Our declaration is about the dress code on school campus. This logic is very deliberate when a student is dress coded when a staff sees a rip on the student's jeans. My reasons for this to get through and win an argumentative moment would be because the staff on our campus over reacts to a rip or few on them. It'd be understandable if they have a major cut or in an appropriate place or have the public see something they find disrespectful. What I want to mention is that if no skin is being shown there shouldn't be a problem, neither if we don't show too much skin. Not only about the jeans but shirts and length. By shirts i mean, no shoulders showing or the strap being too thin. That one is understandable to us girls. As the weather gets warmer every spring, more and more girls and boys around the world raise their voices against the policing of girls bodies. …show more content…
There are plenty of girls wearing shorts above their hands. Our campus permits you to wear anything under your hands aside of you and passes your- . We are now allowed to wear ripped jeans UNLESS the laceration are under your knee. Fashion stores mostly sell jeans with rips on our thighs than under the knee if its not under then on the knee. Shirts are most likely going to be off the shoulder and show our shoulders and i don’t think we should get in trouble for showing either one Complaints I have to support this discussion would be a couple staff members i've talked to about this, of course the students on this campus and the parents. My complain will be against the administration and staff here. A complaint i’ve heard before was a friend of mine got dress coded and was sent to class late with a slip because she had ripped jeans, but the cut did not show skin and that story was mentioned in class and teacher was disagreeing with that. She thought it was
Life is full of distractions and, for high school students, inappropriate clothing has the potential to grab much attention. However, does the matter of clothing warrant strict rules? I agree that, like alcohol, the students’ attire should have rules regarding whether or not the choices in clothing are suitable for a public school setting. I also agree that violators of school rules should receive punishment for their lack of compliance to the school policies. However, there is a fine line. Some schools, like Carroll High School, are taking dress codes too far. One rule in particular hinders the students’ ability to wear pants with holes in them. It makes sense that holes located in certain places might cause a...
...oday there are increasingly fewer attacks on the student body regarding their clothing, undoubtedly to prevent upsetting more parents. We can see in Source F that this pressure to look a certain way never really ends, and this is true for both men and women. Although this pressure to have a perfect appearance doesn’t stop after high school, the Bedford North Lawrence Community Schools should be understanding and more lenient on some of the less scandalous clothing choices to make students feel comfortable and give them a realistic feel for how people dress and behave in public. In the end, everyone’s body is their own personal business and should not be dictated by another person or shamed for how it is presented, however BNL behaved the exact opposite of this at the beginning of the school year, making the way the administration handled the situation inappropriate.
Dress code enforces the modest dress of students, preventing bullying and distractions.Numerous people believe clothing is a distraction and when eliminated the school environment is more professional and gives a better education to a student. Authority figures consider the school apparel enforcements are constitutionally sound, not affecting the child’s right to freely express, and providing a professional and working setting causing a better learning environment and decreased amount of bullying due to clear differences in appearance. However, opposers disagree with the restrictive code because of its limitations on individuality
I was in trouble for breaking dress code because of a pair of jeans I wore. My jeans had a miniscule hole that was barely noticeable; however, a substitute teacher noticed and told me to cover the hole that was in my jeans and told me that if I did not then I would be sent to the office where they would deal with punishing me. I did as I was told, but I felt it was unfair that I was the only one punished for this incident when there were several other violations that other students did not receive punishment for. However, I was not the only one with holes in my jeans a male student had holes in his pants that were large and he did not receive punishment for his clothing choice. The reason being because he was a male student and was also well known by many and they overlooked his violation. There was also a male student who wore an inappropriate shirt to school who was not punished for his clothing choice when I was putting tape over the miniscule sized hole I had in my jeans that the substitute teacher punished me for. This was an unfair enforcement and punishment of dress code violations that should not have occurred. Schools should have the same rules when enforcing dress codes for students to
Bates, Laura. "How School Dress Codes Shame Girls and Perpetuate Rape Culture." Time. Time, 22 May 2015. Web. 18 Feb. 2016. In this article, Bates argues that today’s school dress codes are sexist and leave a lasting impression on young girls. Bates explains that there are several cases where girls are being punished for their adolescent bodies being distractions to boys. Also, it can teach a young girl that her body is dangerous and that a young boy automatically has the right to sexually diminish and harass adolescent girls in schools. This thought process is what causes a stigma later in college, declaring that when someone is sexually assaulted on campus, the person was asking for it. This can be detrimental to a young girl, and can even
... Bare midriffs, or bare backs Tights, leggings, bike shorts, swim suits or pajamas as outerwear Visible piercings, Dog collars, tongue rings studs, wallet chains, large hair clips, or chains that connect from one part of the body to another. So to avoid this in my opinion I think all students should wear the uniform because it help prevent gangs from forming on campus , Encourage discipline , help students resist peer pressure to buy trendy clothes , help identify intruders in the school , diminish economic and social barriers between students and increase a sense of belonging and school pride and Improve attendance. So people should come together to make school a more focused on school and work place and not letting students get distracted by other things such as what they’ll wear that day or what will they say if I wear this by making school uniforms mandatory.
Heald dress code policy is professional attire as the students all know. The dress code can be very hard at times to obey by for some students. Students can also say it is unreasonable for such structure in an a college atmosphere.With this being said , Heald College should make a compromise with the students by changing some of the rules to better suit students life styles and needs. A change for the dress code would greatly improve some of its student’s lives. If there is no change made to the student dress code, than the school must enforce every rule of the dress conduct to every student and staff member.
We’ve all seen it, do not lie. Boys and girls alike, making sexist jokes in the hallway and laughing like it’s funny. Seeing boys objectifying girls, and vice versa, as if it is not an action that is humiliating and ridiculous. Young and impressionable, we have been taught from a young age to fight each other and bully each other with a simple saying: “Girls rule, boys drool! Boys rule, girls drool!” Regrettably, the idea is displayed on T-shirts at Target and Justice, and it’s tearing schools apart. This mindset of the superior sex is a horrible misconception of the world, implanted by ignorant adults to make ignorant children. And the most prominent ignorant rule in schools yet: dress code and uniforms. Innocently, people believe it’s a
The common arguments for the dress code includes telling girls that they are “distractions”. This only pushes the idea that their comfortability is nothing compared to the possibility of a guy drooling over an exposed shoulder. This also gives the idea that girls have to be the ones to stop boys from making bad choices and within itself promotes victim blaming and rape culture. (Rape culture and victim blaming is what makes it the girl’s fault if she is harassed in any way.) We should not be treating teenaged girls as sexual objects or teaching them that their bodies are supposed to be ashamed of.
Both Male and Females have complained that the dress code is “sexist and “biased” toward young women. One teenager said that the school should be an all-boys school. Since the code only applies to women. Another student said that “it was humiliating to be pulled aside like an object” to be told that her outfit is inappropriate.
The first dress code rule that should be changed is fingertip length shorts. I know the reason for this is so that boys won't be “distracted”, but instead of telling girls what they can't wear, we need to teach boys to not be perverts. Also some boys wouldn't even notice the shorts if the teachers, and staff wouldn't make such a big deal about it. I know some shorts can be
Every year parents, students and teachers argue about the issue of applying school uniform, and if it is going to be put into effect or not. Each year, school dress code is being pushed away. Year after year, to help stop violent behavior and encourage order in schools, dress codes are applied. Does the fact of students having to wear a certain dress code reduce the violent behavior and encourage order in schools? (“The Controversial School Uniforms and School Dress Code Debate”, 2008). Research shows, that dress code policies may increase the chance of a child safety in school by a very low percentage, but that still affects the child in a positive way (“Do uniforms make schools better?”, 2004).
Dress Code violations is a small social issue at our school and the solution to this
Every morning I wake up and choose what I will wear that day. Out of the many things in the world that I have no control over, the clothes I wear are my choice. The clothes I wear show who I am, how I am feeling, and the message I mean to deliver. My clothing choice is part of who I am and if that means jeans with holes in them or a racer back top, then that is my choice to make. I feel that the school dress code is unfair with this. I have been told my shorts are too short, my tank top isn’t two fingers wide at the straps and more. Now I’m not saying that no dress code should be applied, but I at least think that banning racer back tops, jeans with holes in them, anything above fingertip length for shorts and skirts, strapless tops, and tank tops is a bit ridiculous. So what if I wear a tank top? Oh no I’ve shown the world my shoulder the world is also ending. Most girls in the
The final reason, and possibly the most important of the three to change the dress code is that by telling a students that they have to change, a teacher or administrator is putting the value of the other students’ education above the dress code offender. Most often, the reason a student’s are told to change because their outfits are too distracting. a pair of shorts isn’t harming anyone, nor is it offensive. Are shoulders and legs so arousing that it completely stops anybody from being able to focus at all? Then, what will the suspect think? He or she can’t wear what she wants to because the education of the male students in her class is more important? It puts a student in a very tough spot because they are forced to make the decision between wearing what they want or wearing something that takes who they are away from
