Should Dress Codes be Enforced?

Should Dress Codes be Enforced?

If you ask me, one of the best parts of virtual school is the fact that we have no dress code! I’m new to homeschool and virtual school, I came here just for the semester, and I’ll soon be faced with the laws of dress code. Honestly, I think sometimes dress code is really unfair. At my old school you could get an ISS for wearing the following:

  • A sheer shirt. If you have a tank top that is two fingers wide, you will get sent to ISS
  • Pants that are even just shy of your fingertips.
  • Any sort of unnatural hair color. If you are a blond and dye your hair brown, they would check your records and if your hair color isn’t your natural, you would get in serious trouble.
  • No holes in any of your clothing. Not even a teeny tiny hole in your shirt, right at the hem,!
  • Dirty shoes
  • Hole-y shoes
  • Extreme makeup. No bright eye shadows or anything. (I got away with this one for years!)
  • Bright neon clothing.
  • Hats. (I actually got away with this rule all of last semester. I wore a black beanie EVERY DAY)
  • Sunglasses. Even if your glasses were tinted you could get in trouble.
  • Duct tape. Some girls would come to school with duct tape handbags or bows and they would get confiscated.
  • Anything else that is a “Distraction.” A teacher could put you in ISS for anything!!!

Like I said, I don’t think dress codes, or school uniforms are fair, but do you guys?  Are you for or against school uniforms? Comment below!
