Editorial: Dressed for Success

Dress codes are important in schools because teachers, students and other staff need to be appropriate, have a good appearance and respectful to others. In order to do this you have to think of what clothes you wear to school, church, a special dinner, dances or with your friends. It is also important to have your clothes washed with the laundry and dried in the dryer or on the clothes rack with clothespins. Girls should not show cleavage, bra, and bra straps or wear shorts that do not go past their fingers when their arms are to their side. Boys should not show their underwear, shirts with drugs or alcohol or anything that is offensive and inappropriate. Other than students, some workingmen and women also have to follow dress codes in order to set an example for others to follow. For example, gentlemen need to wear ties, dress pants, shoes and a belt. Ladies have to wear dresses, skirts or pants along with shoes or sandals. Dress codes are aimed at displaying professionalism and our dress code is aimed at preparing students for that. Dress codes are important because other people want you to be respectful and have a good appearance.
