Should school drees is to be compulsory?

Answer 1

There are pros and cons to that question. Some people think a dress code or uniform should be compulsory; others think there should be no dress codes in schools; still others think there should be a few guidelines to govern school clothing.

On the pro side: Students are freed from having to decide what to wear every day if they wear a uniform to school. It is less embarrassing for poorer kids who do not have a large wardrobe if everyone is dressed the same every day. In addition, it is thought that kids may pay more attention to their schoolwork when clothing competition is taken out of the situation.

On the con side: Students should be able to express their personalities through their clothing. Students feel more comfortable in clothing they have chosen for themselves. In a free society, it is up to children and their parents to choose school clothing.

As for the middle ground: Students should be able to choose their own clothing as long as it is in good taste and does not distract from school work. For example, pants should not be excessively baggy so that they hang down and show part of a student's rear because that is not tasteful and it draws attention away from schoolwork; students should not wear tee-shirts with messages on them because the messages may detract from schoolwork.

Answer 2

School dress codes can serve a purpose in promoting a sense of unity and focus on academics. However, whether they should be compulsory depends on the specific school's values and goals. It's important to balance the benefits of dress codes with students' comfort and self-expression.
