Creativity
I am one of those "creative" or "artsy" people if you will so I am TOTALLY AGAINST having a dress code. Grant you that having a dress code may eliminate the "stress" of having to decide what you are and aren't going to wear to school, but allowing people wear what they want is a way to allow students (many of whom BUY THEIR OWN CLOTHES) to have that self-expression.
What people don't realize or respect is that not everyone wants to work for Corporate AmeriKKKa. Some people have that entreprenuerial spirit and part of that is defined in the way you dress. I wouldn't expect someone who worked in a restaurant to have on a shirt and a tie (not this day and age anyway), now would I expect that from someone who provides "entertainment services" whatever they may be.
Also, another problem with a dress code is that not parent agrees with what is "appropriate" for a child at a certain age to wear. Let's use girls for example... some develop their breast at the age of 12... some at the age of 18. There are some parents that are going to have a problem with their 12 year wearing a bra (regardless whether or not she needs one or not and some of them NEED ONE), and then there are some that are not going to have a problem with their nine year old wearing one provided that she is not showing everyone that she has one on. Another example is the "length of a skirt" classic. Traditionally, the skit is supposed to surpass the tip of a woman's middle finger when the arms are by their size. Some women who are the same height have longer arms than others so it is not fair if one girl can wear a shorter skirt than the next because neither girl can control their genetics.
As long the students don't come to school naked or try to wear sexually suggestive clothing to imply that the member of the opposite sexs can "get some" at lunch time, then let them wear whatever it is they want to wear.
