Brooklyn,
the topic of school uniforms and dress codes is a very big, though its not one that is talked about a great deal. I think it should be talked about more because of how little it is talked about. I also can see the sexist points as it makes no sense for a girl to have to wear a skirt/dress to look good, when pants are functional and they can look good. I found an article that talks about the good and the bad of the dress code, https://www.tweentribune.com/article/teen/dress-codes-good-thing-or-bad-thing/. Thank you for sharing this and I hope to read more from you in the future.

Brooklyn,
We should be able to have the right to express ourselves and School systems are making it difficult for us to show affection to each other. Without support we will continue to be curl when one is trying to bring on a change. I really appreciate you making this post to inform everyone about this.

Brooklyn,

Thank you for sharing this post I found it very intriguing. This is something that is very easy to relate to because of hour hair and dress code policies. I think administrations at schools should give students a voice to allow them to express the feelings and emotions they have towards a subject in the hand book. I know a student at our school, Judge Memorial, overturned a hair rule due to his ethnic culture. The story about the girl supporting her friend is a great example of caring for another human. I feel that is the students choice and should be allowed as it supports a great cause to a dear friend. Do you think that rules at our school will change due to more students standing up for rules in the handbook?

Brooklyn,
This is a very great post although it is a very hard topic to fight. The federal government only has say on what public schools are doing not private schools. In an instance of that happening at Judge the Supreme Court could not do anything to over rule their dress code rules since its a right of the private schools to be allowed to make their own dress code. I am in favor of your argument that dress codes need to be loosened although it is very hard to tackle that since it would only be for public schools and the majority of public schools have very loose dress codes.

Hey Brooklyn! This is a debate that has been raging since before we were even born and honestly? It drives me nuts. Back when my grandmother went to school, her public school (without a uniform of any sort) wouldn’t even let girls wear pants. It’s interesting how school rules on dress and expression change with the times. I think that the amount of sexism in most school dress codes is ridiculous, many having strict rules against girls’ bra straps showing but nothing on guys not wearing shirts. The example you used about the girl supporting her friend who had cancer is just another in long list of strange and unusual rules, typically ones that have no real reasoning behind them. I can’t wait to see where you go with this!
