Students need to stop worrying about their trendy designer clothing or makeup, and concentrate on getting a good education. It shows no respect for themselves and no respect for anyone else. I feel that teen-agers do not understand fully the importance of proper dress attire for school. The Spotsylvania school system tries very hard to enforce the dress code. School is not a nightclub where you come to attract a mate or reflect the rap world or gothic ideals.
Many teens dress inappropriately as an act of rebelling against adults.
As a recent graduate of Spotsylvania County schools, I feel that the dress codes are in good standing as I am all for it. Unfortunately, teachers don't always enforce their own dress code. Granted, I can see some things getting by like a moderately cut sleeveless shirt or a nice button- up with a tank top under it. I'm all for comfort as well as expressing one's opinion. Cell phones have become a way of life in today's society.
