The controversy over school dress codes continues. The debate involves questions like, why is there a policy? Who sets the policy? Who enforces the policy? What is a fair policy? Tweens and teens have an opportunity to engage in the debate as they read an article about dress codes and study incidences involving these policies. They then design a dress code for their own school.
