    Speech codes, what do they even do, are they any help, and who wants them, not me. Speech Codes are not really necessary because they're not really effective, and sometimes they backfire as in it makes a situation worse. Speech restrictions do not change the minds of people, and finally students not often but for sure purposely break rules for good or for bad.

    School should not have dress code because I believe that when schools don't have dress code the students will focus better in class when they get to wear anything you want.

    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 apprehensively every day in something that they’re not sure will pass the test, but knowing that at least physically they’ll be comfortable throughout the day.
