Ding! Ding! It’s time for school but what to wear. I've been looking in my closet all morning. But, because of the school's dress code I do not have anything to wear. You want to know why? Well here's three reasons why we shouldn't have such a strict dress code.
One thing about the dress code is that we can't wear shorts to school if we have long arms. We cannot help the size of our arms and legs. In my opinion it should be 4” above the knee for everybody. You should not be judged because of your body size or height.
Another reason is that we can't buy clothes for school from most stores nearby. For girls it is hard to find jeans that aren't already pre ripped. They also have a lot of pants that are stretchy. It's not our fault that it's in the style. We also can’t wear shorts because they are too short. The only clothes you can find to wear to school are overly priced.
The last reason is that you can’t express who you are. If everyone wears the same thing all the time wouldn’t it get a little boring? I mean can we even trust that we know our own friends if they have been put back from wearing what they love. On the other hand, people who are against changing the dress code would think that you do not need to express yourself through your clothes. They would think that it’s in your academics. But, in my opinion you do need to express who you are through your clothes. I believe that this is a major thing that tells who you really are.
So, In conclusion I believe that dress code should change. And not be so centered around girls. I would like it if no one was judged by their body type, treated wrong, or not letting people know who you really are. Well that's my opinion. What's yours?

Fast Facts
Dress code threatens students' free expression rights. They also argue that dress codes, and especially uniforms, could discourage individuality and critical thinking. As one commentator put it, "uniform policies too broadly sweep students' First Amendment rights and, therefore, cannot withstand constitutional scrutiny . . . "
