Question
Should schools have dress codes?
Position‹3 of 3

schools should have a nice standard dress code, but it should be the same for boys and girls

This position accepts a dress code but insists on a single standard: a plain, cheaply met set of rules stated identically for every student, so that the code governs garments rather than handing anyone a judgement about a particular student's appearance.

Supporting arguments · 2

  1. A single standard removes the judgement that makes codes unfair
  2. A common standard of dress hides differences in what families can afford
