Coming forth as a senior, whom has attended Miami Beach Senior High all four years, it is an outrage what school administration and staff is carrying out. Miami Beach Senior High has been known and valued for the lenient uniform policy which encourages comfortableness, self-expression and individuality. When a student is proposed a strict and restrictive uniform policy, they begin to feel striped of all individuality and freedom of expression. Students become anxious easier, constantly second guessing and feel uncomfortable being where they are.
If I am going to have to sit in a chair for seven hours, I would like to at least be comfortable.
First and foremost, as a school located a three block distance from the beach, humidity and heat waves

Students with restrictive uniform policies do not have an improvement in attendance (Washington journal). Here in Miami Beach Senior High to get a uniform violation on the first block schedule day took ALL of first period. Some students of which had Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment, Honors, and many other beneficial classes MISSED THE FIRST DAY. A student currently attending Miami Beach Senior High TOOK TWO HOURS to get to her class because she had “holes” in her jeans.
Faculty and Staff at Miami Beach Senior High are also forcing students to PAY, out of their own pocket no matter the student's financial status, to receive a OVERSIZED LONG SLEEVE WHITE SHIRT to wear the day they are "caught" in violation of uniform.
If the faculty and staff were worried about me getting an education and making beach high “greAt” again, than maybe the focus shouldn’t be on my knee slits but on the material being taught, quality of student work and extracurriculars that need to be done, i.e. some students don’t have a french teacher, others are missing core classes, some don’t even have a proper schedule, the student parking lot hazard, & etc.
Beach high has downgraded from an "A" school to a "C" school and by holding students back class periods and days because of mere uniform infractions WILL NOT help either
Since them opening in 2006, the West Campus of Miami Dade College, located on Doral at the west side of Miami as they own name tells, has been the study house of thousands of students. Unfortunately, in 2012 a catastrophic garage collapse occurred when it was three-fourths complete, leaving the students without somewhere to park their cars to attend class. Consequently, leading too many effects on student’s schedule and also even on their budget.
Do you think Conroe high school should change there rules. I think conroe should change the hat rule to be able to where it in school.
To conclude, Miami Dade College offers innumerable opportunities, not only to its valued students, but also to its employees. Miami Dade College is a family of change makers and enthusiasts who always aim for greatness. Miami Dade has been the catalyst in my synthesis as a competitive student who refuses to stand still and watch innovation from a distance. This school has taught me to embrace change and adapt to quickly changing situations, since that is what constitutes life. My life has been a chain of events that lead to bigger events, and my stay in the college has been the biggest event that culminated in the fusion of a hardworking, perseverant, competitive, indebted young person with the right tools to flourish. I’m successful because
My time at Sam Houston High School can be described as completing complicated and something I would never do again. However, that glorious end is in sight as I look at working for the good while of my life I think I would really enjoy myself with the amount of progress I would be making. While working, I plan on becoming really stable to do my own things. After, I hope to maybe go to a community college, with a concentration in Business Management. After completing my degree I plan to maybe own my own company or store.
Schools have often done unthinkable things to students who are out of dress code such as require a student to wear a completely unflattering shirt and pants that can and have caused cases of bullying, or even send a student home interfering with their learning abilities. Sending a student home, usually in cases of a female’s attire because it is “distracting” to the boys at school is implying that the male’s education is more important than the female’s, is extremely intolerable because it prevents that student from getting an education. Schools’ having a strict dress code also prevents students from being able to dress for the weather, especially in southern states such as Arizona, Texas, and Florida where temperatures can topple 100 degrees Fahrenheit on a daily bases. Kids and young adults should be able to make the decision to wear shorts and shirts on their own, like tank tops, in response to the temperature and not have it dictated by what a school board thinks is
Conroe High School has many rules. Many are silly and some are actually very important.The one rule I think is silly is being able to get tardies after lunch and it should be changed because some of the Conroe High students eat their lunch in a different room or even a different part of the school, and also the tardies that are possible to get after lunch you can't necessarily get rid of even if it’s because lunch took too long.
Madera High school in its past years have dealt with many cases of bullying and harassment among the students on the campus. A hand full of students from Madera High stated that people being harassed and picked on was something that was seen often on social media and up in personal. This became a major problem when social media such as Myspace were first made. This was the beginning of online harassment and bullying. Cyber bullying isn’t something that other people should just look past and ignore because people take their lives from it. People don’t notice what’s going on in the life of a victim that is bullied. Nowadays mostly all of Madera high school students have social media and physical bullying is more rare to see because most of the
Students struggle throughout high school and go through a great deal of stress. Whether it be making friends, or working hard to pass a difficult class. To make things more pressuring, they are not allowed to wear what they want. The administration made the decision that it is best to suspend a student for their choice in clothing. If they go against the rule of dress code, there will be serious consequences. What students wear should not affect their class work. If a student gets sent home for their outfit, it is affecting their grades and attendance. Punishment disrupts the students education more than what they are wearing. High school students should feel free to embrace their individuality without being pressured by dress codes; therefore, it should be eliminated from all schools indefinitely.
1889, that’s when the long history of Columbia City High School starts. Columbia City High School is a very old school with very rich history, but it's time to turn over a new stone. Since this dilapidated school has reached a point when it's become of ill repair and there’s nothing more to do. The numerous problems that plague CCHS are constant. The final straw was pulled, the city has decided to build a new high school within the next three years. This is a large project that current high school students won’t be able to participate in but should still try the help as much as possible.
Why do we have a uniform code? Why do the students of St. John Neumann Catholic school have to wear a uniform if they don't like them or want to? Why does the problem exist? Why should the problem be solved? Well, the teachers/staff at SJNCS are forcing the students to follow guidelines such as, for boys: your hair must not touch the collar of your shirt. For girls: you must have a skirt with a dollar bill length from your knee. If you break these rules, there will often be silly and ridiculous consequences.
School uniforms have become more a distraction for teachers/administration than it has for parents and/or students. Teachers and Administrators perceptions of a uniform violation/infraction seem to have gotten out of hand. It further goes on to explain: optional articles, criteria’s to determine hardship status, and compliance measures.
In addition, this highlights one of our themes, being that if a student breaks a dress code one of administrator’s consequences is out of school suspension, depriving them of their education. However, this harsh consequence is specifically thrown at the females, since they are the main
One of the greatest controversies that is spreading throughout high schools in the United States is parents and their children against the enforcement of their school’s uniform policy. More schools have been adopting uniform policies within the past decade. Rules contained in the policy that are implemented range from wearing certain types of tops (shirts) in specified colors to students being required to tuck in their shirts. In the past, uniforms were exclusively for students who attended private schools because they were “well-off”, but now uniforms are being seen more frequently in public schools on students of all economic levels. Having gone through a school system that considered adopting a uniform policy, I would have to press
Much of the current school uniform policy literature offers descriptions of potential strategies to achieve successful school uniform implementation. After reviewing all literature, the finding provide some support on school uniform policy and student achievement. Survey No.1, student survey indicated that combined with both schools, more girls participated in the study than boys. The results were very similar in both school results that most males and females did not agree with the uniform policy. Specifically more females, one hundred and seventy eight females overall did not agree. Students indicated that they totally disagreed with the school uniform policy because of their identity restrictions, which the school have enforce on them.
This is because of high suspension numbers along with the low-test scores the parents and faculty members agreed that something had to change, the vote passed and the mandatory dress code policy would be put in effect for the first time in a public school (Wilson, 1998). This policy started off small but once schools noticed the results that the Long Beach middle school was seeing the policy began to be adopted by more schools throughout the country. In 1994 the state of California passed a state law that would allow schools to enforce a school uniform policy (King, 1998). The following year many states like New Jersey, Texas and Iowa also passed laws like the one in California (King, 1998). Each state that has these laws in place has similar requirements for the schools to follow. For instance, California requires that the schools that do have mandatory uniforms ensure that the uniforms are a fair price allowing low-income families to be able to afford the proper attire for their child to attend the school (King, 1998). Other states like Washington allow parents to opt-out of the school that has the uniform policy. The child can be sent to another school if the parents of the child do not want to send their son or daughter to a school that requires them to wear a uniform (King, 1998). In addition to the mandatory uniform policies states like Iowa have dress code laws that prohibits students from wearing any clothing that in any way are gang
