Before I file a protest with the principal, I want to know if I’m justified.
When I got dress-coded it made me feel like I went to school in the morning to attract boys, and for girls to think I’m hot or something.To protest against this, I want to write a letter to the principal. I just want to know before I do: Am I in the right or should I simply leave the dress code alone because the dress code is doing what it should?Being called out like this by your teacher was tough for you.Dress codes are designed for a very good reason.
One good thing dress codes do is to help to take the pressure off of some kids who might not have the resources to dress in trendy styles. The code sets a basic standard for the entire school, and yes – kids should understand and respect the standards their school has set. Some schools mandate that students wear uniforms. This sidesteps the whole issue of putting school staff in the position of gazing at students and judging their wardrobe choices.
You are correct that these rules are often enforced on girls more than boys, and that sometimes kids who wear their hair in twists or braids are also unfairly “coded.”Yes, I agree that you should write a letter to the principal, expressing your thoughts and bringing up the good points you’ve raised.
