  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!)
I would base this decision on the reason these students are not abiding by the dress code. I work in a school where many of the students cannot even afford their school supplies. I would try speaking with the students on an individual basis to see exactly why they are not participating. If the students are not dressing professionally just because they do not want to, I would suggest taking away points or penalizing them. If they cannot afford to buy anything professionally, I would try asking if any of my coworkers were willing do donate, but I would never penalize them for their inability to buy something.
