Badin dress code, constructive or controversial?

Many students have gotten multiple detentions for dress code violations. There have been talks of changing the current policy regarding the clothes that students wear.

Students want a “less strict dress code, more colors on everything and more uniform shirts,” senior Ethan Brovey said.

This would give many students a better outlook on school because of less basic clothes.

The dress code involves only a few colors for boys pants including grey, blue, black and khaki and skirts for girls have no color options. The tops, however, have gotten less strict with Badin adding a new jacket this past year.

Some things that girls want added include “khaki skirts, other kinds, spirit wear sweaters other than just the uniform ones,” senior Isabel Ely said.

Adding things like this would greatly increase what people have to choose from.

Getting something added to the dress code is as easy as talking to Mr. Imhoff or just sending him a quick email. This is how things like grey pants and letting boys wear shorts all year round were added.

However, it may not be easy for every student “talk to Imhoff, we don’t really know as students how to do stuff like that,” Brovey said.

Students overall want more information on how to change things like the dress code and students want to feel like they have a voice in the school.

Overall, as the years have passed, many new things have gotten added and in the years to come new items will be out for students to wear, however; for now Brovey sums up his feeling toward the dress code in two words, “It blows.”
