Subject: Re: research about dress codes and student success
Interestingly enough - we went from a formal dress code --- shirt- tie-
dress shoes, etc. to a less formal code about 3 yrs ago. We now have
Kearney polo shirts, pants, shoes (which has led to boots and more);
blouses, pants or skirts for females. Our students look very messy
according to many of us.
Last month 2 sophomores petitioned the school to put a formal uniform
or code in place. They wrote an excellent petition with suggestions
(dress pants, oxford shirt, official school tie, dress shoes; females
would have blouse, official school tie, dress shoes, pants or skirt).
They also included penalities. The issue is now before student council
and it looks like there is overwhelming approval of a more formal code.
I have noticed a decline in behavior (and perhaps success) in the
dressed down code we currently have. Many of the staff are excited about
the student petition. Time will tell.
