Box Elder High School and Colony High School both have specific dress codes. First we will go over some things that the two high schools have in common. Then we will go over some things that are different.…
Students have set rules and expectations to follow. One rule would be dress code. At Beaufort High School a 17 year old Student Body President was stopped by a teacher in the hallway and was told, “Your skirt is too short. You need to go to in-school suspension and then go home”. After she was told to go to in-school suspension, she was told that she could go home and change.…
I have decided to write this journal article on an article that I found online that speaks directly to experiences that I had throughout middle school and high school. The article is titled, “The Sexism of School Dress Codes”. A young girl named Maggie Sunseri noticed that the dress codes in her school were geared more directly to girls than it was to boys. At first, Maggie rightfully saw this concept to be unfair. The rationale that the administrators gave behind this idea, however, was even more upsetting to Maggie.…
In my personal experience, I have seen women that are dressed in men’s attire either at a restaurant or shopping center and because that are not in proper gender attire people are confused and don’t understand how they should treat the person. No matter how a person dresses or their gender everyone should be treated equally. We as humans shouldn’t see someone for their gender but see them as a…
But I digress. The unfairness towards women touch more various topics. Such as rape culture. Why can't a women wear whatever she feels fit and confident in without men thinking she she dressed up for him? Why is it that when women sleep with men she's deemed as a whore but me are congratulated for doing virtually the same thing.…
Men are capable of respecting a woman’s decision to wear whatever she chooses without using it as an invitation, because what a woman is wearing never indicates if she is “asking for it.” In fact, nothing a man or woman does justifies unwanted attention, sexual or…

Administration such as Senator Stephenson must immediately send innocent children to the office for this ridiculous blue-coated “Dress-code Violation” attire and pressing suspension to those who wish not to humiliate and embarrass themselves throughout the school day. I say it is downright deliberate intent to embarrass every student in every way possible by their operation of throwing the “Blue Suit” upon us. But certainly, from here on out, Westlake High School Dress-code shall no longer be enforced. We, students of Westlake High School now consider ourselves free to wear as we wish. He has refused to pass other laws on how teachers shouldn’t loosely teach us students without the intent of us learning something, yet he’d rather enforce something less important in a school atmosphere; an interrupted right to wear what we solemnly desire to express ourselves.…
Many people argue about if the school should have the right to regulate the school dress code whether it be students or parents, but there is only one side to choose. To begin with one reason why they can regulate the dress code is because students can go to school with a distracting hair do. Another reason why they can regulate the dress code is because if they wear inappropriate clothing. The inappropriate clothing and the distracting hair do will affect the other students in many ways that is why the school has the right to regulate the dress code. So yes the school does have the right to regulate the dress code of the students.…
Dress codes and uniforms have impacted schools in a plethora of ways. They are being created at schools all over the world. Implementing these rules into schools cause many unnecessary problems. Dress codes and uniforms are ineffective because they do not make anything in schools better, such as school violence or grade improvement. Even though people have their own opinions, dress codes are not an appropriate thing.…
Ever since we started school we’ve had to deal with dress code. However, schools have different rules such as whether you have to wear uniforms or how short your skirts can be. My elementary school required us to wear uniforms and as the years went on the dress code got progressively stricter. When I moved on to high school it wasn’t much better. They would constantly send people to the office to get a change of clothes, but by doing this they also removed students from their classes, making them fall behind.…
According to the girl getting dressed coded in the article Do school dress codes end up body shaming girls, “The message her school is sending her, she said, is that she should cover up and be ashamed. If I show a little bit of my body, I’m considered a bad girl. Just because I’m wearing this doesn’t mean that I want people to look at me sexually. I want to be seen as a woman. I don’t want to have to feel bad about my body”…
Everyone has their own opinion on what attire is appropriate for school; some people may feel that some of the clothes that the girls wear is “too much”, but what exactly is too much? A majority would say that revealing shoulders and bra straps are inappropriate, but others would think differently. While some of the clothes people wear shouldn’t be worn in a learning environment, society shouldn’t be biased and make a fair dress code for both male and female students because it can make female women students ashamed of their bodies, which is degrading and makes them out to be sexual objects. With male students having the privilege to wear almost whatever they want, it makes females feel like they should cover up their bodies due to the fact that their bodies can distract boys from getting an education.(Since a females education isn’t as important). There has been many incidents where a female student would be taken out of class or sent home because her shoulders were showing or was wearing shorts on a hot day.…
The school dress code has been argued about for years. There are some that say yes, in fact there are 20% that say that the dress code is good and that it is needed. There are 80% that say that it is not good and it is not needed. Some of the reasons are for safety. The first reason is for hats, they are big enough to fit something that can harm someone under it.…
At least 58% of schools in the United States enforce a strict dress code. School dress codes and uniforms in private and public schools can be both helpful and harmful to students in relation to their learning and social skills. Implementing school dress codes has shown to increase concentration in the classroom due to the lack of extreme clothing or hair styles, less peer pressure since everyone has to wear the same clothes, and an increase in school safety. According to Don Woodard, a high school principal in Johnston county, The students’ “demeanor is better and there are fewer distractions because of teasing, or students being uncomfortable because of the apparel that others are wearing.” But they also say it's unconstitutional because schools are taking away students freedom of expression.…
