When you send a girl home because her shorts are too short or her clothing is immodest you are telling her that covering up her body is more important than her education" (anonymous). School dress codes should not be as strict as what they are now.…
I am rarely ever the one to post, especially about my issues, but I am speaking for many. While the discussion and arguments about school dress code are going on so isn’t downgrading, stereotyping, and bullying. Many comments have been made by people who are stereotyping others for instance cheerleaders. We are being stereotyped as preppy, snobby, slutty, “the populars”, and the list goes on. We are being used in examples like “The people who wear intentional holey jeans and revealing clothing are “the populars” and cheerleaders.” And “The cheerleaders wear skirts hiked up their butts and push their boobs up to the sky, but I got in trouble for wearing the clothes I did, this is favoritism.” This being all untrue is stereotyping, downgrading…
The Preamble of the 2009 Model Rules of Professional Conduct states in part “…a lawyer is also guided by personal conscience and the approbation of professional peers…Virtually all difficult ethical problems arise from conflict between a lawyer 's responsibilities to clients, to the legal system and to the lawyer 's own interest in remaining an ethical person while earning a satisfactory living…Such issues must be resolved through the exercise of sensitive professional and moral judgment guided by the basic…
I say there shouldn’t be dress code for Magnet Schools. If it is middle schools then yes, but not in high school. As it is some magnet middle/high schools you have to apply to get into. If you don't apply you can’t go. I feel like high school’s shouldn’t have to get a dress code because what if you can't afford to buy buy uniforms or collar shirts. That goes for guys and girls because what if you can't afford more than one uniform or skirts for the girls and some collar shirts. It may prepare you for a job to look well presented but not all kids could afford the clothes. The school may look well presented but I feel if they wanted to dress code they should support with the uniforms. So there shouldn't be a dress code but there should be a…
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.…
54 percent of schools in America have dress codes.This issue is important because, they have caused numerous lawsuits, and safety concerns across America.Yes some people believe that school dress codes aren't necessary, but they are necessary, because they help promote school safety. Requiring students to conform to a dress code is beneficial to the school experience, because they prevent gangs from identifying each other and help prevent gang violence, they decrease the gap between rich and poor kids, and they help easily identify non-students.…
A timeless quote that can be related to multiple different matters. In this case, dress code. Dress code is a very controversial topic because it is either there is either full control or not enough control. Yet, there will always be that dying question of whether or not the school system is treating the subject matter thoroughly or not.…
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…
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.…
In todays time most schools have a dress code. Most schools believe that dress codes help kids stay modest. Most students would beg the differ. Dress codes are not needed because they are a violation of student rights, distraction from the learning environment, and dress codes are sexist towards woman. Dress codes are offensive in a lot of different ways.…
Dress codes. Dress codes are something that everyone has to deal with for almost their whole lives, but schools are where dress codes seem to be the most prominent. It seems that every couple of weeks a school has made the news because of their strict dress code or their punishments for breaking the dress code. As a teenage girl, the dress code is something that I have a love-hate relationship with. It can either limit what I can wear or make me thankful for giving me guidelines when I don’t know if something is appropriate enough to wear to school.…
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. But there are dress codes in many school that can be seen as sexist and shames mostly girls for it.…
According to the educational website, Find Law, “The first school dress code law was established in 1969 by the U.S. Supreme Court. The case, known as Tinker vs. Des Moines Independent School District, involved several high school students who wore black armbands to school in a planned protest against the Vietnam War” (School Dress). These student had a right to voice their opinion through clothing. Every kid through pre-k to 12th grade should be able to dress how they want. Mary Persons should eliminate the dress code because students should be able to express themselves, be able to afford the clothes, and to boost their self-confidence.…
How would you feel if your kids were going to school everyday and you found out that the teachers were more focused on how they were dressed than their grades? Kids go to schools every day that enforce dress code laws and there are so many problems going on with dress code that keep kids from making good grades and may make kids feel left out. I believe that schools should not enforce dress code because schools are more focused on it than any other problems, dress code eliminates freedom of self expression, and most kids will oppose the law of dress code. Many schools that enforce dress code are often more focused on student dress code laws than any other current problems going on in the school. Tom Houlihan, a former superintendent, stated that “school uniforms are a distraction from focusing…
Now, dress codes are meant to prevent bullying, but they still cause a great deal of it. Also, schools have dress codes in an attempt to prevent sexual harassment. Schools want to protect their students' lives and help them gain an education. A simple, small dress code is acceptable, but there is no point in trying to punish students…
