RE: ‘Let tertiary students decide what to wear to school’
Wednesday, November 3, 2010
Dress codes are important. Be it in a workplace or school, It simply shows how professional you are and how you present yourself. The reason why polytechnics set dress codes is because it helps students to focus on their schoolwork rather than what their classmates are wearing and it also helps the students on early preparations on how to present themselves in future.
In polytechnics, sleeveless T-shirts, singlets, shorts, slippers and miniskirts are not allowed. Basically, I feel that polytechnics should allow us to wear shorts and slippers because Singapore is characterised by a hot and humid climate. Besides, too much exposure of flesh will lead to guy’s distraction and it will definitely affect their studies. I believe that not all tertiary students know how to present themselves in proper attire. Because news about dress codes in schools have been a hot topic recently.
In fact, I feel that the news about dress codes is mainly referring to the girls out there. How can a guy able to dress up gorgeously like a girl? No! Guy simply wears a T-shirts, Baggy pants, caps and etc. Thus, it does not reveal any of their flesh as compare to girls. Therefore, I think polytechnics should take into action about their dress codes. Especially the girls, they should wear T-shirts and pants instead of sleeveless T-Shirt and miniskirts. If they feel like wearing tank tops or sleeveless T-shirts, i suggest them to wear a cardigan so that it is more presentable.
