While schools provide rules on clothing, many students disagree claiming it isn’t fair. Worldwide, many students have argued against their school’s dress codes, some even went so far as protesting as well. Many say it’s reasonable, the other portion claims it’s sexist and isn’t fair. “They're reasonable sometimes, good for some things. However, a little strict.” Madison Johnson, a student attending Hillgrove High School stated. She added. “Schools should stop adding unnecessary rules though, where it's unreasonable.” “People get dress coded for the smallest and stupidest reasons.” Asia Gambrell added, another student attending Hillgrove High School.
While many can agree with her, others say differently. Another student claims there is nothing wrong with the rules, Micah Kelly claims, “Dress codes are there to keep a good reputation and to not look trashy in a professional space.” Another student, Asia Gambrell included “School would most likely be a mess if it weren't for dress codes, students would dress in whatever.” “Students are upset with the dress code for their benefit. They don’t want someone, or something controlling what they wear.” He finished.
