I like the dress code because no one argues over who is wearing what, you don't have to worry about what to wear in the morning, and because it makes dress down Mondays special. I hope that people will realize that dressing down can save time, stress, and keep you from worrying. I think dress codes create a stabilized environment and productive students. Not a lot of flashy colors and distracting.
If everyone is wearing the same thing then no one can really pick on someone for wearing khakis or white/black/grey T-shirt. This leaves little to no room to argue, and again keeps class room distractions down amazingly. Bullying has become a major problem everywhere, and though a change in the way people dress may not fix it completely, it cuts it back. And every little victory counts with something like bullying.
I, for one, am very glad that I do not have to worry about what I need to wear almost every day. I no longer have to stress about if the outfit I picked out last night will look as good as I think. I have anxiety and I know that if I can deal with one less problem then I would happily do so. It keeps me from running late to school and from missing my bus every morning and being able to eat a full and healthy breakfast.
If we had Christmas or and great holiday everyday, then what would be so special about it? Nothing. Somethings are great because they only come once every so often. Dress down Mondays is the same way for me. I get to look forward to that one day where I can show who I am through the way I dress. I get to show off my style in all it's glory and weirdness, and so does everyone else.
In conclusion, I agree with the dress code. Many people may not love it but they chose to come to this school and they have to accept it. It saves time because you already know what you are wearing, it keeps the bullying level down at least a little, and it makes expressing yourself more fun. The dress code may not be the best but it makes for a near cool and collected school.
