New dress code at Chambersburg schools?
Chambersburg Area School District is considering a tougher dress code policy, which generated a lot of buzz on social media. Here's a sampling of what you had to say.
Some showed support for a stricter dress code at CASD...
- It seems a little harsh, and I know I'm usually the first to complain about learning to express individuality, but uniform standards do cut down on bullying since it takes clothes and the status that goes along with being able to afford certain name brands. It also can make school shopping a lot more affordable for parents.
- This is a good idea being a student there before n seeing what half the kids were dressed in n some being hardly anything this is a good idea if the students would follow a few simple rules it would have to be this way so don't blame the school for the teenagers actions when u get a job most places u have to wear a uniform or dress up so get over it itz life
- I don't live there anymore but being the mother of children that wear uniforms ~~ They are great no more fights on what to buy or wear to school everyday~~ No more bullying because the "rich" kids have all the "in" things and the poorer children don't ~~ It should be for all public schools Just my opinion
Others said the proposal is overkill or threatens students' self-expression...
- I hope they plan on providing the uniforms cause to me its crap these kids are not aloud to have the chance to express them selves and who they are.... don't get me wrong I don't want my childrens pants sagging our my daughter wearing reviling clothes but its not fair to them hint the word public schooling......

What are the kids supposed to wear on these cool mornngs?

Most parents are single parents and can't afford to just keep purchasing different wardrobes for their children! With the price of gas you have to spend to go to work who can afford new clothes because they want to take "Public" out of a Public school system?????more2012-09-13T11:41:45.055Z

Let the kids express themselves, as who they are, and who THEY wanna be, not what the school wants them to be, a goody two-shoes who wheres a uniform to school everyday. Uniforms are for private schools, not public schools. People shouldn't be forced to change who they are just because the school wants to do things a certain way, its ridiculous and uncalled for on the schools part. I hope the students get mad and protest this, because I know I would...more2012-09-13T03:06:52.098Z

Also, as a recent graduate, forcing ridiculous regulations on them is NOT the way to boost school performance. Being too tough on kids will make them hate their environment even more, not suddenly grow the school pride that Chambersburg sorely lacks. All I can say is I'm so glad I'm out of there. PS, forcing everyone to dress alike DOES NOT COMBAT BULLYING, and anyone who seriously believes that clearly has never been bullied.more2012-09-12T20:35:14.778Z
