HEADLINE: REPUBLIC POLYTECHNIC WARNS STUDENTS AGAINST 'IMPROPER ATTIRE' Based on this news article taken from The New Paper, 27 October, 2010, I agree that students should dress appropriately to school, for instance no short skirts n no slippers, etc. This is because it gives a bad reputation of the school to the public. Despite knowing that polytechnic have rules and regulations that disallow students to wear revealing clothes and slippers, many of us here do wear. Why? The reasons for these are:
Firstly, students are getting vain and they want to dress up nicely every day. Some of them may chose to dress up to attract the opposite sex. Some even had heavy make-up on them which doesn’t make them look like a student at all. Because polytechnic is a place where you can dress up whatever you like, I have met people who will like to choose polytechnics as their first choice not because of the course they like as their main reason but because of being able to dress up every day. Ridiculous, isn’t it? Another reason is because many students know that polytechnics are not strict in discipline which means, you won’t get caught easily even if you are dressing inappropriately. Hence, this gives a bad impression to the public that polytechnic not only slack and is a “shopping school”For me, yes, I admit that I am lazy to dress up well every day and I personally do hope that there is uniform in polytechnic. I won’t need to think of what to wear every day then. I hope that one day polytechnic students are to wear school uniform. Isn’t that better? Teachers will not need to bother too much about students wearing short skirts, slippers etc and also I believe it will definitely give a much better impression to the public. But, i know that's impossible.
