After introducing what may be the closest dress code for young kids at any great school in the country, a school district appears to be taking on the role of style officers.
Anything from flip-flops and cuffs to sweatshirts and pants is prohibited at Bessemer City High School.
While some clothing is usually deemed unsuitable for the class, such as bandanas and glasses, some exclusions make more sense, such as a moratorium on comfortable pajama pants or jeans with holes in.
Representatives at schools point out that all of the goods listed, including open-toe shoes, hoodies, and leggings, have officially been against the rules for years, but only recently are school officials taking a walk and menacing students with disqualification if they break the rules.
In a letter sent to students and parents, the school stated that” Bessemer City Schools may strictly enforce the dress code and will not allow students to attend classes if kids are wearing inappropriate or controversial clothes.”
According to a statement from the table,” The faculty and administration may motivate students to be aware that clothing and personal look perhaps, in a very real way, affect the perception and attitude others may have of the student as an individual.”
‘ Therefore, each student should consider reasonable judgment, tact, and decency in the selection of clothes for school and for personal appearance.’
According to educators, students will be less prone to distractions by adhering to a stricter school dress code, which will ultimately help with learning.
Yet there are no plans to introduce a school uniform, for example, which would solve most of the problems instantly.
‘ We are OK with them being individual. Principal Stoney Pritchett and counselor Tahuna Thomas said,” We just want to make sure it adheres to the guidelines of our dress code.”
‘ This policy is a dress code to help foster a sense of community and reduce distractions, allowing students to focus on their studies,’ the school wrote on Facebook.
Principal Pritchett added that students would be safer by upholding the dress code.
‘ Oftentimes at the high school, we have drills. We have tornado drills, fire drills and weather drills,’ Pritchett said to
We must “line up and leave and things like that.” We want to ensure that children are safe while walking throughout the building.
‘ Other things happen as well that the school ca n’t prevent. Because the school is responsible, we just want to make sure nobody breaks their leg or ankle, and we also want to make sure everyone is safe.
