Snapchat In Schools

At the Etobicoke School for the Arts, students have started to fight back. Many protests have been happening all over the Durham region, student have been breaking the dress code in large groups or missing classes to hold protesting signs up outside for the schools. It is interesting to see that both males and females can agree that the schools are using the dress to exploit and oppress women and are starting to fight back. Student Evette Reay was sent home for wearing something completely harmless. However, her teacher claimed that her dress was too short and because this was the third time Reay broke the dress code, she was suspended from school for three days.

Students struggle throughout high school and go through a great deal of stress. Whether it be making friends, or working hard to pass a difficult class. To make things more pressuring, they are not allowed to wear what they want. The administration made the decision that it is best to suspend a student for their choice in clothing. If they go against the rule of dress code, there will be serious consequences. What students wear should not affect their class work. If a student gets sent home for their outfit, it is affecting their grades and attendance. Punishment disrupts the students education more than what they are wearing. High school students should feel free to embrace their individuality without being pressured by dress codes; therefore, it should be eliminated from all schools indefinitely.

We have some concerns with the dress code. We think it should be updated. Girls are not allowed to wear athletic shorts anymore yet guys wear them everyday and people seem to not have a problem with that. We understand that we need limitations but it seems that like the dress code is mainly targeted towards girls. The dress code says that shorts need to be mid thigh but it doesn't state that we cannot wear athletic shorts at all. We understand that some athletic shorts are short for school but we don't think that it should be prohibited. The temperature is going up as the school year goes on, so girls are going to want to wear athletic shorts so we can be well situated in the school day and we could be more focused. Getting pulled out of class

An important issue in current society is whether there should be a dress code in schools. For example, there are many people that are for or against having uniforms in school. My opinion is that even when there are many reasons why people argue for dress codes or uniforms, they should not be implemented just because teachers feel that girls’ clothes are too distracting for boys. For example, a girl was sent home because her outfit was showing her collar bone.

What would you do about changing your school dress code? If it was up to me, I would change how long your shorts have to be to wear them. All schools should have some type of dress code, but not a strict one. I believe that the shorts you wear should not be so short to show something of yours, but they don’t need to be so long, that they look like capris.

As the temperature rises, so do hemlines and the suspension rate. Students get suspended for violating school dress codes by wearing outfits that ‘show too much skin.’ One can argue that revealing clothing is distracting, but some families and students agree that school dress code implementations end up just shaming girls. Dress codes, the epitome of high school, teach girls to act ashamed, not modest. According to most school boards that come up with the dress code, the outfits young women wear come across as too distracting for their peers, especially men, and make it unable for women to be viewed by the public with dignity and respect. Everyday, school dress codes target females—especially females that are more developed.

Dress code is teaching girls that’s it’s not okay to wear shorts or tank tops because “boys will be boys” and we need to cover up to create a distraction free learning environment for them. The blame is being forced upon the girls, saying that it is our fault for how boys perceive us. We need to teach male faculty and students to stop over-sexualizing a woman's body. These rules are degrading girls and making them feel bad about their bodies all because a boy can’t control himself in front of us. Why are we teaching boys that it’s okay to blame girls for their lack of self control? Dress code promotes rape culture and sexism, how could anyone think that that is

According to the young middle school student, Maggie Sunseri, States that "girls have little to do with clothing more to do with the underlying message behind the dress code that tells young women to cover up and young boys that cant "control" themselves." The 17 year old high school junior saiwhoat dress code is sexist

A recent study by Lands’ End found that the number of schools with dress codes increased by twenty one percent from 2000 to 2013. School dress code is a very controversial topic in today’s America. Weather they are against or for it; everyone has their own two cents to put in. Some schools force their students to wear uniforms; while others just say do not wear shorts. I think dress code should be more lenient for three main reasons: there in an inconsistency in rules about dress code, it promotes rape culture, and it promotes sexism in our youth.

School dress codes have been a prominent topic of discussion the past few years. Largely, young girls and some school board members are fighting against these sexist codes that govern schools across the world today. Dress codes target young women by stating they should dress appropriately so they do not distract the male students. This leads to men thinking it’s acceptable to disrespect women, and also women feeling like what they wear is more important than their academics. This results in a number of large issues such as gender inequality, stereotyping, and sexual harassment.

Today’s fashion trends, such as leggings, yoga pants, shorter skirts, booty shorts, form-fitting shirts, and spaghetti straps, have sparked controversy in schools. They have been banned from a great many. In my school, leggings, shorts, skirts, yoga pants, tank tops and off-the-shoulder tops were banned for girls. This

School Dress Codes: one of the most enforced school policies of all time for students of any age and gender. Of course, everyone has their opinion about what is too short or too long, what is too low or too high, and what is too tight or too loose; however, according to schools, middle school and high school girls are all “indecent”, or how the students put it, whorish. Because of this, there are very specific rules, right down to the T, about what girls can and cannot wear while on school grounds. As the handbook says, “Skirts, dresses, and shorts cannot be more than 2 ¼ inches above the knee.” Oh, and to make you moan and groan even more, “The inseam of your shorts has to be, at the very least, 4 inches long.” So they are trying to tell me and the rest of the student body that we can only wear long shorts? Is it just me, or does that bulls*** sound like an oxymoron? Wouldn’t long shorts be… what do you call them? Oh… pants?

This year Cardinal Ritter Junior High has made a rule where students can not wear shorts after the first quarter of school. Wearing school shorts should be allowed, It gives us the freedom of choice to be comfortable in what we want to wear and also we shouldn’t buy a piece of clothing that we can’t wear half of the school year. The highschoolers of Cardinal Ritter High School have the choice to wear shorts whenever they want, which is completely unfair.

Pants below waist, baggy shirts with sexist signs, and piercings, this is not a good view early in the morning. That’s why the school should implement a uniform policy. Uniforms should be mandatory in school. Uniforms make the school appear more professional. Also with uniforms students won’t compare themselves with each other. Moreover uniforms can help students save time. Additionally parents won’t have to waste so much money on clothes hence will have a better budget.

Students decided that it was time to take an action towards the dress code starting November. As one student indicated “All we want is to be ourselves and not someone that the school wants us to be, if we do not have the right to wear clothes we want than we will just break the rules”. All the students are trying to say is that clothes is a big part of who they are, and how they want to show it should be up to them not the school boards. By doing this protest students feel that they could make a difference and soon the school boards will start to see their point of view. Students started this protest on the first week of November and say they will keep it going even if it takes a whole year to get the board to allow a change in the dress code.
