Dress Code in Schools

For thinking skills we wrote an essay on education, we have to choose on some questions and I chose dress code.

Anyone going to school now a days know that there is a dress code in the school. Even Though we can think this dress code is equal for most schools, we can find that economic level of the school may define the appearence of the students. It is very tidy to see all the students wearing the same clothes, but also quite opressive. When a big group of people wear the same clothes there are no difference between them, and this take the students out of reality because there will be always be a difference between you and the other person.

The advantages of a strict dress code are many, such as deleting difference so nobody can feel different in a group. To add a point a strict dress code prepares you for a business life where you will always have to wear a suit or formal clothes. However the most important fact of a dress code is to make people feel in a comfortable situation; sports, an important exam, a presentation, a job requirement.

On the other hand there are some disadvantages for dress code. Many times following a dress code is expensive, but also oppressive because you need money to buy it, and if you don’t have that money you will be out of the group. The clothes is a way of dividing society, we can appreciate the difference between public and private schools just by seen how they are dressed and this is very ugly because differences in society aren’t good in any way.

As a conclusion we can see that dress code is a defining fact in society, as people see you is how they treat you and this is a fact, at least for the first time of knowing a person. Dress code can be favorable sometimes but in general it’s oppressive and separates the society.
