In my opinion, I'm not exactly sure to whether or not I feel that dress codes are necessary. In different school settings, the community feels that it is necessary to wear uniforms. I am from Arlington, MA. In Arlington, we have two high schools. We have Arlington High School, which is a casual dress setting, and then we have Arlington Catholic High School, in which they must wear uniforms in order to attend this school. Granted Arlington Catholic is a Catholic School, but I don't feel that it is necessary to wear uniforms. I understand that there are many different reasons for which schools have dress codes, but I think that student's should be able to make their own decisions. On this specific website, they state many different reasons in which students should have a dress code. One of the main reasons is because of wealth. Some students come to school dressed in Burberry and Lacoste, while others wear clothes that are on the less fortunate side of the mall. In my opinion, people shouldn't judge people because of what they wear, but unfortunately, this is what goes on in schools. In this case, I can understand why schools have a dress code. It really depends on the community and the different issues that are going in schools. If there are extreme cases in which the school is not a healthy setting because of poeple making fun or discrimating against what people are wearing, I feel that a dress code is most deffinately necessary.
