Persuasive Essay On School Rules

The prominent reason behind the various overdone school rules regarding dress is the loose power that administrators have been given. They have been “reserve[d] the right to determine if a clothing item or accessory is appropriate for school” (Carroll High School Student Handbook 2010-2011 18). The officials at school are using their own personal opinions to judge the students’ dress. Since styles change as time goes on, the generation in control and the

Dress codes are not helping schools like they are meant to do; they are actually harming students in the school. Dress codes shame students and make them insecure about their bodies. They also disrupt precious class time that is vital to students. Buying clothes to fit the school dress code is costlier than some families can afford. Not only are dress codes stifling, but they are also unfair toward specific body types and different genders. Dress codes also decrease a student’s ability to be different from all of their peers in the way they dress. Schools should not have dress codes because they are sexist, unfair and disrupt class time.

I, therefore, a Representative of Westlake High School, and by Authority of the good Citizens as a part of Fulton County, solemnly publish and declare, That this school building is, and of Right ought to be Freely respectful of our, as students, meaningful opinions; that we shall have the right to express how we do feel upon the matter of Westlake High School Dress-code; and that as Free and Independent Adolescents, we shall have full Power to wear what we desire to school, Westlake High School, conclude Peace, distribute freedom to wear what we please, with the exception of outrageous clothing, establish Our Young People’s Justice, and to do all other Acts and Things which we, as Independent Adolescents, may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, we mutually pledge to each other, respect of our Clothing, Demand your attention to our opinions, and Demand you act on this conflict; to discontinue Westlake High School Dress-code.

I agree with few school dress code standards such as “less competition, pressure or other distractions from academics” and uniformity, though many public school districts take advantage of the authority they have over the young mindsets (OCadiz). While having influence over young minds, administrators have suppressed one group, allowing another group to have more freedom than ever. Discriminating against a young woman’s rights to express herself simply because she is a “distraction” is disconcerting. We often wonder why some men grow to be cruel to women, but have you ever thought this behavior could have been recognized while in their primary and secondary schooling? Administrators also argue that school is for learning and not expressing oneself, but where do children spend the majority of their time? If children can not express themselves in school, where else can they?

“Are you in dress code?” As Belleville East students we have all heard this question numerous times throughout the day. Whether this question was directed towards you, or your peers, this simple, but oh so annoying question, is asked countless times throughout the day. Dress code, however, was initially meant to keep students out of trouble and to help keep us focused throughout the school day. Yet making a student vacate a class for the entire hour because their shirt was not the right shade is going to “improve their learning experience” by making them miss the only hour they have in that class. Although this was not the intent, the dress code has become a point of conflict for many. Dress code should not be enforced because realistically it increases behavioral problems and teaches girls that it is our duty to make sure we cover up to ensure a “distraction free” learning environment for the boys.

Dress codes are becoming more and more popular throughout the United States; however, this does not mean all administrators agree with them. In fact, there are educators

The uniform code at St. John Neumann Catholic School is way too strict and is unnecessary. With the uniform code, students get in trouble if they don't always obey it. If you're wearing socks with a logo you will lose points. For boys, if your hair is touching your collar in the back, or if it is past your eyebrows in front of your face, you will get in trouble. If you wear black shoes with a little bit of white on them, the staff, mostly Mrs. Auker, will tell you to color over and ink up your shoes. These shoes are really expensive, and she makes you go buy shoes with money our parents

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?”

This petition is in regards to dress code within Natomas Charter’s middle and high school populations. We are speaking out against their discrimination and shaming against women for what they wear to school. The majority of Natomas Charter School’s dress codes are set with goals to prevent distraction and disturbance of students. Unfortunately, I along with many other students find these policies both ineffective, sexist, and extremely offensive.

School dress codes are very debated. Should we have it? Or should we just have uniforms? It is a broad topic, that many people talk about. In the ASRMS student handbook, (page 36), the dress code states, “In order to create an environment conducive to student learning, the school requires students to dress appropriately for an educational setting. Students shall not wear clothing items that contain messages that are vulgar, obscene or libelous; that denigrate others on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability; that promote alcohol or drug use or violence; or that are otherwise disruptive to the educational process.” It also states that students are not allowed to

The Student Advisory Committee has been involved in many leadership roles during its short time at Columbus’ one of the biggest being revamping the student school dress code. We as students on this committee got the chance to travel to Xavier High School in Cedar Rapids and tour their school and ask students what their current dress code is and how they feel about the certain limitations they have with their dress code. Upon returning to Columbus, everyone on the committee fully embraced their leadership role and we were able to collaborate with each other as well as Mr.Ferrier to provide many new changes that will better suit our dress code in the coming

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.

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.

Kim Harrison say that “ Breaking rules isn't bad when what you're doing is more important than the rule itself.” In discussion of rebellion, one controversial issue has been showing that everyone's bewilderment. On the one hand, people argued that it is unsuitable to infringe the rules. On the other hand, people demonstrate that it is justified to contravene the rules. However, I believe that it is right to break the rules when it support a cause you believe in, unfairly and understandable.

School discipline is to ensure that students and the campus staff are safe and peaceful. According to the U.S. Department of Education on Rethinking Discipline (2017), “Teachers and students deserve school environments that are safe, supportive, and conducive to teaching and learning.” The idea is to decrease bad behavior and school violence which will lead to fewer suspensions and expulsions. There are rules and limitations when it comes to student discipline; there are acts in which students can and must be disciplined. For examples, if a student quality’s for special needs some different guidelines protect them under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act’s (IDEA). Furthermore, the Education Code, Section 48900 was implied to discipline students who committed any wrongful doing such as attempting or threatening to physical harm another person. In the case f any wrongfulness, the student is forced to be disciplined by being suspended or expulsed from school.
