School : Traditional Dress Code Essay

The debate over school uniforms and dress codes has been going on for years and is still widely debated and talked about in the education system. Each side of the argument has many supporters. There are many pros and cons to each side so it is hard to really know what the right choice is. In Three Cups of Tea written by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin education is the main focus of the book. Although most of the book takes place half way across the world many topics are relevant to the school systems today in America. In the book the girls received, “crisp new school uniforms neatly folded inside its cellophane wrapper” and they are completely overjoyed to hold their first

“What does the prophecy say?” I peered into the oblong mirror. The dress accentuated my full hips and busts. She brushed my hair, braiding the front, placing a silver, jeweled headband, matching the other women in my hair and chose jadeite earrings and a necklace. "That you were to be chosen by a watcher. They passed me by without a second glance."

When I was in school had to dress that ridicules uniform (white shirt and navy blue Pants), that nobody liked but was the school dress code and affordable for most of the families with lower income, I only had two pair of uniforms, what my mom needed to wash it almost every day, and forget about the backpack that was like carried a 7 lbs. sand bag on you back every day, that was only my notebooks and books for my classes, if my memory don’t fail we just to have like 6 six classes every day I need to bring each book and notebook every day. My childhood not was that but we don’t have the technology we have now in days, the projector, computer or laptops, the online access, online library, eBook’s, if you want to go school you really need to

Young girls across the world are constantly being sexualized and told to cover up their bodies. Girls starting from middle school through high school are told to meet ridiculous standards that are required to be appropriate to attend public school. Girls who are forced to change or go home based on these absurd demands are being told that putting their education on pause, is more important that being comfortable in their clothes they are wearing. A boys wears a shirt to school with a bikini model on it, and nothing is said. A girl wears a tanktop on a 90 degree day, and she is pulled out of class. Standards like this are interrupting the education of many young women across the world, and they need to be stopped. Ruining self esteem for

It is of no possible argument that some of the most valuable and lasting ideas of life and the world around us are taught and learned at school. Hard work does you well. Cheaters never prosper. Education is the key to success. Girls bodies are a distraction and objects to be inevitably sexualized and harassed. This may sound over exaggerated, but this is the message beings sent to millions of students near and far by the sexist, self-esteem demolishing, unfocused dress codes in schools today. This said, dress codes in schools create a negative environment, putting the focus on the wrong things and ideas, both promoting rape culture and a strong sense of sexism.

It is the beginning of August, the dreadful days in school have finally arrived. Since it is still ninety degrees outside and the AC can not keep up, most boys walk through the halls with shorts and cut-off tank tops. we wear long pants such as, jeans or leggings, “Why?”, you ask, Why would one ever want to wear that? Unfortunately, It is not an easy choice for us to make. Girls face the question when deciding to wear shorts, “Are these long enough, am I going to get in trouble?” Despite the warm temperatures outside and inside girls can not wear what they want, because it shows too much of their bodies. Boys? Can wear their cut-offs showing more than girls. Do they get in trouble for showing too much? The answer, usually is no. .To this day women are not equal to men in, school, the workplace, or at home. In this article, Rowena uses ethos, a very limited amount of logos, and no pathos to make an argument about the sexism towards school dress codes and how it promotes rape culture.

Ensuing President Bill Clinton's State of the Union address in January of 1996, more and more public schools are implementing dress codes and uniform policies in their schools. As a result, there has been an increase in legal controversies dealing with the issue. The reason that dress codes are not conclusively enforced is due to the application of the First Amendment to juveniles in the public school setting. The First Amendment states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Should children in public

Dress code blues and exploration of urban student reaction to public school uniform policy was written by Kneis DaCosta Ursinus College. The study consisted of 22 African Americans students female and male. The control group would be studied for two years, from the end of 8th grade and to the end of 10th grade. Also, it was a school in the urban sector of the Midwest. Brookside High School is a vocational magnet school with grades 9 through 12. The population is represented by the control group. 22 of 31 students selected by random selection based on reading and math achievement test from the 8th grade was used for the control group. It was believed that the introduction of student uniforms would improve discipline, would improve academic

Students spend eight hours a day in school, but they have no voice towards the components of it. Many students will agree that Alexandria High School has appealing attributes, but it also has concerning faults. At this school, modifications need to be made to the course opportunities, the dress code, and the sanitation in order for the students to prepare for a productive future in a more comfortable, satisfying environment.

I feel that the school dress code needs to be revised to a newer, less strict version. Some of the rules are unnecessary and foolish such as the rule about and covering vulgar or offensive tattoos. This is because you have to be 18 or older to get a tattoo in Kansas and most students’ graduate when they are 17 or 18. The last time the school dress code was revised was about four years ago and fashion was a lot different then. There are a few other rules that are unnecessary and one that I think should be put in place.

So what im going to talk about is dress code because i dont think we should have it them not letting us wear pants with holes or taketop or shorts is litally the dumbest thing to me cuz pants with holes are cute and if its hot we dont want to wear pants we want to wear taketop with shorts and them saying that its a distraction to boys make me really mad because are legs are under the table so they cant even see them and i have no clue how are arm are a distraction because we all have arms and if girls have dresscode the

The ringing of the alarm clock that is placed conveniently beside your bed wakes you. The sound startles your brain into getting out of your warm, cozy bed. It is time to go to school. You must wake up now in order to make it on time. If you are late again, your teacher will probably give you that nasty look of dismissal. What are you going to wear?

Disguised as guidelines for the real world, dress codes hold a significant part in the role of rape culture. Students of the public-school system are told that dress codes are here to prepare students for outside job responsibilities and most notably, to promote self-respect. However, dress codes target young girls by telling them if they are wearing a certain top or type of pants, they are not respecting themselves. This is a PG way of saying that “boys will be boys”, so if they get distracted by your shoulders or legs, then it is the females fault because she should have known to not wear something so provocative. This lesson that has sent home hundreds of girls from school is dangerous. Every time a girl is sent home, a negative message is passed along that the female body is only a distraction and that a males’ education is more important than a females’. As a result of this, I have created WAC. Women Against Codes is an organization devoted to helping young girls and supporters speak their minds and ending dress codes. My organization is here to end the learning of the idea that women are not subject to respect based upon what they wear, female bodies are sexual no matter of the circumstance, and that women do not have a sexuality of their own and if they do, it is purely for a man’s own benefit. We are here to tell not only school administrators, but also society that we need to teach respect amongst all students instead of sending a girl home to create a safe,

This dress. I have no words. It is a peach-colored vomit disaster. I mean what person thought my chest needed a giant flower in the middle of it. This dress is the biggest eyesore I have ever seen. No one looks good in this dress and the cut of it makes us all look at least five pounds. The other bridesmaids and I looked like we were trying to look like a parade of sadistic princesses. I might actually be glad that Deb was not there to see me look ridiculous. She has been with me for nine years and has never seen me this made up. This is certainly more than my usual outfit. She has seen me two ways, a real estate agent and how I prefer to look, jeans and a semi-nice blouse. Though with her I could at least have someone to avoid all my relatives with. Seeing all their judgmental eyes during the ceremony was almost too much even for me. Each of them was scanning each of the bridesmaids and assigning us derogatory terms. Meredith, needs to smile, Trisha, needs to wear less makeup, Georgenne, needs to lose 10 pounds, Frances, needs to smile less, and I am the horrid lesbian. This is at least what my mother taught me that women are thinking. Though they might have just been looking at the sobbing mess that was Georgene. She was making the most unhuman sounds. The minute she reached the alter she was in tears. Not dainty tears for her dear friend Tracy, but embarrassing giant sobs that seemed to almost stop her breath. No idea what that was about and honestly, I do not want to

The issue of whether or not school uniforms are a necessity in today’s society has been a long standing debate. However, it did not come onto the national scene until 1996 when then President Bill Clinton spoke of the matter in his annual State of the Union Address. Citing the Long Beach city school district in California, Clinton spoke of the positive effects of uniform implementation, including: decreased drug cases, sex offenses, violent crimes and fights.
