Last week I had the opportunity to see a very interesting presentation about students’ rights. To me the most interesting thing was the debate on whether or not students have to wear school uniform.
In my opinion, students should be able to wear what they would like to wear. Students need to be comfortable and happy so that they may learn and enjoy their learning environment. However, I do acknowledge that some people choose to dress in ways which cross a reasonable boundary. For example, some girls will wear 2 inch miniskirts and try to pass them off as proper clothing. I also believe that shirts that say it’s cool to do drugs or shirts that have pornographic images on them should not be worn. However, alcohol and cigarette ad shirts aren’t as bad in my opinion because there are some nice looking t-shirts that advertise a type of liquor that are pretty cool looking.
Schools telling someone that they're not allowed to wear the clothing you wish to wear(with restrictions) is in violation of student’s rights. There are also instances in which a person attends a school which has no official dress code. Then, half way through the school year, that school chooses to enact and enforce a new official dress code which requires students to dress differently than they have been. In my opinion, that situation also violates the rights of students. But, I do NOT believe it violates a student's rights if that student registers for school and signs a document in which they acknowledge that they understand that they will be required to comply with an official dress code.
I think that school dress codes are unfair. You shouldn't be told what to wear if it’s your body. If the faculty has a problem with the way you dress tell them to go buy your clothes, Because most teens do buy their own clothes. If they bought them they should be able to wear them when they please.

ReplyDeleteI have a crosslight. We follow rules in our society, and our university also has rules for us. And most elementary and middle schools also have their rules for their students. Young students have their liberty, I know, but they also have responsibilities of their studies. Large students think that liberty means irresponsibility. They just insist their freedom, but aren't responsible about their duty as students. If they want to have the freedom, they also definitely recognize their duty. If they are responsible about their duty, and then they would be qualifiable to get the freedom. I mean to say, if they want to get the freedom, they should have an ability to control that.
