Comments on : ‘Let tertiary students decide what to wear to school’
Monday, November 1, 2010
I feel that tertiary students should be given the rights to choose what outfit they would like to wear to school. Tertiary students range ages 17years old- approximately 23 years old therefore they are old enough to decide what kind of clothing are suitable for school. Hence, I feel that the rules for tertiary education should not be so strict. The main purpose to go school is to study and not going school and showing off how nice clothes they have. RP “Improper attire” consisted of sleeveless T-shirts, singlets, shorts and miniskirts to lessons.I understand if the school catches students wearing miniskirts as those are unacceptable however I feel that shorts, sleeveless T-shirts and singlets should be acceptable. This is because Singapore's weather is so humid, wearing long pants everyday could be very hot. If the school wants students to dress up properly, students probably may end up coming school late.
Tertiary students should be allowed to wear any kind of clothing they want however students should not abuse the law by wearing mini skirts or shorts and other protruding clothes. Students wearing more and more casual to school that should not be an offence as some students may not be as fortunate as others, thus they may not be able to afford nice clothing. Moreover, students are going school to study and their focus should be more on studies and not the wear how they are dressed. In conclusion, I strongly disagree of having of a dress code for polytechnic and university students to a certain extend.
