These are the times that try student’s souls. Living in a place where it is above 85 degrees most of the year you are going to want clothes that accommodate the hot temperatures, most of those clothes though do not follow dress code but honestly what else can you do? The war against dress code is actually begun! Let’s take your school  for example, if you were to look in every girl’s closet you’re guaranteed to find tank tops or just shirts in general that do not “live up to the dress code”.  Honestly the fact of the matter is that the dress code is set in place to make sure guys and girls alike do not dress inappropriately, but honestly they are just too strict. Clothes manufacturers now-a-days are not even making clothes to fit with in dress codes without unnecessary layering and having to buy several pieces of clothes from different stores just to make an appropriate outfit for school. I do not mean that there should not be a dress code at all; I just think it should be less strict. Let’s be honest, by the time you’re in 7th grade you know girls have bras so it won’t kill you to see the straps of something half of the population has; or another prime example is guys walk around shirtless out in public, but at school if they wear a tank top that cuts low they get in trouble I speak for everyone by saying we have all seen a guy shirtless it is not as big a deal to see him in a low cut shirt. There has always been a “dress code” set in place for school even back in the day, but it needs to change with the times. Back in the day girls had to wear a dress or skirt to school because jeans were an after school or weekend attire. We all know that the dress code were just guidelines put in place for our sake and to make sure we abstain a presentable school, but if they were a bit more relaxed about them there would not be so much breaking the dress code. I repeat it, sir, we must fight respectfully against the dress code!
