The dress code seems to be a big deal this year. Most students agree that they should get to wear what they want because school is about getting your education not how you dress.
“Do you think we should have a dress code?” I asked freshmen as they become familiar with the similar but different dress code.
“No, I don’t think we need a dress code no one likes them!” says a freshman!
I also asked a senior the same question!
“I think we shouldn’t because highschool is supposed to prepare us for college or how to get a job but not to focus on what you wear I suggest they be more lenient,” he says.
I would agree with both sides because principles would like for you to be presentable and well kept but students should also be able to dress comfortably and free but not inappropriate.
