The dress code in the handbook was distributed at a poor time, vague, and confusing. Source A is the only written guide provided to the students of BNL upon arrival to first period class at the beginning of the school year. If the administration truly wanted to see the code strictly followed they would hand this code out before the first day of school, as most students have already done their back- to-school clothes shopping prior to the first day, with little or no knowledge of the upcoming rules for the year. While the students are receiving the rules late, parts of Source A make sense in regard to safety such as: no sharp jewelry, no “wheelie shoes,” and no clothing advertising alcohol or drugs. These rules seem to be genuinely looking out for student’s health and best interest, however many rules are simply incomprehensible such as leaving the “back inappropriately bare.” How a slab of skin housing your spine can be sexualized is unknown to me. While there are more examples of specific clothing restrictions that I don’t agree with, and could easily rant about for hours, what ca...

"Dress Code!" MasterFILE Complete. Educational Leadership, Dec.-Jan. 2014-2015. Web. 18 Feb. 2016. This article comes from the point of view of a school principal Thomas R. Hoerr. Hoerr starts of with a comment that was made to him about a young girl and what she was wearing. The comment referred to her undergarments. The author continues to explain the two points he learned, and because of those points, he made his school a casual place. The dress code he established only proclaims to be “neat and clean.” The author saw no problem until the attire came so close as to be dressing at the beach, so he conducted a meeting with his staff and decided something should be said. When the author wrote the work dress guidelines, he got the input of the teachers and what should be expected by each guideline. However, the author only sent out the draft to people who had worked with him for fifteen or more years, so the question arose that the world is changing and he needed opinions from younger teachers. When he received feedback, he was questioned on if some codes really made a difference, and he made some changes. Next Hoerr tells his readers that when they give a restriction on something, they must have a rational reason why. Hoerr’s reason was that the school staff needed to have a professional experience, which make since because some students might not take their teacher seriously if he or she is dressed for bed.

A school like Silliman University is an educational environment but still has an adult sense of being. No one should be told what to wear once in an environment of adults or anywhere everyone has a stand out point in their style of clothing. College students are considered adults and should at least have the respect of coming as they are and not a robot that is controlled by a remote. Since college students are considered to be adults, then they should have the privilege of dressing according to their desire. A dress code should not be enforced on the campus because the absence of a uniform does not inhibit the student from learning and understanding the subject at hand.

Parents and their children are constantly arguing about the way students dress in school. This debate has become a national conversation which has been going on for more than a decade. However, there still hasn’t been a final resolution. The questions “Why do I have to wear the uniform today?” or “Can I wear this t-shirt because the color matches with my school t-shirt?” have become part of our everyday lives. Before we go any further, we have to understand the difference between uniforms and dress codes. A uniform is simply a garment worn that is the same in all cases and at all times. Whereas, a dress code is a set of rules regarding the required manner of clothing in a certain context. For instance, a school might not allow students to wear
America’s school systems seem to have many issues concerning students receiving a quality education without distraction.

1 out of 5 schools had a uniform policy or dress code, were writing one, or had it up for consideration. School need a uniform policy or dress code to keep students safe.

Requiring students to conform to a dress code is beneficial to the school experience because it gives students a better self esteem, helps administrators identify non-students, and reduces conflict.

For a while, dress codes have been implemented in private and parochial schools across the county. It wasn't until more recent that the issue was brought to discussion about a dress code in public schools. Uniforms serve a purpose to the schools that are adapting the change in attire.

Uniforms would be beneficial to the public school system because a lot of what the public school system is known for would be stopped because of the newly executed dress code.

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
