Why We Should Be Forced To Wear Dress Codes

Additionally schools with uniforms say that if students wear uniforms they feel more safe and they learn more. According to Key, Ph.D. “Dress codes do not facilitate this learning.’’ He also states that students voices are suppressed. And that isn’t going to help them to get employed. He also says that “Today, children from diverse backgrounds come together in the giant melting pot called public schools.’’ And dress codes are part of the hidden subject. Students have the right to wear what they want. They should know how to dress themselves and they should be free to do so. Everybody has their own style and they don’t want to look like everyone else.

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.

If we wear uniforms we will all look alike every single day. Dress code can also be bad because it forces you to buy the expensive clothes that you have to get the logo sewed onto each one of the shirts. Some of them cost a lot of money so some people might not be able to afford the clothes. While some rich people can't even tell how much money they would spend on their uniforms. Some of the poorest people won’t be able to pay for the uniforms, which isn't good for them. The only

Not only is dress code sexist, but it’s degrading. Dress code makes girls cover up and not wear what they feel confident in. It is restricting and is telling girls that they should be ashamed of their bodies because they cause a distraction and disrupt the class. Dress code teaches women that they cannot wear what they want because a man will sexualize them (Zhou). Once a person starts hearing how they can’t wear things because it is too suggestive, then that person starts losing confidence. If what a person wants to wear and feels confident in is too suggestive and inappropriate, then what can that person wear? “If schools want to teach respect, they need to give the message that it is unacceptable to blame a girl for being more developed and thus too distracting for her male classmates,” a grandmother, and retired preschool director, said after her elementary school granddaughter was sent to the principal’s

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

There are many reasons why dress code should not be a policy at schools. The dress code usually targets girls and is completely sexist. Hardly is it ever the case where the male is getting dress coded. It’s always the girls who have shorts that are “too short” or are showing “too much” shoulders. Dress code is also often saying that it’s a girls responsibility to not distract

As times have changed school dress codes have not. These dress codes have not been updated and are shaming young girls and woman. The argument for dress codes are saying that dress codes help keep order and discipline in schools as well as self respect. Within that argument I disagree about a majority of those reasonings. “Dress codes have proven to increase student achievement by encouraging students to concentrate more on their studies and less on their wardrobe. A de-emphasis on clothing can also save money, as there will be less pressure to keep up with expensive trends and fashions.” Not only do dress codes target young women by treating them as if they are distractions, they also tend to cost more than normal everyday attire would. The

1. Some consider the overall dress code policy to be sexist as girls are still allowed to wear skirts and dresses while boys are effectively forced into wearing long pants and complaints about boys being given too much leniency are present from the female population.

In the past days as the weather has improved, I have noticed a plethora of girls being dresscoded, to a standard I believe is inaccurate and biased. Girls are being removed from classroom settings to no one's benefit, strict dress codes are promoting stereotypes and negative ideas, and dresscode almost never affects guys I believe our dress code should be changed due to its unfair and shaming nature.

Another big problem with dress codes is the cost. Not every family at the school can financially to buy dress codes items without it causing issues. If a family is forced to move into a neighborhood with the only school around is a private school, they might not support their kids and give them other outfits outside their uniform. Students will have to buy clothes in order to meet the standards of dress

Dress code, such an icky word, right? Every school has them, every student hates it. Have you ever heard, “Too much shoulder is showing” or, “Your shorts must go past your knees” It gets annoying doesn’t it? Fashion is barely even acceptable in most schools due to the high expectations on how the students have to dress. How can students be encouraged to be themselves when they are restricted by dress code, to do so? They can’t. It is understandable to an extent how dress codes must be applied, because some students will display themselves in inappropriate ways or find ways to do so. In which would have repercussions. One can say that

Throughout the years the debate over school dress has been a hot topic, while dress codes are nothing new, they have been a growing issue that past few decades. According to Laura Birkett on the Toronto Star, “For as long as there have been teenagers, there have been adults aghast at their habits... often expressed by their wardrobe” (“Students Protest Dress Codes” IN7). Dress codes pose to have no actual effect on students in today's world. Birkett also explained that with dress code or without it kids will do what they want and will still, most likely, grow up to me respectable adults in the working class (“Students Protest Dress Codes” IN7). Dress codes have been proven unnecessary and therefore, have no positive benefits on students.

Dress code stop originality. They stop originality by stopping people from expressing themselves. No one can be their own self by wearing the same clothes all week every week. Sometimes people like to dress up for a special occasion,

Schools dress codes are there to protect the learning environment, and often have to have people to enforce the dress code. I think school dress codes are overly strict, and they are kind of sexist. School dress code shouldn't be as strict because students should be able to express themselves through clothing, and so they don’t have to struggle to find something to wear that is dress code.

Dress codes are necessary in school when it comes to offensive clothing. I think no student should wear clothing that gives a derogatory message towards someone’s sexuality, religion or race. But telling a girl her bra cannot show, banning spagetti strap tops from being worn or sending girls home because their shorts don’t meet the length requirement is where we must draw the line.
