I have no problems with dress codes. Every school has a dress code but the real issue is how liberal or conservative will that dress code be. I went to public schools, so our dress codes were pretty liberal and basically unenforced.
Right now, my opinion had changed on the whole strict dress code/uniform debate. When I was in school, I dressed my classy behind off and I would have fought tooth and nail against uniforms. But, now that I have graduated, I haven't thought twice about it. I wouldn't be affected by dress codes. I honestly don't have a problem with uniforms any more.
I don't really buy that "it stifles my creativity" argument. People who are creative will express that creativity regardless of what they are wearing. Think about how many times you have worked in a club or organization that decided to dress alike for a certain event, like the school choir or band, for instance. For most performances, the attire is white on top and black on the bottom. But, there are always those who look better in their black and white than others. If you can dress and are creative, you will look good if someone makes you wear a brown sac to school.
As far as hairstyles, I think that is going too far. As long as the students' hair is clean and hygenic, then it is no one else's place to step in and make them change it.
