Dress codes decrease school violence and improve learning. It is necessary for schools to provide a secure and obedient surrounding for students to learn. American values are an important part of unblemished rights and privileges as a citizen. With violence becoming more prominent in our schools, uniforms have become a direct and constructive reducer of mental or moral training problems.…
Having a dress code doesn't just restrict students from wearing what they want; it restricts them from the way they show their individuality. "By telling us what we can wear, they are taking away our diversity as people and cultures," says Michael Bowies, a junior at Stamford High (Pardon my do-rag). People often show their…
The biggest argument for the average teenager, besides how disgusting the school lunch is, is how schools have adopted strict dress codes, and for some, even uniforms. Most schools in American have dress codes or uniforms to prevent gang violence, bullying, and to show students a proper way to dress, which is understandable for school that have serious problems with these. But unfortunately, no teenager wants to be told what he or she can or cannot wear when they are still trying to discover themselves. Luckily Southwood has not gone as far as uniforms, but it recently changed its dress code and has become stricter about it also, which is driving its students crazy. Southwood’s school dress code has gone from the simple “pull your pants up,” to only holes below the knees, to no holes at all, to “teachers please check for dress code issues,” to “no bracelets with double meaning.”…
Useless.School dress code is useless,we don't need it ,it's just the school that really thinks we do.I did not really have a problem with the dress code in elementary school because…
Dress code is a necessary educational tool that helps students recognize differences between working situations and social through clothing and administering positive apparel choices.The biggest reason why Dress Code has still been a school policy even though many students protest it is because it shows positive results and it should be practiced in all school in a day to day basis allowing students to be well informed when choosing their apparel , so everyone should follow it to reinforce the positive teaching schools have brought to…
Should their be dress code at Your school? Many students get dress coded because either their stomach is showing or their shorts are too short. If you get dress coded you have to wear something baggy and ugly that you don't like at all.…
Are they too tight, or are they too short? Some parents and students have these concerns about dress codes at local schools. School dress codes appear to be hinderers of self-expression. Other may believe they are also necessary for school environments. I believe that it would be beneficial for our schools to adopt dress codes. Although others may argue that this action would restrict the student’s freedom of self-expression, I do not agree. The dress codes prepare students for their futures, lower bullying, and don't cause distractions in the school environment.…
Since the days of the Puritans, laws and rules have been made concerning what is moral, or safe and best for society. Although dress codes are increasing in popularity throughout the United States, educators do not uniformly agree upon the benefits produced by these regulations (king, 1998). There is no certainty that dress codes reduce school violence or improve academic achievement. Furthermore, strict dress codes, which school officials justify because they are aimed at preventing gang violence, have been adopted in several areas that do not have gang problems, undermining some school official's justifications (Wilson, 1998).…
Others might say that dress codes are put in place for a reason and to promote professional work ethic including the “no revealing clothes” policy. This kind of view can be seen a lot in older viewpoints as an article from 2005 about the dress code policies in school states “Most school dress codes seek to bar only the most problematic images and words, but some schools try a total ban on images and words on any article of clothing. As it turns out, the stricter a dress code, the better its chances of survival. Claims of discrimination against a viewpoint or group by the school are much more difficult to make in such cases.” (Robson) which is arguably incredibly incorrect as a comprehensive and less restrictive dress code would allow people to focus on their school work and less about whether their clothes are dress code are…
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…
There shouldn’t be a strict dress code because without having to choose what we want to wear, we are not given the freedom of expression. Without our expression we can’t show how we feel. “Shopping and spending behaviors often come from internal motivations such as emotions, experiences and culture,” says Dr. Baumgartner. “You look at shopping or storing behaviors, even putting together outfits, and people think of it as fluff. But any behavior is rooted in something deeper. I look at the deeper meaning of choices, just like I would in therapy.”(Dr. Baumgartner, 2012). Dress codes force students into a cookie-cutter look, one that some students may find uncomfortable or not right for their bodies, potentially leading to a negative self-image.…
Should students be required to wear a dress code if the school enforces one? Many schools around the country enforce strict dress code policies to decrease distraction from the learning environment and prepare students for the reality of having a dress code in a job. Most states have set up laws to allow the school board to set the dress code and its limitations, as long as it does not invade the student’s constitutional rights.…
I think that it is beneficial to have dress codes at all schools. Although many kids and even adults are against dress codes, I do not agree. Some people think that dress codes take away kids freedom. Dress codes don’t only look professional but they will let kids have better futures.…
Many people say that uniforms or strict dress codes help develop the discipline of the student. This could not be further from the truth. School uniforms only create more rules for a student to follow, taking away from the primary function of school: education. School is about education, social and academic, and uniforms or strict dress codes do not encourage a learning…
several reasons. For example, it prevents gangs, violence, theft, peer pressure, concentrate on their own work. Dress codes or uniforms can make the schools safer. Wearing a school uniform can decrease the amount of risk of violence and help the school officials recognize intruders who come to the school. These dress codes will increase punctuality among students, and peers. They have there rights to wear what they want but not to wear anything that shows anything that shouldn’t be showing. There allowed to wear whatever they want as long as it is appropriate.…
