Subject: Females a Distraction in School?
Posted by: 13LuckyLady
Date: Oct 02 15
There is an on-going issue within schools. Female students are being declared a distraction and their attire is a subject of criticism.
Based upon what is available in stores for teens, unless you opt for making your own clothes, options are few.
Shorts and spaghetti straps...since when did school become about attire and not learning? Too many excuses already exist. What about droopy drawers?
Should we have to cover from head to toe in our own home countries? I won't do it (spontaneous human combustion) as I am a free person.
What is a girl to do?
(people, your opinions are important...please help make the thread a productive one rather than a destructive one)

The point I'm trying to make is that my Secondary school never discriminated against female students. The girls were always treated as equals and got the same responsibilities as the boys. When it came to the selection of school captains and vice captains, there were always two girls and two boys. It was the same with the S.R.C and the Peer Education groups. There were always girls involved. There was never an S.R.C or Peer Education group that consisted entirely of boys. Girls were always given an equal chance to represent the school. Reply #61.

What is the SRC? Good for your school! Elusive, you speak up on subjects you are passionate about. Your school system taught girls to speak up and taught boys girls have something to say. In my first college(uni to others) math class, the professor told us we would each be called on at least once during the semester to answer a question in class. After that, it would be females only. Of course every female groaned. The males started to complain it was unfair, some of them were math majors. The professor shushed us all and told us that he had seen over the years females had been told repeatedly they couldn't do math and science as well as males. He personally was sick of hearing that was going to prove to us how we could do it "as good as the boys, if not better". Reply #62. Mar 09 17, 5:38 PM |

The S.R.C is the Student Representative Council. Reply #63. Mar 09 17, 11:38 PM |

Well - all I can say is I wasn't distracted enough . I think I would have liked to have been distracted far more than I was ..... I went to a mixed school , obviously the wrong one . Reply #64. Apr 02 17, 5:56 AM |

School begins next week...sorry students! New dress code rules have begun....Aurora Central High has spoken. Two shirt suggestions for the guys...white and checkered. The girls are to wear long, floor length, dresses with 3/4 length sleeves and a scoop neckline. Their shorts are just above the knees. Jeans are still permitted with certain guidelines. Clothes will not increase a student's desire to learn. They either have it or not. Reply #65. Aug 03 17, 11:57 AM |

My school wou;ld send kids home if they weren’t clothed properly. Strict dress code that was always enforced (I never got in trouble for that… just other stuff). If I remember correctly, there were divisions between male and female. Sometimes I wish I’d gone to a different school… or that I’d been born years later so there would be more inclusion. I do thiinlk there’s too much enmphasis on appearance, however fact is (depending on age) kids don’t bvalue learning as much as other stuff. Reply #66. Sep 05 17, 8:19 AM |

Parochial schools around here made boys and girls wear standardized uniforms, to avoid a lot of the improper length this, and wrong style that. Also made for happier parents. Reply #67. May 08 18, 3:29 AM |

I find school uniforms sad. I'm so glad I didn't have to wear them. Let freedom ring, I say. I can't believe some of the previous entries. Some I found myself cheering for. Others frankly disgusted me. To generalize is a hateful thing. Reply #68. May 22 18, 9:57 AM |
