Blog Post of the Day:
Below is a letter written to the editor who wrote the article 'Enforcement of dress code creates negative effect' that your blogged about last week. Most of you wrote on your blog that you agreed with the writer. What are your thoughts after reading the letter below and seeing a different perspective. Are they the same? Are the different? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.
The letter skipped around a lot. Half the time it was energetic and the other half it was flat out aggressive.
Also, though I myself have decided I disagree with the article we blogged on, I also disagree with this letter.
The message I took away from the letter was basically an "it's just what you have to do so even if it's unfair, do it" which I find to be an ineffective way to answer articles or arguments, such as the one met last week.
There is a bigger picture behind dress code, and the letter makes sense. There are certain things that are appropriate in different situations. Like, you wouldn't wear the moth eaten Halloween costume you wore last year to a funeral. At the same time, though, is that really the biggest issue in the High School system? We're learning how to be young adults, and we're learning that there are times and places that necessitate different things from us. But, come on. As long as we understand that we aren't going to be able to wear our favorite shorts to work when we're in out late thirties, isn't that enough? I find it a little strange that you're comparing High School to a professional work place.
It's going to be a long time before I'm in an actual professional work place.
