Case: Dress Code
Ms. Smith takes a class to the local elementary school once a week. 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!)
If this is a requirement for the class, it should be in Mrs. Smith's course syllabus. If it is, then the students should be required to wear the appropriate professional dress. There are solutions for the students who can not afford clothing. I know teachers who reach out to local clothing stores, and sometimes even big chains. Believe it or not, Walmart sells clothing now that would be fine for this type of activity. Some teachers even offer students the chance to fundraise for these items. There are also teachers/parents/community members who would sponsor clothing for a student. Lowering the standards or expectations will not benefit anyone in the long run, especially those particular students who would essentially be left out of the true experience. |

Comments: I believe this solution is very meaningful. The solution was not to give up the required dress rather thinking out of the box to find solutions for various problems the teacher had with enforcing a dress code. The solution talked about looking for charitable contribution for clothing that would be suitable. |

Comments: If it is in the syllabus, then the parents know what is to be expected. If they can not afford it or have issues regarding it, then they should reach out the teacher to see if any special accommodations could be made. Donations would definitely help, as students who grow out of the clothes may donate it - possible for a reward. |

Comments: I agree. There are many resources that the students and teacher can utilize to make sure the dress code is adhered to and this is more than about just setting a silly rule. Sometimes we have to reach outside the box and be resourceful to get a job done. |
