  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 understand the reasoning for the professional clothing but some students do not own those or can afford it. I would expand the dress code to include maybe dark jeans with not holes and plain shirts that have a certain neckline and shoulders are covered. I feel if they are in compliance with dress code at their school, there is no reason they cannot participate.

Comments: I think expanding the dress code is an excellent way to still ask the students to dress in a nicer fashion without requiring them to buy clothes. No student should be excluded because they can't afford certain clothes. If the school they are attending doesn't require this dress code, it is not acceptable to require this of them. I also would not want them to have to rely on donated clothes, which will bring attention to their situation. Being a little more relaxed on how they need to dress means all students can be included.
