The purpose of the dress code is to have a better understanding that students do not come here to show off their style, but to come here to learn and get a better education. Students fail to realize the difference between dressing for success and dressing to impress. Dress code is nothing new to our society; many jobs require you to wear certain types of clothing or a uniform. Therefore, these schools are simply preparing their students to have a successful and bright future. Students should be more concerned about what they can learn, not what they can or cannot wear. Education is what motivates student’s people to the top of the platform their wardrobe. “Be careless in your dress if you will, but keep a tidy soul (Twain)”. Students should beware, their future will not depend on…
If schools had school uniforms then the kids would probably not be happy. What if they just put a dress code on? Then the kids would have guide lings but they would be ably top wear what ever they want whenever they want. But with limits so they don’t go over bored and show un-needed parts of your body. So they can’t all…
It has become common for adults to dismiss school dress codes as somewhat inconvenient, but otherwise not important to society in general. Though I agree that school dress codes are inconvenient for students - school is a place to focus on learning, not what you are wearing - I cannot agree that they do not impact society. Dress codes are not only a distraction to students, but also sexist against young women. Most school age girls argue against dress codes by saying that they interfere with their self expression, but overlook that they are actually being discriminated against when they are “dress coded”.…
A solution to the dress code concern at schools is to immediately start enforcing school uniforms. The children may complain that their freedom of expression is being taken away at first, but then they will realize they can style their hair differently and wear buttons, bracelets, necklaces, and more to individualize their outfits. Students will be organized, smarter, and happier if school uniforms are enforced.…

Students like to dress with creativity and follow a trend, like skinny jeans but with dress code this will never happen. School dress code limits students from expressing themselves. One teen student was asked to cover up at the school dance. She said, “It made me feel like I wasn’t good…
All throughout my schooling, I was plagued by a dress code. It felt as if I could not wear anything that I wanted. It seemed like I always was told “Your shorts are too short” or “You aren’t supposed to wear legging without a long shirt” or my personal favorite from teachers was “Your spaghetti straps are inappropriate”. The dress code really used to piss me off for many reasons. For one, I always felt like dress codes were used as a way to punish girls that were curvier than others. Then I felt like the dress code was stupid because it basically told females that we shouldn’t wear certain clothes because it would be distracting to the boys. I mean like what guy is really going to look at my shoulder and think “that’s one sexy shoulder right there”. Regardless of how I personally feel/felt about dress codes, I was set with the task of creating the ideal…
Dress codes are rules that the country has utilized for years. But are these rules necessary? They often suppress students’ individuality as well as students’ self-expression. At the same time these rules also discriminate and needlessly sexualize young women. Dress codes were put in place to establish a distraction-free environment for students. And yet, they are doing the opposite, and thus, modifying or eliminating them would be most logical.…

It is also a good way to make sure that all the students follow the dress code and are up to the school's dress policy.

Students do not have to continually worrying about their wardrobe being up to date and stressing about shopping for the latest styles. A school is a place to learn and the student's…
Completely abolishing dress codes in public schools is not necessary. I understand rules are set in so people can rationally cover up. It also keeps offensive clothing or clothes presenting profanity out of schools. What is not necessary is the bias ruling behind the dress codes. Sexist standards set in for girl’s school clothing is shockingly scandalous.…
Ever since school was created it had always been important to dress nicely and appropriately for and better learning environment. Most schools require uniforms to help this issue. But schools that don’t have uniforms usually have dress codes instead. Schools usually bans tank tops or shorts because they are seen as inappropriate.

When a girl gets told that her outfit is unsuitable to wear to school, her self esteem is dismantled from her. (Kate) In recent years, multiple girls have been punished because of the way they dress while attending school. Dress codes have taken a toll on how girls think about themselves as a person and the way they dress because of the fact that they might have to change due their outfit being “inappropriate.” Public schools should enforce dress codes but they should not be so strict so they do not embarrass children, body shame students, or push sexism toward one gender or another.…
Which would also decrease the want or need to learn in a classroom which would also result in lower test grades and worse academic scores. If there is a dress code enforced then the people with certain religions will not be able to come to the school because there may be something they have to wear when in public or around other people. Which would lower the amount of people coming to school even more than just the people that can’t afford the uniform which in some places may be less than half of the students. So basically enforcing the dress code in some areas may completely ruin the schools funds, or ability to teach students which means it will not be as great of a school to have to go to, because the kids will not be getting as good of and education as they need to…
