Why I think students should be able to wear what they want in school


                  Bluegrass Baptist School does not allow you to wear what type of clothes you want.  In most public schools you are allowed to wear whatever you want, whereas in our school you are only allowed to wear the certain dress code that is outlined by the board of the school.  I can understand why we may not be allowed to where anything we want because we are supposed to set an example for other people, and one way we can do this is by watching the type of clothes that we wear, but not allowing us to be able to wear jeans or tee-shirts to an extent, in my opinion, is a little too strict.  Last year we were allowed to pay one dollar to be able to wear jeans on Mondays, but now we are not even given the chance to have one day a week to be able to wear jeans.

                   Our school has a strict dress code to what the students are and are not allowed to wear.  Boys must wear a polo that can be either solid or striped in one direction, with no symbol bigger than the size of a credit card with khaki, navy, black, brown, or gray pants.  On chapel days which are Fridays, boys must wear a button down shirt with a tie.  Also boys are required to wear a belt every day of the week and tuck in their shirt.  After the sixth grade, we are no longer allowed to wear shorts of any kind, where we use to be able to wear khaki, navy, or black shorts. 

                   I have been coming to Bluegrass since kindergarten and the dress code has slacked up a little bit in some ways, but in others, the dress code has gotten even more strict.
