To Whom It May Concern:
The following dress code that the Clarke County School District is trying to pin on us as student’s called for. Those that are deciding on this do not know what’s best for us students. Only the student’s and teachers knows what’s best. If the teachers don’t agree with the new dress code it should not matter to Clarke County School District on what we wear. Teachers are the ones that see us everyday, not the board of education and parents.
One thing that I agree to is that students should come to school clean, but then again some student might have it hard and can’t keep their self clean as well as others. Some student’s parents can’t provide them with good clothing; they are probably having money issues. Clarke County School District is going to make it harder for the parent’s that do not make much money, because they will have to buy their children more clothes just because the school district does not agree on what they are already wearing to school.
How students dress for school expresses that they are and not who the school district wants them to be. The dress code that we have now is good enough; they don’t have to change it just because some student parents think other student’s causes a distraction. The parents don’t go to school with us; they don’t have to see us everyday. If they want the student to dress a certain way, then they should dress their own kids the way they want others to dress. I think if they don’t buy our clothes they can not tell us what to wear only our parents can since they pay for them.
Everyday when I attend school, I do not get distracted by what others are wearing or how they look. When I’m inside of my classrooms and someone with a tattoo, I do not sit there and pay attention to their tattoo, I do the work that should be done. Tattoos are not showing any disrespect to anyone. I don’t come to school for a fashion show, I come to show the teachers that I am here to learn what ever they want to teach me. This rule with the earrings is despicable, no hoop earring! Earrings are not hurting anyone in any unparticular way. Hats and caps, we already know we can not wear them, so that’s a rule that may stay.
If they take that new dress code in a consideration, the whole Clarke County School District is going to be ridicules. It is more likely more students are going to make the school drop-out rate even higher with the Clarke County School District stupidity on how they are handling things the wrong way. If teachers are fine with it and say that they don’t see any distraction in their classrooms, I think the Clarke County School District and the parents should think the same way.
Well to whom ever it is that is reading this, I hope you take a time-out and think about the decision you all are making and that it is not a good one. You people might not realize it but everything that you all are changing is making student think twice about their education because yall are making it harder for us to learn coming up with these crazy nonsense rules for no unparticular reason.
