In order for the students to participate, she requires that they dress professionally, either in khakis and dress shirt or appropriate dresses. There are a couple students who do not participate each week because they do not like the dress code, or because they say they can not afford clothing within the dress code. Should she alter the dress code for individual students or stick to the professional dress that she requires? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As an educator that works in a uniform school. I do understand the views of Ms. Smith but students that do not have the money should not be punished. Those who just chose not to dress up needs an should receive some kind of consequence.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: Not really a solution.

There is a key difference, and perhaps the children unable to dress up would really like to if they could.

The students that have the money need to dress professionally but the students who do not should not be punished. It is not their fault what so ever, but maybe having clothes donated to the class would be a good thing. We used to have a closet of donations at my high school that anyone could borrow from as long as they returned it and the students loved it!

It would be better to have a newsletter sent out a head of time to the parents to let them know what the students will need for the class. Allowing the parents to set money aside to buy the required clothes for their child.
