Tuesday, October 7th

The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.


I agree with this article hands down. Teachers and administration have been telling us they would like to treat us as adults since the 6th grade. Why now do teachers this adults control what other "adults" wear to school?

I think that anyone should be able to make their own decisions and wear whatever clothing they would like. Also this issue brings up the fact that this is only directed at females. I think its a little sexist that guys don't have a dress code yet girls are stopped on the daily with comments and "violations" of the dress code.

Although I do agree that it wouldn't be appropriate for girls to dress like strippers when they go to school, I think they shouldn't be worried every day whether or not they get sent home because they show their shoulders. Male students are not going to change and drool over "Dat Shoulder" if a girl wears a slightly more revealing shirt.

High school is supposed to be a place to express yourself right? Then why control the female population.
