    Should the School Decide on a Student's Appearance?

    By: Angelo Torres

    If school is supposed to be a place for students to grow, develop, and form their

    personalities, why are they being discriminated against when they pick their styles?

    Differences and diversity are crucial in developing leaders in many fields, as Marymount

    School strives to do. However, they forbid this fundamental notion. As Bolivar indicates,

    "when tyranny becomes law, rebellion is a right." Freedom is the foundation for progress, and

    it all begins with appearance and self-projection. Students should be free to alter themselves

    at any time without fear of repercussions from the school.

    The reasons for a student's right to change their style or hair color may vary.

    However, one of the most important reasons is that the school prepares the student for the rest

    of his life. With this in mind, schools must recognize that a person's appearance will not

    always be subject to strict restrictions. For example, when a student graduates and enters

    college, all of the restraints are most likely to go. As a result, what many schools see as

    simple diversions will become the standard. By letting students express themselves freely,

    they are receiving foundational training that will help them their whole lives.

    Similarly, among the numerous reasons already stated, it is worth noting that personal

    expression is recognized as a fundamental right. As a result, denying students the freedom to

    express themselves would be unethical. A freely expressed student does not hurt anyone; as a

    matter of fact, there is proof that this is advantageous to his surroundings. The benefit of

    expressing oneself is that the learner gains a lot of satisfaction and delight. And this is

    transmitted to all of the people that are around him. Therefore, an extraordinarily favorable

    study environment could emerge.


    As a means of conclusion, one must acknowledge that allowing students to express

    themselves develops a forward-thinking environment. If the school enables someone to

    express themselves, the rights granted by the constitution or the government will be

    respected. As a result, it may be possible to create a healthy functioning atmosphere in which

    everyone learns to enjoy one another. Thus, the school's policy of not accepting students who

    wear specific hair colors or apparel must be changed.
