Female Students should be punished for "inappropriate clothing choices".

Inappropriate - Not suitable or proper in the circumstances Also, we are assuming that this in a private school where there is a clothing criteria, but the uniforms are being folded in an inappropriate manner. Rebuttals "However. .. is this not effecting the girls educational environment? Are you not just telling her she has to pull away from her studies to change clothing for the male benefit? You are telling her that the male educational environment is more important than her own. .. otherwise, stating that the men are more entitled to an education than her" and "Instead of making a girl feel insecure by having her only wearing certain things (creating a sort of guilt of themselves for the way guys think), we should teach male students/faculty not to over-sexualize female body parts. " A principal has many more factors to vary in before he makes a decision about an act of misconduct. When the "female" is pulled out of class for inappropriate clothing, her class time could easily be made up in her own time if she took her studies seriously. As for male "benefit" , the blame here can not rest on males looking at women. It is a natural hormone that is in our body that is particularly potent at teenage years. By asking men not to look at women in revealing clothing is similar to women not looking at a shirtless man. In general, principals take into consideration the education of many over the education of a single individual. Thus the female should be punished for disrupting the class as the whole situation could be prevented if she just dressed appropriately. "Why does the girl have to be taught to respect her body, other than teaching male students to respect the opposite sex and teach them to look away? " A fair point but my opponent is being unreasonable in his/her decisions. Women in general should be taught to respect their body because its a good practice to have in the real world. As school is a learning environment it is important to teach young boys and girls common sense. When walking in public areas, it is discouraged by the public if someone dresses inappropriately, this can lead to misleading first impressions when talking to somebody else. By what I mean as inappropriate are mini skirts and tank tops just to name a few. Also, the world we live in is regrettably filled with hostile people, and if they see someone dressed in a similar appearance as before, they will most likely be taken advantage of. This scenario may have been avoided if the subject in mind was dressed appropriately. Arguments Females should be punished for inappropriate attire if teachers have deemed it to distracting in the classroom. If the female student is sent to the office we can assume that her outfit is fairly outrageous and has produced a fairly noticeable change in a formal learning environment. If students are not punished then the assumption is then made by students that any changes can be made on school uniform. This would lead to some disastrous results in school attire. Another factor to add is that schools are considered a formal learning environment. Meaning that, what to wear and how to dress in a formal place is appropriate. By enforcing a strict dress code ensures that when students turn up to formal functions later in life. They know which clothes are considered appropriate for the occasion and which are not. Sorry for the long reply I was just mulling over your arguments and trying to think of my own.
