  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!)
In terms of the students who simply do not like the dress code, I do not think this is acceptable. The rule should not be changed for this reasoning. I think it is important that the students dress professionally for this. I think in terms of the student who say they cannot afford clothing within the dress code, I would suggest second hand shops or thrift stores to look for professional clothes. This would be a less expensive way for the students to get the dress code clothing. If the students cannot afford the clothing even at a low price, then I would talk with the student and work out another option and maybe make an exception for that student.
