My teachers are starting to get on people for the dress code at our school, but it's gotten so out of hand that nobody really listens to them unless they're given a detention or sent to the office to call home to get a belt. I believe that the fashion is also something that's a factor in how my school is. We have metal detectors that we have to go through every morning and our bags are searched. The fashion isn't completely why, but looking like a gangster doesn't help the situation because it makes you look more suspicious. I'm not going to lie, our school was pretty horrible and "Ghetto" until now, due to the new principle. In a way I'm glad that the new principle came because maybe he'll be enough of an influence to change the way people decide to look. I know that a lot of people who dress that way are intelligent and great people, but the outfit they wear makes them look like they're dumb and in a gang.
