Teachers should take action for inappropriate school attire

Girls that walk around in clothes that you would normally party in and boys whose pants are on the ground with a matching T-shirt with vulgar writing on it, is what I see at the school daily. The administration and teachers do not enforce the dress code strictly enough.

Everyone in the school should be able to express him or herself in an appropriate and less revealing way. It is very disrespectful to walk around in a shirt that does not cover up enough skin, especially in school.

It’s a distraction when a student chooses to wear something too revealing. School is for learning, not for deciding who is better looking and in what.

I understand that there are certain styles that are in and are really cute but when it comes to what you wear in school I think there should be a boundary that determines what is  “too revealing.”

If you can see your midriff, bra straps or panties, what you are wearing is way to showy and not appropriate for school.

There are a lot of students in this school, most of who are usually out of dress code.

I feel that if all the teachers, administration and any adult on campus were to be consistent when reminding their students about dress code sooner or later there would be differences in the way students decide to express their selves in their clothing.

It’s a little bit disturbing to see students choosing to wear only short shorts and a spaghetti strap to school, and then not having teachers or an administrator letting them know that they are out of dress code and forcing them to change.

If you wouldn’t wear it to church or work why would you wear it at school?

“Most teachers at this school don’t enforce it because the administration doesn’t,” physics teacher Ann Baker said. “Why should we put up the fight?”

“If it is a dress or an item of clothing I remind them about the dress code, but I don’t take a huge force of action towards it.” English teacher Christine Forbus said.

If all the administration and teachers are consistent with reminding students about dress code, things will change and more and more teachers will start enforcing it too.

“The faculty does not pay enough attention to the students when it comes to dress code,” sophomore Erika Senger said. “Why should we care if no one else does?

We should see more young men and women being more accommodating in the choice of clothing they make rather than having to look at students in inappropriate clothing.

The first step is for administration to be harder on dress code and the rest would be sure to follow.
