Middle School Dress Code

Dress code is administration telling us what we can and cannot wear. Some people believe we should wear uniform, because there's less judgment on what people wear and it's easier to choose what you're wearing in the morning before school. Some people also believe there should be no dress code so students can express their selves and be in the comfort of what they chose to wear. In 2016 at Cy-Fair high school we have a very strict dress code. Cy-Fairs dress code is very bias. I think we should have a dress code but students should not be able to wear super revealing clothing. Student should be able to wear what they want to express themselves and shouldn't be told what they can and cannot wear just because it "distracts" others.

Certain teachers will let you wear something another teacher will not. In Fannett-Metal’s school dress code, it states that the dress code rules “are not limited to…” This leaves room for uncertainty in what is and is not appropriate to wear to school. This also gives teachers a way to dress code students when there is not a rule specifically states in the handbook. Another rule that is unfair to different people is the rule that shorts, skirts, and dresses must be past the middle finger of your hand when you put your arms down. Some people have longer arms or fingers than others, making it harder for them to find clothes that fit the dress code. Students can also shrug their shoulders up to make their arms appear shorter, therefor allowing them to wear shorter pants. “the way dress codes are enforced can mask double standards, insensitivity and

First, they’re very school appropriate. They show no skin. They’re basically like jeans just more comfortable. Sometimes leggings are more appropriate than jeans considering most don’t have huge holes or holes in general. Most people complain they show off in certain areas but you can even wear shirts that are long

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.

Why is middle school dress code substantial? This dress code applies to a great number of middle school students across the United States. According to Tara Culp-Ressler on thinkprogress.org, there are spots around the country that have very tight restrictions to shorts, yoga pants, and leggings, particularly regarding pants that are brightly colored, or have intricate patterns. This is because these are “too distracting to our male peers.” In early March 2014, students of Haven Middle School in Evanston, Illinois, protested when the principal released a new dress code policy. The students protested by wearing leggings and yoga pants, while plastering posters across the school, one reading, “Are my pants lowering your test scores?”

Dress code has been the biggest topic in Treasure Coast High School. There have been many meetings regarding that issue. There should be dress codes for students for many reasons. Some of TCHS dress code rules are collared shirts tucked in, must have sleeves with necklines, shorts/dresses must be at knee length and turtle necks. Like Mallika Sherawat said, “To undress is the dress code these days and I didn’t start it. We are all voyeurs, so why the complaints? Until girls don’t walk in a swimsuit on the stage, they don’t get the crown, so why is everyone so holier-than-thou?”

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?

Dress codes is a standard of clothing for school, office, club, or restaurant. Schools have dress codes to promote professionalism and a distraction-free learning environment. More standards of dressings are set in place for girls than males. This causes an unequal amount of bias towards women and sexism to occur in the dress code.

Due to events in schools across the country, leggings have taken a sharp turn in dress code history. As females continued to wear leggings to school, parent organizations and administrations began to rethink their dress codes. Leggings, which are fitted stretch pants commonly made of spandex, cotton, or polyester, were the center of debate in many schools. They are considered pants, but are sometimes mistaken for tights, or pantyhose. Tights can also be referred to as leggings, but the terms are not interchangeable. Tights are often too revealing, however, leggings are not. Although schools consider leggings to be inappropriate, female students deserve the right to wear them to school because they shouldn’t be the cause of distraction to males, are a form of self-expression, and do not affect education.

The topic about school dress codes and uniforms has become widespread throughout the United States. Located on the Idaho-Oregon border, this area of focus has become propionate in the small town of Payette, Idaho. There is currently a dress code in place, however, there are some outspoken people stating their concerns regarding the schools success based on what the students are wearing. The concerned community members want to give Payette school district a new appearance and an enhanced reputation. Jokes from surrounding schools come back to the Payette student body saying, “Well, you are from Payette so you better get used to losing” or other comments regarding the school reputation.

Most schools have dress codes in place within reason: no crop tops, no short shorts, and no provocative clothing. Sometimes, the school's expectations of clothing cross the line. Some schools say that girls who wear leggings without a long shirt or a shirt that "doesn't fit them right" should have to change. Not every person

"Listen, or thy tongue will make thee deaf." is an old Native American proverb; a piece of advice that I take quite kindly to. It basically advises that if you listen, you will have good ears; yet if you talk, you will become deaf to the words of others around you. I suppose that I am a good example of this. In the past, I have spoken and not listened, and after the fact I hadn't heard a word of anybody else. Let's bring up an argument of the past. A while ago, maybe two years ago or so, my mom and I had an argument about the color of pants I was wearing. This does sound silly, yes. Yet this was a problem because I was violating the elementary school dress code. Sadly, I was too lazy to turn the light on, and look at what color the pants were.

Imagine you walk into school, and within five seconds an administrator tells you to go home. Following that encounter you are then walked to the office, and they have therefore called your parents. Devastation and embarrassment have just drained your entire soul. Elkins Pointe Middle School dress conduct is meant to reflect as stated by Dress Code,” neatness, cleanliness, and safety” (“Dress Code” 1). This however is an extremely taxing price for students. The Dress Code rule number four should be revised because of the inaccurate details in the rule, it also victimizes females, and limits severely what students can wear.

Some school, have problems because we wear jackets to school so now we have the rule that we cannot wear the jackets with pockets. One of the reason is because teacher think that we sneak our phone in our pocket. Which is a good reason but still stupid. If that rule was made for that reason well i guess the the teachers did not think that all the way through. Kids are smart there are other way to sneak your phone in school. Middle school students should be able to wear the jacket with pocket to school for teacher to learn that we can be trusted.
