Friday letters: School dress codes would teach discipline

I am a high school student, and I believe that it would be beneficial for all of our schools to adopt a dress code. Some may argue that this would restrict the individual student’s freedom of expression, but none of us has unrestricted freedom to do as we like at all times.

We must all learn discipline, respect the feelings of others and learn how to operate in the real world in order to be successful. Dress codes would not only create a better learning environment, but would also help prepare students to join the workforce.

School uniforms would be nice, so everyone is equally dressed and getting dressed would be so much quicker, because you know what you are wearing.
