Personal view: Our dress code isn’t fair
October 17, 2017
Rules are set for a reason. They helps keep things in line and are put in place for our safety but some rules like the dress code aren’t fair.
This morning in first period everything was fine. My day was good and it was a Friday so why wouldn’t I be happy? It was almost time for second period so I went to get up to ask my teacher a question and as I finished my question, she told me that I couldn’t wear leggings and and that I had to go to the office.
When I heard her say those words, I was absolutely mortified. As I walked to the office I was crying my eyes out because it was the first time getting dress coded. The nurse gave me these gray Under Armor shorts to wear over my leggings. It was terrible!
The dress code is absolutely awful. Students are being restricted and they cannot dress how they want to express themselves. I don’t like being sent to the office for breaking dress code; nobody wants to go through all of that.
I don’t want people to go through what I went through. It’s sad. What needs to be done is that the school leaders need to go a little lighter on the dress code. They need to allow leggings as long as you can’t be see through them. They should allow spaghetti strap shirts and off the shoulder shirts and a bunch of other clothing! School is for learning and being comfortable not being sent to the office for your outfit choice.

Meh, I think the dress code is fair. I mean, clothes can be awfully distracting. I mean, you wouldn’t want to see a 45, year old teacher show up to class in booty shorts, would you? It seems fair enough to me, I mean, like half the girls that I think should be dress code for the extremly tight pants they’re wearing aren’t, so *shurg*
There are plenty of ways people can express themselves without looking…er, uh,kinda sluty (in my opinion)
If you show up in like a spaghetti strap tank top, it looks like you’re not really coming to school to learn to me. More like hook up with someone lol.

I think this is a really good topic to write about. I agree the school dress code is really unfair.

I think this is a great topic to write about. I totally agree with your argument. I believe that dress code restricts people and is completely sexist. This is a topic that a lot of students are angered by, and it is ridiculous.

I completely agree. We should be able to wear the clothes that we want(unless they are inappropriate). clothing is the way we express ourselves. I love your side on the topic and agree with this article and you. There is things that we could change about dress code.

I loved your article. I agree with you 100%. The dress code is not fair because some students just want to dress like how they dress at home. But they cant because there is a dress code. So your article is 100% true because about dress code.

I love it.I personal think that we made a dress code for a reason.i dont know whpat they had in minde restricting us or help ing us. It just doesn’t make sence not to have hats and tha shirts cant be off the sholder or a little smaller. Think that that we shold go to extra length to see why we make or made theys rules…….

I agree with this 100%. Our dress code is too strict. School is for learning and if someone is being distracted by what I’m wearing, then that’s there fault not mine. Good article!
