The students at Harvest Middle School have many opinions on the dress code. To them, there are many ups and downs to it. Dyana stated that “(with a dress code people will) dress more appropriately.” That said, students see downsides to it as well. Alyssa addressed the disadvantages of not being able to wear some of her clothes, “I feel limited and unable to express myself.” The students that have volunteered to be interviewed had different opinions on what was said to be dress code, for instance, half the students that have been interviewed commented that they would want the dress code while the other half did not.

As you can see there are many contrasting opinions to the dress code. Some students would rather not have a dress code and others would keep it. These different opinions are interesting to see because it seems most students complainabout the dress code.
It’s a good story about people’s opinion about the dress code. Was confusing sometimes because had different questions at end.
