Why is that we have to wear certain clothing to school? In the summer it gets exremly hot, and I like to dress according to the weather. If its hot out I will wear shorts and a tank top and in the winter I'll wear pants and a sweatshirt. But just think of having to wear sweat pants and a sweatshirt when its 97 degrees out and your trapped inside a class room for 8 hours!!!! =0 . It just seems to be getting hotter and hotter by the minute! If you are feeling SO hot that you can barley move then just imagine how it affects your learning in school. In conclusion we should be able to wear whatever we want to school. About 1 year ago I was sitting in Mr.Poole's enligh class. It was very hot out and sweat was pouring down my face. I had shorts on and a tank top. It was hot but i was comfortable becuase I was dressed according to the weather. When I was walking in the hall way to get to my next class, Mrs.Rappa stops me and says come into my office. I had no idea what was happening. So as I stepped into her office she said ''Don't bother to sit down because your just going to have to change your clothes." I asked her what she was talking about. She said that what I was wearing was inappropriate for school becuase my shorts weren't finger tip length, and she said my tank top was to revealing. So she made me change out of my shorts and my tank top and I had to change into my gym clothes. Unfortunitly for me I had sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt. The second I put it on I was sweating like I had just ran a marathon. There was still 6 hrs. of school left and I didn't think I would be able to make it through the day. As the bell rangonce again I was in the hallway walking to my next class. As I aporched the doorway I feel to the floor. I passed out for about 5 seconds. Angelica was slapping my face and pouring water on me trying to wake me up. When I woke up I asked her what happened. She said you passed out for 5 seconds. I stold up, rubbed my head because I felt really light headed. Finally the bell rang for dismissal and I walked outside to get on my bus. As soon as I got home I put on my bathingsuit and jumped into the pool. I finally was cooled off. I was in the pool for the rest of the night. That would NOT haved happened if Mr.Figg and Mrs.Rappa would of just let me wear my shorts and tank top. They are NOT our parents and they shouldn't have a say in what we wear to school. The only poeple that should have a say is out parents because we are under their jurisdiction not the prinipals. Therefore, everyone should stand up for what they think is right and I am standing up for me and I think that we should be able to wear whatever we want to school.
