Every weekday morning during the school year, I wake up to get ready for school. I have breakfast, get on the bus and hope my day is good. Once I exit the bus and enter the school, I am greeted unpleasantly by girls coming out of their shirts along with boys' butts falling out of their pants. Immediately, my hope evaporates and is replaced by disgust. As I pass those crude scenes, I witness a fight due to one student bullying another because of the old-fashioned and simple clothes he is wearing. My day that was supposed to be amazing was disturbed again. I know I'm not the only person troubled by these almost daily visions. Therefore, in order to achieve a less distracting work environment and help eliminate violence, Perry Meridian High School (PMHS) must implement a stricter dress code. Dress codes have always existed in the United States. They were especially popular in the 50s, 60s and 70s. With the advent of the 1980s, the dress code fad began to fade away until the late 1990s arrived. At the beginning of 1997, 3% of public schools required school uniforms, and by the end of 2000 the percentage had risen to 21% (“School Uniforms Timeline” 2). That's when school uniforms started to come back into fashion. More and more schools are adapting their school dress code policies. According to Matt Buesing, in 2010 approximately 22% of children nationwide wore some form of dress code (Cavazos 2). Since then, David Brunsma has found that approximately one in eight public middle and high schools in the United States have policies on what students should wear to school (Motsinger 1). For example, some schools have a strict dress code that but...... half of the paper... the dress code. Once we enforce a strict dress code like this, our school behavior will begin to skyrocket due to the amount of unnecessary distractions that will be eliminated. With the loss of unnecessary distractions, our grades will change dramatically for the better. This is due to the newfound focus that the uniforms will help us achieve. The number of fights we see each year is also expected to drop dramatically now. Not only arguments but also most of the disturbances we come across should vanish with the implementation of the dress code. Ultimately, everything about our entire school experience should improve. We would no longer have to deal with obnoxious distractions involving clothes and pointless struggles that get us nowhere. We are the future and a dress code is the perfect way to help us get on the path to success in life.
