Improve the Dress Code Code
Code
“Ugh! Mom I have nothing to wear!” “You have tons of cute clothes in your closet, wear it.” “But mom its not in dress code.” That is how many girls mornings are, having nothing to wear that is in dress code. I have many reasons why the dress code should be improved, but here are only three reasons.
First of all, we can't show creativity. Numerous students show how creative they are through their outfits everyday. But some students are goth, casual, sporty, girlie-girl, nerdy, or tom-boy. Some kids want to dye their hair different colored hair, but they can’t. The teachers tell us to be unique, but they won’t let us. The dress code is too boring and original.
Secondly, it cost less for parents to shop out of dress code because some girls have really long arms, so we can't wear regular shorts. Some girls have short arms, so they can wear short shorts, so they are easy to shop for. If 4 inches above the knee was for everybody it would be easier and cheaper to shop for. Stores don't have many in dress code clothes that is inexpensive, including jeggings. We have to wear jeggings, even though they are more expensive, we can't wear leggings.
Reason three, we have to wear the same outfits again and again. The same outfits get boring. If we have only a few pieces of clothes in the dress code, that goes back to reason two you have to buy more things. You also can't be unique, because you don't have that much dress code clothes.
Furthermore, what the opponent could come back at me for reason one is some students creativity is distracting and we don’t want distractions while the kids should be learning. The comeback for reason two would be, if you go to an inexpensive store like Dollar-General or Bealls clothes won’t be so expensive. Last but not least the comeback for reason three is, it is less expensive and you were just complaining how expensive clothes are. So in conclusion the reason we have a dress code is so that we don't want distractions, we want the kids to dress appropriately, and we want them to learn to follow rules.
Moreover, in my defence what my opponent just said is wrong and here are some more reasons why I think they are wrong. Some girls who have long arms can't really wear short sport shorts but all the other girls who have short arms can wear those kind of shorts. Another thing that is dumb is that we can't have any holes, patches, or fringe on our shorts or pants. One last thing is if we want to wear leggings we have to wear a fingertip dress or shirt.
In conclusion, the dress code needs to be improved a lot. We can't be unique and for the parents sake it's cheaper to shop for clothing out the dress code rules. Students have to wear things over and over again. This dress code is not fair and needs to be changed!
