Dobyns Bennett dress code

[imported_mega]

I get what your saying lpd, but at the same time, i think its taking away from the creativity and uniqueness of a kid. When your talking about a corporate job, your talking about adults, you gotta realize these people are still kids, not to mention after they graduate, they will go to college and wear whatever they want to wear there. Im not here to argue with you or anything, i understand where alot of people are coming from supporting this, because kids tend to take things to the extreme, but at the same time, theres alot of kids that dont and now they are being punished too. I just feel you should be able to display your uniqueness, afterall, the way a person dresses displays their social consciouness in many ways.

I understand both arguements...but I disagree with the uniqueness part. A lot of clothes are the latest that is being worn so many of the kids are wearing them.

Do not have a child but i can see both arguements.
Biggest question is what is consider to improper?

If I had to do this in high school, my family would be broke. Everything I own is either Maryland, UT, Redskins, Reds, or PV. I dont think I have any plain shirts. As for the dress code its way to restrictive imo, more of our liberties being taken away. If it doesn't have any drugs, sex, or vulgarites on it then why is it taken away? To the people that approve of this, were you restricted to this when you were in school? I'd guess not.

Id just transfer schools.
That dress code wont last, watch and see.

my thinking exactly, theyll enforce it pretty strict the first couple of weeks...but into the school year theyll be pretty lax with it and pretty soon itll get back to the way it was

It's like everything guys. Most enforce a lot and it eases off. Well until someone says something. Heck here in our little area. I've heard of girls taking other girls to the principal over the way they dress. And yes Wise County schools do have a dress code.
Some will use anything to cause problems.
But basically it's wear what you want. And most families can't afford Aeropostle and other name brand clothing.
And as mega said you have to let kids be kids, but also i've seen some rather, well tasteless things, that makes you wonder if mom and dad know what these kids are wearing. That includes boys and girls. And i've seen a few things on shirts that i felt was inappropriate. But that is just me.
Only thing i see is what happens when these people enter the job market. And their not use to dressing. And esp. those who don't go to college, but straight into the job market.
A lot of college professors don't mind to tell you. That is no way to dress. They don't care and they dont' have to take it. And some will tell you that. Their class you want to attend you dress right for it. If not find another class, or another professor.

Proper dress codes are needed in society. In school, work, and play. I see young women (girls, actually) in school each day exposing more skin that needed. I see young men (boys) spend more time thinking about the girls belly rings than their school work. It's very distracting in school. I see nothing wrong with sweats, t-shirts (any logo is fine as long as it doesn't promote drugs, sex or harm), shirt tails worn out (as long as the body is covered) and no one has to look at anyone's under garments. Parent's should be the first one responsible for the needed change.

Actually, I think that Wise County could use a similar dress code. When I was in high school, if a young man's hair touched his collar, then he was suspended until he got it cut. But I also see a sticky point with it also. What about the kids that don't have the money to buy clothes that conform to the code. Has anyone thought about that?
