“ Use of pants on any day of the year inside the school ” BY MARILYN CHON Would

you like to wear pants on any day of the year whether it’s hot or cold? Some schools only allow to wear pants on winter, once winter is finished the deputy principals prohibits students to use thermal pants or normal pants until next winter, which they do unfairly nowadays .

The use of pants shouldn’t be banned in schools for seasons, but should be an option to choose between jeans or pants.

When summer begins you are forced to wear jeans, and if somebody gets cold even if it is summer time you are still forced to bring jeans, but if anyone comes It is an immorality when they do that, because they are looking that a student is dying of cold with jeans and they still continue with the rule of no pants.

Another problem is the style and design of pants, for example if the pants are of the color that is required at school, but has a print either small or large it isn’t allowed, this rule is also an injustice because for some students isn’t easy to find pants without any print, there are few pants without something print on it, it takes a long time to find the exact pants that the school requires, and if we don’t follow the dress code we aren’t allowed to enter to classes.

was like 6:58 I was running late for class and the deputy principal looked at me and told me that I couldn’t take classes because I was wearing pants, and I asked why, he told me because it was summer and winter it was already over. In my mind I was thinking it was like 30 degrees outside because I was shaking of cold. The deputy principal didn’t care and sent me back to home to go change for some jeans, he didn’t care when I told him that my mom obligade me to wear pants!” Imagine this… you get a strong pneumonia and you can’t continue going to school for several days, that it could cost you to lose half of a semester and all because not to be allowed to use pants that it helps you prevent you from various diseases. Schools should also look out for the health of students, schools are require from government to acomplish with the laws imposed on them, but apart from losing aundience if it is a private school, on the other hand if it is a government school it will lose students and quality education.
