I've never known for there to be a dress code for college\nprofessors. If there is no teacher at my former university\ngot the memo. Wear what you want as long as you can still\nfeel professional in it. If any of the older teachers give\nyou any lip, throw them a blindfold.

it is easier for students at all schools, public and private, to wear a uniform to go to class.\n\nless competition and discrimination over appearance\n\ncheaper and ensures that students don't come to school in their beach clothes.\n\nthere is still enough room for individuality to be expressed through hair, shoes, makeup and general personality!

I work in education. I see children dressed in the latest fashion , designer clothes and expensive jewlrey. i see other children in clothes that are old and tattered. The parents of the poorly dressed kids can't afford expensive clothes and their children usually stay on the sidelines,feel inferior and are made fun of by the other children. This happens in all age groups. If there was a uniform all would be equal and this would be one less stress kids wouldn't have to deal with. The uniform could be as simple as an inexpensive pair of jeans and a tee shirt.

Different schools use different symbols and colors for their graduation robes.  There's no consistent pattern.

It depends the school policy. You can ask your teacher or maybe your principle, then..

The differeences between teachers are not because they are young or old, but are related mostly to attitude and perspective.  I have known excellent teachers who had just graduated from college and excellent teachers who were ready to retire.  I have also known newly graduated teachers who were very bitter and sour and angry in their perspecitve and older teachers who were the same.  \n\nJudging or characterizing anyone, teacher or other, by their age is the same as judging someone by their color,  It is a form of prejudice.

Are you talking about schools with a strict uniform, which would happen to be sleeveless during summer? Is so, I don't think there would be any. \n\nBut in case you're talking about all schools, then I'm pretty sure everyone wears tank tops in the summer.

i've been at schools that have banned hats (usually for some vague reason like 'to reduce gang activity' or something equally lame and unproveable), but i've never heard of a school that banned gloves.\n\nwhat spurious reason did they give for this policy?\n\ni've never understood the reason or value for any form of dress codes in schools.  and i've been a teacher.  i used to tell my students that i didn't care if they showed up in coconut bras and grass skirts, as long as they showed up.  i have never noticed ANY kind of corellation between what a student was wearing and that student's learning ability.

Good luck!  I am a teacher and I have NEVER known a time when Halloween costumes were allowed to be worn to school - not even when I was a child - at least in my state.  You must understand that there will be children that cannot afford costumes and will not be able to wear them.  Would you want them to be humiliated?  Also, candy is no longer allowed in schools, and the two usually go hand in hand!  School policies are not formed by the teachers nor the superintendent.  They are formed by the School Board who are elected by the residents of the school district.  You can make a change by either running for the Board yourself or not voting for someone who opposes your views.  If you are insistent about this matter of costumes, then contact the district and get your name placed on the agenda for a future school board meeting to address the policy with the Board.

Most people don't, but I had to wear a uniform up through 8th grade, and follow a fairly strict dress code up through high school.  I don't now in college, and I'm glad for that, but I think it was really useful when I was younger.  My schools were comparatively small, and the cliques weren't fun.  It was good not to have to worry what other people would think about the clothes I wore.  Though I don't know if I would have said so at the time, I think it might also have kept us just a little more focused on the academics.

Teachers may "dress up" (or not) for a number of reasons.\n\nSome teachers dress up because their schools require it.  Dress codes are probably as typical for teachers as they are for students.  (Teachers just don't complain about them as often or loudly.)\n\nSome teachers dress up because they think that students will respect it.  Other teachers "dress down" because they think that students will respect it.  (Neither the up- nor the down-dressers realize that students think the teachers look like dorks in any case.)\n\nSome teachers dress up because they are "old school," and they believe that a person doing a professional job should be dressed in clothing appropriate to a professional.  (And they're right about this.)\n\nSome teachers dress up or down because they feel that clothing is, or should be, a reflection of personality.  From their perspective, the style of dress is just "who they are."  (And some of them don't realize that certain aspects of personality don't need to be on display on the job.)\n\nSome teachers dress up out of respect for their topic and for their students.  They believe that their topic deserves to be treated well, and that their students are important people.  Dressing well is one way they can reflect this belief.  (And, again, they're right.)

I don't think there should be a uniform policy in public schools. They say kids in uniforms are better behaved and after working a year in an elementary school that requires uniforms, I learned that just isn't true. They're the same kids, only in uniform. Uniforms are pointless. Uniforms don't change the ways kids act, a juvenile delinquent in a uniform is still a juvenile delinquent.

It is illegal to cane both boys and girls in school in Singapore.Besides,I'm wondering that too...\nBut in my school,both boys and girls have to do the same punishment,regardless of our gender. :)

Yes, in high school.  We were demonstrating and burning the dress code which hadn't been updated since 1947.   Boys were getting expelled when their hair went over the top of their ears. Things have sure changed.  Now the school are excited if the chicks boobs aren't hanging out and the boys pants are somewhere near the waistline.  And what is this with all the fat chicks and hip-hugger pants.  That is gross!

Yes I believe they should. First, so kids dress appriopriately to school and are taught discipline and second so the school does not turn into a fashion show

If we are talking about public schools, I don't believe a madatory uniform is right.\n\nFor private schools, it is acceptable.

dress codes are just to keep students to wear thing that are apropiate. we may not care if someone shirt had swearing of somthing about sex on it but it not allowed in schools because they do not want expose these things to younger children.\n\nas for people who wear slutty clothes (hopefully only girls) the the dress codes prohibit you from wears these to protect you somehow.\n\nif you are talking about uniforms, they are used to identify students from stranger.
