what's with the dress code?
I've realized that more than half of the student body at school doesn't even come to school in dress code each day. I'm not gonna lie, dress code at school sucks, and a handful of people always have to rebel and alter it in some way, shape, or form possible. I'm not even joking. Have you not seen the students who walk to and from classes in their attire? Shrugs, leggings, spaghetti straps, and non-approved polo shirts. It's actually quite frustrating; Not because people aren't in dress code (I could really care less), but because the deans and teachers complain about it 24/7, but do absolutely nothing about it. Even though we have a dress code, people NEVER follow it. It's not exactly what I call "fair" for the people who are always in dress code and abide by the rules the school sets for us. I don't mean to sound harsh, but violators should receive consequences, or be given demerits to. But, it doesn't matter for the seniors, really. Most of the seniors could say for themselves that they don't even care about whether they're in dress code or not. Second semester senior year. All the college apps are in and being reviewed. It doesn't matter. So when and if they do get into trouble, they can just get the demerits taken off with secret connections. Whoever decided to make up a dress code for our school needs to take a new and improved action on this situation because it doesn't seem like this new change is doing anything positive for the "educational" environment (or whatever the reason was for creating a dress code in the first place). There are so many teachers who always complain about the students who dress obscenely, but what do they do about it? Absolutely nothing. So why even come up with a dress code if it's not following through and being enforced? Why is it that only the high school students have to follow a dress code when the middle school students dress pretty much the same? (Which is why the A.D. created the new rule anyway.) Someone should do something to change this current situation, or otherwise stop complaining about it.

Okay, I'm going to start carrying those slips:)
i admit that recently, i have been out of dress code at least once or twice a week, and i know that i should really be in dress code, but i do still try to keep covered up as much as i would be if i were wearing the uniform. the deans and teachers really should enforce it more to make it fair to those who spend lots of money on the uniform clothes that they don't want to wear, however, i do think that since the uniform/dresscode policy has been in effect the campus is much more decent. I remember before girls used to come to school in skin tight jeans and spaghetti straps, showing about 4-5 inches of midrift and a lot of cleavage, which is not the case anymore. although the uniform thing doesn't always work as it should, it still is effective as a way to "desexualize" (haha) the campus
