Harrise Aliance. ESC. Dress Code and School Uniform

It’s finally happening. Eight to ten years ago students in Middle school and High school used to send back home or send to detention for dress code violation. Dress code used to create all kind of problems in school; such as fight among students, tension between clicks, also used to reveal students culture, ethnicity and social status. Some students used to get teased or attacked by bullies by the way they dressed. Even teacher used to criticize some students by the way they dressed “NOT” on based on their comportment. I remember back when I was in high school, many young boys used to send to detention because their pants were way below their waistline, or coming to class in undershirt, and sometimes some sort of logo or gang’ s symbol. Starting a few years ago, many public schools in Florida started to enforce students on wearing school uniform. I think not only wearing uniform to school will reduce school violence, but also parents will save time, money and will not be wondering if this “outfit” is appropriate for school. Imagine a mother of four without a job need to go back to school shopping for her kidz, she will have to spend at least $500.00, that’s if she buys cheap clothes.  School uniform will cost her way less than that and she won’t have worry what’s and what’s not appropriate for school. There are some cities where students don’t wear uniforms to school; I hope it becomes mandatory that all students should wear uniform to school.
