oh sugar bear, thats two in two.
besides the above, whatever gave you the impression of paramount interest? and back to the top line, anal? towards you? perhaps recite ''agape love''.
i reckon you do it on purpose.
I don't understand. Do what on purpose? Why are you so ambiguous? It's border-lining pretension. Say what you mean!
Here it is, ending was kind of rushed cause I had to get to class, but if definitely got the job done:
Dress Code: A Professional Environment or a Professional Pain?
Dress code has long been a source of conflict between teachers and students, especially at a school such as Cranbrook, which upholds an exceptionally strict dress code. Mondays call for dress attire (dress pants and ties for boys, skirts, dresses, or nice slacks for the ladies) and Tuesdays through Fridays allow “casual” wear. However, Cranbrook’s definition of casual wear does not include jeans of any kind, sweats, t-shirts endorsing anything besides the school itself, sleeveless shirts, or camouflage. This extensive list of fashion faux-paus here at Cranbrook is obviously difficult for any teenager of the 21st century to manage, considering the fashion of the time and what is available in stores. Petty annoyances aside, enforcement of a strict dress code also hinders education, preys upon the insecurities of growing and vulnerable youth, emphasizes class distinction, and creates animosity between teachers and students. Dress code in its entirety, with exception to extremities and infringements upon public decency, should be abolished.
According to the Cranbrook Kingswood Community Handbook, punishment for dress code violations may include but is not limited to referral to the Dean of Students, detention assigned, a meeting with the student’s parents, and obviously the requirement that the student not wear the offending item again. These are all reasonable courses of action for student discipline; however, the restrictions of our dress code carry the issue far passed the matter of general decency. When an otherwise model student is admonished for the “crime” of wearing sweat pants to school, his or her motivation in class is affected and the student’s relationship with the teacher might be damaged. A student wishing to remain anonymous who was recently assigned a detention for the length of her skirts agreed that she “felt frustrated through the remainder of [her] classes” and “feels resentment towards the teacher who got her in trouble”. Another student said that he “often feels uncomfortable in the clothes that Cranbrook considers inappropriate”. How can this kind of oppression be beneficial to the educational experience?
The issue of dress code hindering student education is not an isolated one. When asked for a statistic on the number of students she stops a day for dress code, Sharon Peacock, a well-known defender of the dress code, approximated 10-15 girls a day, this number not including boys punished or the number of students referred to her by e-mails from male teachers not wishing to punish a female student themselves. In a school as tightly knit as Cranbrook, these are significant figures.
Furthermore, the requirements of this code push some students beyond their means. Anna Wu, a junior here at Cranbrook, feels pressured by the need to dress up. “I board here at CK, and my family lives in Japan. A lot of kids here live in Birmingham and are very well to do, but I don’t have sufficient funding from my parents to go all out on Mondays like many do. It’s embarrassing to be borrowing dresses every week when many girls are wearing Dolce and Gabana. It only broadens the gap between social classes.”
Without a dress code, the students of Cranbrook Kingswood who are, according to the Dean of Students, “as a whole, responsible and motivated individuals”, could feel more comfortable in class and free to focus on their studies. Furthermore, dress code would not lead to conflict between offended students and teachers who must act as disciplinarians instead of imparters of knowledge. Exceptions would be made if students were dressed in a manner offensive to society, but this would hardly be an issue at Cranbrook. Despite the particular relevance of this issue to Cranbrook, schools across the nation have similar dress codes and therefore, similar hindrances upon the education of its students. Shouldn’t all schools be working against these sort of oppressions?
