In schools that require uniforms the student body all look like the same person, very bland and boring people. This is not what American society is; we are casual dressing, diverse people. Dressing casually and showing diversity in our fashion is the best way to recognize students as individual people, showing our American culture – not as part of "those people." Though some may argue that some students dress sloppily or immodestly, most districts have dress codes that students do have to follow, which helps this. Although, most students do take pride in themselves and strive to look nice in a variety of clothing, dressing even quite formally sometimes, because they want to look good, and it makes them feel good about themselves.
Without a sports jacket and dress pants professors look trashy and can’t be taken seriously. Students want their professors to dress up every day, otherwise they don’t believe the professor should be there. Students also want their professors to be passionate about the subject they teach because if the professor doesn’t care about the subject and doesn’t want to be there, then the students definitely won’t want to be there either. Despite what others think about the personality and fashion of professors, there are other ways to think about it. When I have a class and the professor is passionate about the subject, the class basically passes itself.
Like my professor says “ A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” I agree that dress codes will not make public schools perfect, but i can guarantee that it will make a big difference. Dress codes will keep the students more focused on the studies rather than worrying about what other students were saying about clothing. It will definitely decrease gang fights, which are taking place because of the different colored
Murray and Ungar Synthesis In the many recent debates about how to approach higher education, one issue that has constantly appears is the question of students benefiting from a liberal arts based education. Some argue that a liberal arts education is helpful in teaching students the basic life skills, others claim that a more specific field of study is necessary in order to b successful in life. In Ungar’s essay “the New Liberal Arts”, he claims that with a liberal arts education, students can benefit tremendously when they receive their jobs. In Murray’s essay “Are Too Many People Going to College”, he proclaims that a liberal arts degree is not highly recommended because the more difficult careers want students to take classes that are more specific to a job. Sanford J. Ungar and Charles Murray both conduct and display their own opinion towards the facts they learned through their own strenuous research.
Having a mandatory uniform limits teenager’s creativity and their expressive side. Lastly, the uniform can be harmful to schools image because some schools may have nicer uniforms than others causing other schools to envy them and not feel equal and uniforms are all about making everyone equal. Students will most likely be in their uniforms after school hours. If some students are caught up in bad behavior it can make the school look bad and gain a reputation. Also, when students don't agree with the uniform they wear many of them alter
Katie Gathman Professor Star College Comp 16 October 2013 Pro Co-Mingling Legislation Apart of the typical every day college experience would involve the opposite sex. Usually having mingled classes with both male and female is a good part of the college experience since it gives the opportunity to expand a persons social circle and gives the chance to intermingle with the opposite sex. Some students have come from all boy and all girl high schools, which they may not of experienced the opportunity to socialize and talk with the opposite sex. Saying all of this, I am against the Anti Co-Mingling Legislation because I believe that socialization with the opposite sex will help later in life, having the opposite sex in a classroom does
Within the last two decades, sagging pants have become one of the most noticeable and controversial fashion trends in the United States. The opinions of how society feels about this trend can be divided into two groups. People who are in favor of sagging pants simply say that the style is comfortable and is a way to show their freedom of expression. Those who are opposed to this fashion statement complain that it is no more than a display of public indecency. Some of the opposition even wants to make sagging pants into a criminal issue.
Generally schools require students to wear uniforms for the desire to increase the students’ academic levels. Many critics rebuttal that uniforms “infringe on student’s First Amendment right of free expression” (Kelly). Although the use of uniforms might take away some of a student’s freedom of picking what new outfit to wear every morning, to exercise the use of uniforms in a school environment gives the students more time to focus on their homework after school rather than
They have the tendency to be self absorbed, worrying more about their appearance than anything else. Most of them are insecure about themselves but hide behind their money and designer clothes. It is not unusual for them to lie and gossip about one another just to get to the top of their clique. After high school some grown up and realize there are more important things in life while the others still need materialistic stuff throughout their life to be happy. In high school we all get a label, sometimes its one we spend decades trying to live up to, where others spend a lifetime trying to forget those painful years.
Students need to wear traditional cap and gown to preserve the tradition of graduation. Students should have to wear traditional cap and gown so that it would not take away from the other graduates that dressed correctly. Many people may think that the graduates should add to the cap and gown however, all the graduates should dress traditionally so that nobody feels left out. Dr. Phil stated on his TV show, “When people do something out of the ordinary that draws the attention away from everybody else, it can make others feel depressed.” By this he meant, it can make people fell disheartened about what they wore. Last year during spirit week only one of my friends dressed up in the theme, and that drew a lot of attention to him; this made me somewhat depressed.
