The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.


                                            


I agree with this article because even though I haven't really witnessed or heard about it too much, I still think teachers at time blow it out of proportion and overreact at times. Sometimes I feel like a dress code is nice to have, just so there's a limit on what types of clothes we can wear, but just like Riley Miller said, she's only wearing what she wears because she likes those outfits or clothes, and feels comfortable in them, not because she's trying to get attention. As an adult or teacher, this could be inappropriate because when they were teenagers they didn't have issues like this, so to see things like this now could be a little too much to them. Some teachers might actually be disturbed by this. But as students, it's not a wrong thing to do because we wear what we feel comfortable in, and if they get a dress code or rule for everything, pretty soon there might not be anything we will be able to wear, because of how many restrictions there are.  As Riley Miller said, we are supposed to be "young adults," not "children" or "kids," so if we are actually supposed to be treated like that, then teachers shouldn't constantly telling us what not to wear and calling us out. I also agree with what she said about not only girls always changing, but boys also changing also. Since middle school girls have been the ones to change, when boys actually had a chance to change themselves instead, not just girls. Overall I agree with this article, and I hope things change soon.
