Should Girls Be Allowed To Dress Codes

We all know that there is different rules in almost all school dress codes that apply to guys and girls. For example, at some schools guys can't wear beanies during class but girls can. A girl can't have shorts that reach before their fingertips when they have their arms down. I personally feel like there shouldn't be “dress code” because for many people they like to express themselves by what they wear, why should schools make people feel uncomfortable? Not having uniforms can make the students feel competitive on what they wear and where they have got their clothes from. For some students those things do matter, but for some of them it doesn’t matter they’re going to school to learn, not to impress people at school. Some schools hate what their students wear to school, but don’t they have like favorite pieces of clothing that they also love as much as the students do? If schools don't like what they are seeing in the student’s “outfits” each day then they should start making students to wear their school uniforms. 15 year old, Miranda Larkin, was sent to the nurse's office for wearing a short skirt that violated the school dress code, and they made

The people who are in charge of creating the school dress code don’t think of girls feelings, or their need to be an individual. There are also some unnecessary rules in schools, and what schools deemed inappropriate or distracting. The schools are taking some of the girls rights away. I believe that the dress code for the younger generation is too focused on girls, and it’s way too strict. Students should not have to wear school uniforms, some schools went for believing it would get rid of competition.

In addition to, some people think school dress codes are fair and do not target a specific gender. Some girl test the limits by wear a crop top or short shorts with tights under them. Yes dress code is great to a certain extent. Why can the school board not cut slack and get on the girls full on breaking the rules. Finally, schools need to stop targeting girls and being sexist towards them, be less harsh on girls and their clothes.

First and foremost why schools should have a no-strict dress code is because it brings girls self-esteem down. When girls get dress coded they might feel: sad, angry, annoyed and upset. And especially body shamed. “As a women, I know almost no women who like their body, who feel good about there body, almost none, but you don’t know how it got there,” Perlman said in an interview. As a result, Dress codes are body shaming girls from when they were in their teens, to adulthood. The average number of girls getting dressed coded has increased by 20% in the past year! That’s crazy! About most of the dress code, girls feel body shamed! One 15-year-old girl said, “I feel bad because it's my body... and there's no reason for the school to be telling me to cover up,” she said. Lastly, if schools had a less strict dress code with the excuse of girls showing too much skin, we would all be more confident with our

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

In a specific article posted by The Atlantic, a middle school student named Maggie Sunseri realized that her school’s dress code had a major difference for males and females. She mentions, “I’ve never seen a boy called out for his attire even though they also break the rules.” I also agree with her on this. Although I went to a catholic school where we had to wear our school uniforms, I constantly see all over social media how girls are treated differently for breaking the policy. I have seen that girls are sent home for showing their shoulders, collar bones, for wearing their skirts too short, or for even wearing leggings because it is too tight against their skin.

How many times have you heard of a child being sent home due to their outfit? In so many towns and cities there is ridiculous dress codes. Most of the dress codes are directed towards females. These rules somewhat make them feel as if they have to hid their bodies so they won’t distract men. High school dress codes are detrimental to all student’s confidence outside and inside the classroom.

The school dress code is a very controversial topic for boys and girls but mostly girls. They treat girl from a young age that we should be ashamed of our bodies and cover up because we're too distracting to the boys. Yes there does have to be some restrictions to the dress code but others that say our sholder is to distracting is taking it to far. Girls should be proud of themselves and really the dress code is tearing down their confidence. If were to distracting to the boys for even just showing a little bit of shoulder that boy should be talked to that girls shouldn't just be seen as an object of pleasure and that there human to. Instead of doing something like that we are told to cover up and should be ashamed for even showing even a little bit of our shoulders or stomach. We do however do need a dress code so people don’t just

School's rule some clothes as too distracting or inappropriate because they believe some clothing items are too short or goes too low for example. There are only dress codes because they want to "promote a safe, disciplined school environment, prevent interference with schoolwork and discipline, and to encourage uniformity of student dress "according to https:education.findlaw.com. What they don't realize is we don't need rules for that. Dress code at school is a violation of not only American rights but human rights. I believe that everyone has a right to dress how they wish unless if they are in a serious or business matter. There should not be dress codes at school because it violates rights. Dress codes are mainly sexist, and it put stress on teachers. "A dress code is a set of rules, usually written and posted, specifying the required manner of dress at a school, office, club,

One of the challenges I face in this school is the dress code. I think the dress code is ridiculous, unnecessary, and not fair. One of the ways dress code is not fair is the only dress code girls that are mainly in the 7th grade, and the boys could come to school with tank tops and shorts, and no one would care. As soon as a girl wears a shirt that has a 2 inch wide strap, all of the principles overreact, because it is “distracting.” Instead of dress coding the girls, they should educate these young boys on how to behave, and how to properly treat girls.

It is a known fact that 62% of girls in grades 5-9 are insecure about their bodies. It doesn’t help that districts have extremely strict dress codes. They say it applies to everyone, but students know they are aiming their message out to girls. Districts tell girls to cover themselves up because they are major distractions. If girls have the right to have education, they should have the rights to wear the things they want.

I think the dress code is to strict they always get us 7th graders because we wear a tank top that is two fingers wide or something about our storts that are to short. The 7th graders always get in trouble about clothes but none of the 5th or 6th graders never get dress coded. And i think 5th and 6th should be able to get dress coded not just all of the 7th graders we should be able to be treated fairly to each other

Today, most states have laws that allow school boards to make dress code rules for students within their district to promote a safe, disciplined school environment, prevent interference with schoolwork and discipline, and to encourage uniformity of student dress(“School Dress Codes.”) . Dress codes are needed and is a good idea for students to follow that gives them structure and realistic views on how they should portray themselves in the world. By following dress codes, it terminates the salacious feelings that may arise due to revealing clothes worn by students, it promotes a safe environment, and prevents interference with students learning. In today’s schools, there are expected dress codes to follow.

Almost all school have dress codes and there are some problems with them. BELTS, we are not required to where belts in school. You may think it’s not a big problem but it is because kids sag there pants all the time because they don’t have belts. It would not be a problem if we didn’t have to see there under where and privates all the time. It’s also addicting because when you start dressing a certain way it can be hard to change. Finally smaller kids see it and think it’s cool and start doing it and it can all be avoided if we just had to where belts.

The code clearly states “4. ALL skirts/dresses/shorts/skorts must be fingertip length or longer. Items that do not meet this qualification must come to the mid-thigh and be worn with opaque stockings, leggings, or warm-up pants underneath.” Rule #5 says “Tube tops, tank tops, spaghetti straps, camisoles, or other clothing which exposes bare midriffs are not permitted. All shirts/tops must have a sleeve delineated by a shoulder seam. Clothing that is excessively revealing is not permitted in school.” These rules are obviously biased towards girls’ clothing and dictates they cannot wear certain clothing to school. The administration must have ignored the fact that for about 3-4 months of the school year, it is hot and humid outside. Yet girls are expected to wear jeans, without “excessive holes” of course, and sleeved shirts. Some say making uniforms mandatory is a solution to this problem. This alternative is nearly foolproof, except for the fact that no matter what a girl wears to school, she cannot control how her body looks in something. A female with a bigger chest size could wear a uniform everyday, but she will still get scolded for her shirt being too tight. This dress code also teaches girls to disrespect their other female peers, solely based on what they’re wearing. The words “slut”, “whore”, and “hoe” are thrown around on a daily basis and used to degrade a girl entirely because off her outfit. The dress
