Answer

I beleive that students don't listen to the rules anyway and that most places are currupt. because many students who talk and become friends with the proctors at my school they don't get dress coded where as others who arn't friends get dress coded for many stupid things. I believe we should be allowed to express ourselves through our clothes if we want to. Many students like to wear bandanas, hats, scarfs, white wife beaters, and more, where as at many highschools near me it is band because it is Gang related but in reality it really isn't. Were tired of being told what to do and wear and how to act, you can't control us we are people just like you let us be who we are.

Answer

I think that school are a violation of the students. You shouldn't be told what to wear if its your body. If the faculty has a problem with they 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.

Answer

no, read the civil rights and you will have the answer. if you are in a business that requires uniforms and you agree to it, then you accepted the job under those terms. same as a school with regulations. if your clothes are causing concern or attention because your skirt is too short, that is border line indecent exposure. if your t-shirt has suggestive things written on it, such as sexual, illegal activities-like marijuana leaves, etc. etc. etc. civil rights has to do with actions. you can talk but not use cursing. you have religion but don't sacrifice a person by killing them. so the rule of thumbs is- it not what you do, but how you do it.

Answer

In my opinion i think students should be able to be comfortable when they go to any school. Public or Privite. If i could pick if i could wear whatever to school it would be jeans, polo, birks, or Uggs. I would wear these clothes becase i am the most comfortable in them!!!!!!!

Answer

I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD LET PEOPLE WEAR WHAT THEY WHAT AND WEAR WHAT WITH THE CLOTHING THAT IS COMTABLE,.

Answer

students should be able to wear what they would like to wear. we need to be comfortable and happy so we can learn and enjoy our learning envirement. there is an extent where enough is enought though. such as girls in 2 inch mini skirts trying to pass them off as propper clothing. also shirts that say its cool to do drugs or have pornographic images on them should not be worn. alcohol and cigarette ad shirts arent as bad in my opinion because there are some nice looking tshirts that advertise a typeof liquer that my mom gets from work that are pretty cool looking. i just wish i could wear then to school without getting in trouble. but to answer the civil rights question. yes. dress codes do violate your civil rights. your right to free speech and expression is under the first amendment. schools telling you youre not allowed to wear the clothing you wish to wear(with restrictions) is in violation of these rights. there is also the fact that if you come into a school and there is no dress code then half way through tthe year they require you to wear them that is in violation of your rights. but if you register for school and you sign papers that say you will be required to wear a uniform that is not a violation.

Answer

No. If you decide to attend school there, you are saying you will abide by their rules, and dress codes are ment to improve the over all look of the school.

Answer

no.i think that children should abide by the school rules and wear the proper clothing the school principal instructs,although somethings are a little too strict like socks;color,length,ect;also things like hair;color, style;such as mowhawks,ect. it's your hair and you should not be told what to do with it or how you can or can't wear it:this is just my opinion and i am just a kid;i would like to be comfortable but i think that it would cause trouble if some kids wore designer clothing and others didn't it could lead to people getting picked on which isn't cool. And one other thing,i think,things like rub on tatoo's are not at all a big a deal i mean come on people we're talking about fake tatoo's here and that's just retarded that some schools are not allowing them.
