Below is a letter written to the editor who wrote the article 'Enforcement of dress code creates negative effect' that your blogged about last week. Most of you wrote on your blog that you agreed with the writer. What are your thoughts after reading the letter below and seeing a different perspective. Are they the same? Are the different? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I can for sure see both sides of this issue. I do agree with Riley that some teachers enforce the dress code in a very rude and unnecessary manner, but I can also see that they are just trying to hold us to a professional standard. She did ignore the other side and that does not make for a very strong or reliable argument. Seeing both perspectives changes the way that this rule can be viewed, but for me the issue is still the way the teachers comment on it to the students. I do not know any girls that are purposely dressing inappropriate, but the way some teachers comment on it they make it sound as though that is our goal.
