Many students have complained about the dress code at BPHS, saying that girls should be allowed to wear spaghetti strap tank tops, or wear shorter shorts. The dress code should not have so many restrictions.

It should be okay to wear shorter shorts, or wear pants with rips above your fingertips. Pants with rips that high up on your leg aren’t exposing that much. And unless that person is walking through the halls, you probably won’t see how short their shorts are.

The dress code is a little excessive saying that you can’t wear shoes without backs, or expose your shoulders. Some might think that wearing shoes without backs is dangerous when going up and down stairs, or that exposing your shoulders is showing too much.

However, it may be a little dangerous to wear backless shows walking through the halls, but you spend most of the day sitting in class anyway.

Also, wearing tank tops shouldn’t be a problem; some say it’s distracting other students, but all it’s doing is showing your shoulders. Students should be allowed to wear spaghetti strap shirts backless shoes, jeans with holes above your fingertips, and shorter shorts.

Some of the dress code is reasonable, like you can’t come to school wearing next to nothing or graphic T-shirts with bad slogans.

The dress code does keep the students in line, so nobody comes to school in clothes exposing too much, or offensive graphic T-shirts. However, it can go a little too far in what students aren’t allowed to wear.

At times, it seems the dress code has become more important than education to some teachers. For instance, you could be in the middle of a class, and your teacher would stop teaching to tell you to go to the office. Doing that, they are making you leave class, and stop learning, causing you to be behind in your class. Not only that, but they are distracting the other students, so the students aren’t learning for those few minutes.

As well as, when you’re walking in the halls to your class, a teacher would dress code you, and make you go to the office. That would cause you to be late to class, and then you would be  behind on class work.

The dress code at BPHS has too many restrictions, and it should be fixed.
