Refined Big Question
Why is there a school dress code and why do teachers feel they should control students appearance?
This raises some interesting issues, such as: 1) Do teachers and school administrators want to control students' appearance, or do they consider it a "necessary evil"; 2) Should the purpose of school have more to do with individual exploration or keeping order; and 3) Have dress codes and/or other policies made a positive difference? You don't really need to answer #1 (except to prevent research bias) but both #2 and #3 are worth pursuing.
This is a good question. The only answer I can think of is that some students dress to provocative and that distracts some people. You should include how the dress code in our school is not followed as an example.
Very good question! It'll probably even create controversy in the way that it is written but it's very true! Teachers should not control students appearances especially when most say to be ourselves.

ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Marisol. Good job
ReplyDeletehow did you come up with this question? have you seen this in school?
ReplyDeleteI was just curious about it since it seems to be a "big' deal at our school.
