Students want dress code changed
September 27, 2018
In schools there are rules that are supposed to keep things in order but there is one specific rule that keeps getting students at Dobie– the dress code. Some people think that the dress code is needed and others think it isn’t needed at all. Is the dress code fair or not? It’s up to the Dobie students to figure what should change and should not change. Since everyone has their own opinions on the dress code and how it should be we decided to go and interview a couple of students around the school and see what they think about the dress code.
Khamirah Culmer, an 8th grader said the dress code is unfair. “I think the dress code is unfair in many ways especially the ripped jeans rule and 4 inch rule for shirts and dresses. Dress code also needs improvements and the administrators also need to be less strict about it.”
Another 8th grader Madelyn Meerscheidt said,”I wish the administrators would change the rule about the ripped jeans and off the shoulder shirts it’s not like it’s distracting anyone anyway. The administrators should also start paying attention to the boys since it seems like they can wear ripped jeans up to their thighs but not get in trouble yet girls can.”
There are also students that like the dress code and think it’s needed. Nathan Stanley, a 7th grader said,”We shouldn’t change the dress code because some things are needed and if it changes some things would go wrong.”
Alison Meredith, 8th grader, thinks the dress code should stay the same and not change. “The dress code is needed because some girls think its okay to dress a certain way to show off their body like their cleavage or stomach to impress boys even though it isn’t. They should also change the rules for ripped jeans it isn’t a big deal,” she said.
Adrianna Mcghee, 7th grader, also thinks the dress code is needed but some rules aren’t. “There are areas in the dress code that are needed but also so me that aren’t,” she said.

I agree with how some things should change like the bare shoulders, but also how some should stay the same. I like how you interviewed a lot of people to get a lot of opinions. The ending was a little weird. I couldn’t figure out what the last sentence was.

i can relate to this article because i have got dress coded before because my jeans were ripped above my knee.
i think they should change the ripped jeans rule because i don’t really think its a big deal.

I don’t really like the dress code because I dont see how other people can get away with wearing an off the shoulder top but as soon as I or my friends wear one we get dress coded. I just dont see the distractions on shoulders.

I definitely relate to this article, because I would get dress coded for littlest hole on my thighs and I feel like this is a game for administrators seeing how many GIRLS they can dress code even if its the tiniest thing and I only say girls because you never see guys getting dress coded . And yea sure I agree with most of the rules for dress code but I don’t agree with the ripped jeans nor the off the shoulder rule its just ridiculous. Great job with this article and the interviews!
