensive to another. A dress code can be justifiable when put into a situation that really does require certain attire to be worn. It gives a sense of formality and distinguishes an individual apart from a group. This report seeks to compare and contrast the characteristics of school dress codes with that of dress codes in the workplace.

School's rule some clothes as too distracting or inappropriate because they believe some clothing items are too short or goes too low for example. There are only dress codes because they want to "promote a safe, disciplined school environment, prevent interference with schoolwork and discipline, and to encourage uniformity of student dress "according to https:education.findlaw.com. What they don't realize is we don't need rules for that. Dress code at school is a violation of not only American rights but human rights. I believe that everyone has a right to dress how they wish unless if they are in a serious or business matter. There should not be dress codes at school because it violates rights. Dress codes are mainly sexist, and it put stress on teachers. "A dress code is a set of rules, usually written and posted, specifying the required manner of dress at a school, office, club,

Dress code :- A set of rules that applies/ specifies the appropriate way of dressing while on the premises of an institution or work place.

Personally, I believe that schools should be able to set rules in the way a student dresses inside their campus for several reasons. With dress codes, students are able to “fit in” much more comfortably

Even though most employees at schools dress appropriately, school districts are still giving a dress code. Just because most are doing the right thing doesn’t mean the rest can get away with it. Plus if the staff is already following a dress code policy, why would they care if it was a “rule” (Graham.)

This type of abuse occurs for all types of reasons, but one of them is how a student dresses compared to their classmates. If a pupil dresses in a way that is not accepted by his or her peers they are an easy target for bullying. Despite the fact that it should not matter how inexpensive or worn a student’s clothes are this does not hinder the aggression. At a young age, it is extremely important to be accepted by your peers. By implementing uniforms school districts can eliminate at least one of the concerns that can run through a teenager’s head when they are stressed about being accepted. Mandating uniforms puts all students on the same economic playing field. Depending on what type of requirements are put into place there are not a lot of distinctions between button downs, or polo shirts. Regardless, of whether you buy them off of a clearance rack at TJ Maxx or as a newly featured Ralph Lauren line they will always be basically the same thing. You can hardly tell most of the time, with the exception that a lot of brand items have symbols, but if the school uniform requires a plain button down then it is irrelevant. This can significantly reduce what students worry about when it comes to being accepted. It takes away the competition of wealth between

I do not think it’s too hard to follow a simple dress code. The reason I don’t think it’s too hard because the dress code has simple rules. The boys can wear shorts or pants and tee shirt or any other shirt. The girls can wear pants, skirt, or some shorts with a shirt. The clothes just can not show anything too revealing. The clothes also can not have anything inappropriate or gang related. I think a light dress code is better and easier than a uniform. The kids who refuse to follow the dress code can be given a uniform or be put in ISS or any other discipline program.

School dress code has been an issue in public schools for a number of years. Many schools around our country are starting school dress codes to deal with many different issues in our schools.

Dress code shouldn't matter you should be able to wear what you want to wear without anyone judging you or telling that you need to change people buy clothes to wear them not to be judge by or having to change in the middle of the day just because it’s ether showing to much or something that isn’t fair to anyone to not wear what they bought just because people think that it’s bad to wear in public and schools shouldn’t have dress code so people can be able to wear anything without the teachers making them change.

Furthermore, there are plenty of rules in the dress code. Like no exposed undergarments, no sleepwear and no oversized clothing. In addition to that, clothing cannot be disruptive or inappropriate. Along with that footwear, footwear must be worn at all times. Ninety percent of students would agree that most of the dress code rules are “unfair”. A lot of students either break or complain about the dress code. They say it’s hard to fine clothes to reason with the dress code and it is.

Almost every school in the United States has some form of a dress code, yet it elicits more anger and backlash than any other school policy. There is a fine line between a fair policy meant to maintain order and policy meant to correct those who are different. American liberty being put to the test while attempting to improve schools means that something is wrong in the way the policy is being enforced. No method to improve the learning environment should interfere with the constitutional rights of this country. Implementing a fair dress code is important because it has potential to improve schools and calm local tensions, but it is also essential to not overstep authority to limit expression, or discriminate based on personal attitude. More specifically, there are many examples of policy established by the United States government that supports a fair dress code and limits an unfair one.
