don’t get distracted by backs or shoulders in class. Students should be able to create their own dress code for their school.

It's that time of the year again, back to school. As much as I'll miss my 15 year old daughter, I am so glad that we are back in session, that is unless we're talking about the Dress Code Blues. It is the third day of school today. My daughter casually informed us that she has already seen ten students get "dress coded".

their days at school, one girl suddenly says, “Another girl got dress-coded today. She was crying in the bathroom afterwards. It’s so unfair! Her shorts weren’t even that bad, and she was dress-coded by a teacher she’d never talked to before-- in the middle of math!” Everyone else at the table looks around worriedly -- they know what’s coming. For the next two months, they’ll choose one of two routes: be way too warm in their dress-code-conforming jeans and unable to learn effectively, or go to school
Hi, I’m Christen Taylor. You might know me as the girl who asked about the dress code rule in the DC trip assembly.

important ones, is the dress code. From experience, if a dress code is in place to have students dress up properly, then students for one, look nicer. Although, they also tend to act better. Personal appearance has a mental and emotional impact on how we will act for the day, as well as how we see the world. Traditionally I see better behavior with student that dress more formal.

years are a time for finding and expressing yourself, and it’s extremely hard to do this already monumental task while being told the way you dress is “wrong”. Of course, dress codes can be okay if they’re reasonable. If a dress code tells students not to show up to school in swimsuits, that’s understandable. However, if a dress code tells girls to dress a certain way in order to avert the male gaze, that’s unacceptable. In today’s society, a woman’s body is constantly discriminated against and
Dress codes are worldwide and many people have problems dealing with them. Uniforms or dress codes are implemented at both jobs and school. Some dress codes make it to where people cannot express who they are or how they may feel. Dress codes should be implemented but not as strict.

identity issues.The problem with school dress code and opinions on how things should be done and classified have been around for years and years.

“Congress shall make no law... prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech...”. This is what our first amendment speaks about. The freedom of speech and expression. Schools have been violating this law in the place of school dress codes.

Students should have the ability to express themselves as it
Have you ever gotten dress coded? Well I have, even though what I was wearing wasn’t even bad. Schools have always had a problem with dress code, because students want to wear what they like!
