Still talking about Karen Wagner HS

In my last blog, I really wanted you, the viewers', opinions on Karen Wagner High School's dress code. But now, I feel as if I should express my feelings on the matter.

Wagner's dress code is necessary for that school district. It achieves both the wanting of individuality that the students so desperately feel comes partly from whatever they are wearing, and it also achieves the academic benefits and lower rate of discipline problems. Even though it's extreme and that uniforms would less expensive, the school board has accomplished its goals. 

I would also like to respond to my recent comments:

One comment brought up the limited alloted hair styles at Karen Wagner as it pertains to keeping discipline issues down. I hardly believe that the fact a student was found out of dress code because his Mohawk could of started some kind of gang fight. When dress codes are as confined as uniforms are, school boards usually try to incorporate hairstyles, make-up, jewelery, and even shoes and socks to make it more complete. In my mind, if I'm going to make rules telling kids or young adults what kind of jeans, shirts, shoes, and even socks, let's control it all the way around and add in hairstyles and jewelery too. But even my uniformed school wasn't as strict as Karen Wagner High School. That would probably the one thing I would have a problem with: how are a group of people who most likely can't even pronounce my name let alone spell it tell me how to wear my hair?!

Now to the other comment that was made: if you think that a standardized dress code is unacceptable, how to you propose to have a job? Think about it, even McDonald's has a uniform! Any business that you will apply for unless it is your own, there will be a dress code because it represents your attention to detail, respect for the position you want, and darn it just looks good! But what if you will have your own business? You still would have to "dress to impress" or guess what, conform to a dress code, when you go and apply for a business loan. And yes, there are other factors that are involved in that last example, but you understand my point.
