Dress Code.

When we were asked in class today to talk about public interests, the first thing that came to my mind was dress code. Dress code is something that most female students at Punahou have a problem with. Most guys don't really care, because they can basically wear whatever kinds of shirts they want, and some boys would wear polo/collared shirts anyway even if there wasn't a dress code. Anyway, I think the dress code is really ineffective and I am no less distracted in school than I was when there wasn't a dress code. I think that the only good thing about dress code is that you really don't need to worry about what to wear to school anymore, and money is definitely being saved to some extent because I don't need to buy as much clothes as I did when there wasn't a dress code. But whatever. I hate the dress code, I think it's stupid, and ineffective. Plus they are kind of expensive, and did require extra money to be spent to buy the uniform clothes last school year. I also think that all teachers should enforce it, or not enforce it at all because the way it is now, with some teachers enforcing it and some not, it is very unfair for students who have teachers that enforce it versus students who have teachers that don't enforce it. The students who have teachers that enforce it HAVE TO dress in dress code, and students who have teachers that don't enforce it can choose whether or not to dress in dress code, and take their own risks in running into a dean during the day. No matter how many announcements/reminders that the deans make in assembly about keeping up with the dress code, I still see handfuls how students everyday who aren't following dress code.

LEGGINGS AREN'T PANTS!

At least I'm a senior so I won't really have to deal with this dress code madness for much longer.
