why do you think we have dress codes in school?

dress codes are just to keep students to wear thing that are apropiate. we may not care if someone shirt had swearing of somthing about sex on it but it not allowed in schools because they do not want expose these things to younger children.\n\nas for people who wear slutty clothes (hopefully only girls) the the dress codes prohibit you from wears these to protect you somehow.\n\nif you are talking about uniforms, they are used to identify students from stranger.

If we are talking about public schools, I don't believe a madatory uniform is right.\n\nFor private schools, it is acceptable.

Left over fashion trend from the 70s, when everything had wide stripes (and ties were wide and hair was big and clothing was tight).  We looked stupid then.  I don't know why teens want to look like we did.

I like it. That way you dont have to worry about what is appropriate and not. Everybody just dresses the same. It will save some money for "school clothes shopping"

Better find out if there's a dress code. Some places have them.

I think it would be good for all schools to have uniforms.  Everyone should have to dress the same,  think it would cut down on the bullying etc.  Also not everyone can afford expensive clothes etc  and to pardon the pun.....would create a level playing field.  Besides, I am sure that anyone that is a diva would be able to spice up their uniforms

A better question is "why do parents allow their children out of the house dressed that way?"  The parent is ultimately responsible for making sure their child is dressed properly.

Yes!  My daughter walks out of the door, properly dressed.  Skirt a decent length, tie properly done up.  Around the corner, down coems the tie and up goes the skirt.  When I ask why she tells me that the pressure on the kids is such that they're considered "uncool" to wear their uniform as it should be.  Trousers would actually free the girls from this pressure.  Also, never ever buy cheap skirts from supermarkets.  They're skimpy and make a statement.

To prepare children for life in the real world.Standards of education have declined to the point where kids don't have a fair chance in the outside world once the graduate, a dress code helps to a small degree by getting them used to rules of conduct expected in the working environment.

When my kids' school tried to force my kids into uniforms i went to my 1st school board meeting to argue against this stupid, counter-productive, and morally reprensible action.  Those of us on the anti-uniform side had several good (and a few I admit that weren't so good) reasons not to have uniforms.\n\nThe decision of what the uniforms look like can NEVER be universally agreed upon. The final decision well come down to  a very few people, who then put their ideas onto everyone else.  I understand this is necessary in curriculum and book purchases but not fashion choices.\n\nI believe we can all agree that teachers have more than enough to do during school time. Uniform checking is an extra load they just don't need. Don't let anybody try to say that checking a uniform takes no more time enforcing any other dress code.  I spent 8 years in the military. I know all about wearing a uniform.  Checking uniform compliance is a meticulous activity.  You can tell at a glance if the clothes someone is wearing are smelly, have dirty words printed on it or show too much skin.  Teachers need to forget about uniforms and concentrate on what they are there for; teaching our kids.\n\nIf everyone has to wear the same clothes in a public school then anyone who can't afford the uniform will have to be supported by school funds.  They already are for meals, supplies, book fees, etc. The schools are strapped to the hilt as it is now.  We don't need an added expense.  \n\nUniforms are just a band-aid answer to real problems in schools.  It's a way for lazy, ineffectual administrators to look like they're doing something, rather than actually addressing what plagues the schools.\n\nUniforms have absolutely no educational value whatsoever.  There is no credible, conceiveable way that everyone wearing the same clothes improves education.  Anything that doesn't aid education has no business in schools.\n\nThere were probably others but it's late and I'm too tired to think of them right now.

My kids high school had a huge discussion on this.\n1. we don't have gang problems\n2.we arent a parochial school.\n3. they aren't 5 yrs. old. As long as they are following the dress code, they should be able to express their style. \nAll too soon they hit the corporate world of suits and dresses. Let them be kids. We voted it OUT.

Uniforms are the answer. If everyone is wearing basically the same clothing it leaves little room for distraction in the classroom. I teach at a Parochial school where uniforms are required. when we have dress=down days (kids choose what to wear) they act totally different.\nUniforms are the answer!

Part of being in college is learning to be an adult and preparing for a professional career. Students will learn what is and isn't apprpriate on their own. A dress code takes away the chioce of students. Making good decisions is part of learning to be responsible. They will realize that the image they put forth matters when professors and employers show a lack of respect based on how they look.

Thesis Statement:Uniforms should not be required in schools because students will not able to express themselves with them.\n We have enough restrictions in our life already and will get more as we grow older. We should be able to have at least a bit of fun in life while we can.\nThat should give you some idea. Hope this helps:)

I think people wear underclothing to absorb the sweat and to protect their clothes from stains.  Underclothing also creates modesty as well.

I don't go to islamic school, but I've heard about them. Yes, they do wear uniforms. They are stricter than schools in the US. (In second grade, they have final exams).

last year, I went to a school with uniforms. I personally think It's better with uniforms because it does eliminate social class. It also helps us not be late in the morning because everyday you know what you are going to wear to school. In my new school there are no uniforms. I take almost half and hour more to decided what to wear increasing the chance of me being late. I personally think schools should switch to uniforms. It help with elimination of social class, gangs, and bullying because you can't tell where someone is from or if they are rich or poor.
