There have been many students complaining about the dress code, and I agree. it is too strict, and as such I believe that all students should come to school in the nude. If you are going to allow students to wear those super short shorts and sleeveless shirts than you can’t say that their is much cloth left between them and their birthday suits anyway. While you might say, “Well wouldn’t that be distracting?” Not at all. We already have anatomy classes at the river, so it’s not as if the students have never seen a human body. This new order would boost self confidence in students and promote being comfortable in their own skin. For those students that aren’t comfortable with the way they look, it would encourage physical activity and healthy eating habits to obtain the shape that they desire. It could be called “Inappropriate” by some critics, but are we really going to pretend students at this level of their lives have never seen a naked body of the opposite sex?
Students have been arguing the dress code for years, even making court cases out of it. Now their would be nothing left to debate. Right now they want to be able to wear tank tops and backless blouses, but if those demands are given into then it will only encourage them to ask for more freedom to wear less. This would end all the future questions as to how little they can wear at school. It would diminish school fighting and bullying because you can’t make fun of someone when you are just as vulnerable as they are. You could pick on them for their funny shaped birthmark, but what if they taunt the size of your scrotum, or poke fun at the zit on your buttocks? You wouldn’t fight because everything is out in the open and easily targetable. In addition to this rule I would suggest passing “The Buddy System” which would prevent any possible sexual abuse. During the day students would be paired up with a member of the same sex and they would travel together to their classes. For each period they would switch to a different “buddy” and continue on the day with them. If one student would be absent their buddy would have to be assigned to make a group of three buddies, or to tag along with someone else who is buddyless. This way no other students would try to bust a move on an unsuspecting peer. Surveillance cameras would be installed in bathrooms, now that there is no need for privacy, and monitored to make sure no one was trying anything funny in there.
While this may sound like it is creating an unnecessary erotic environment that would be unsuitable for children, we are preparing them for college. They should know ahead of time what to expect and how to respond. It might be difficult to get used to it at first, but after a week or two it would wear off and become same old same old. This would be a valuable lesson for all young adults and an easier way to make friends and judge possible dates. There are no secrets and no surprises, you’ve already seen them at their most vulnerable point. Camera usage by students would be banned from school and students sworn to secrecy to ensure that they would not spread information about any other students at the school. The morning news would be replaced with morning radio, saving money on expensive filming equipment that is purchased for T.V. production. This would ensure the safety of all students after they left school that no physical evidence of them in their nakedness would leave the confides of these halls, creating a safe haven where you can share all your secrets with peers. This would also add an interesting perspective to art classes, finally giving teachers the freedom to teach figure drawing classes and help improve students on all fronts. On field trips and days with guest speakers students would be permitted to dress themselves, but only for the hours pertaining to said occasion. Upon return from a field trip or the exit of a guest speaker students would de-robe. Each student would be given a locker to store their clothes and other personal items.
On the occasion of females having their monthly visit they would be permitted to wear undergarments on their lower area, or stay home and take their classes online for those days, but only with a note from your parents. Online classes are monitored and if you do not attend for the allotted time you will be denied the privilege and forced to return to school. No more than 7 days of consecutive absences will be permitted. I understand the sanitary issues that arise with this predicament, but each student would carry an antibacterial cushion with them, provided by the school board that they would set on each chair. If on any given day the student does not have their padded seat cushion they will be asked to stand for the entire period. I would suggest having them keep them in their lockers. Locker rooms would be divided into male and female.
A daily routine for the student would require them to arrive at school fully clothed and undress upon arrival. The students would be given five minutes at the end of the day to redress before exiting. For sports, students would be given the option of wearing clothes, but not demanded to. It is up to the young adults at this time to start making smart choices, and if they think it not smart enough to cover themselves when others are running around with cleats on their feet so be it. Any form of PDA is not to be tolerated. A hug, a kiss, or anything of that nature will result in immediate suspension and will go on your permanent records. Other charges may apply. In between classes, all teachers will be in the hallway to supervise the flow of students for such unacceptable behavior.
Teachers will have strict background checks done on them before being hired to reduce risk of pedophiles in the schools. The buddy system would still be applied after school hours as a precaution. If you have make up work you better arrange for a buddy to take you home. I can think of no possible downside to this strategy.
