These are some examples I feel that discriminates against some students
We need to adapt the way we communicate with people to different situations or environments. If attending a meeting, whether it’s a staff meeting, meeting with other professionals or dealing with a parent we need to be more formal and conduct ourselves in a professional manner.

Jobs normally don't have that kind of formality with them, they may have different uniforms though. During the 50’s when men were not working they would wear a polo shirt with opposing socks, cargo pants and brown loafers.

I don’t think PFP (pay for performance) is a bad idea in the workplace. However, I feel that employees should be aware that is how they will be paid before they begin work at a company who pays that way. This is fair and the employee knows what they are getting into. Many people are doing their job correctly so working for their pay by PFP is no big deal. My daughter is currently getting paid that way and she is happy at her job and is getting paid well because the customers are leaving wonderful comments about her. It is a personal preference, but do not see a problem with it.

We need dresscode because it establishes professionalism and in schools it shows that we’re in a work place. School is not the beach or the mall or your friend’s house. School is a place in students should initially treat as a job. It’s where work is done and since we should be treating it as a job, we should look the part. When you look good, you feel good and when you feel good you do good. There are some workplaces where employees dress casual. This typically works best though in creative or artistic environments.
