Reflection paragraph on sources

I wasnt successful at finding my sources, because I couldnt go to barely any websites that most of my posts relied on so my blogger isnt the best out of anybodys. But my blogger looks and sounds complimentary. The most trustworthy source is the 'Preliminary links and descriptions'. The most useful source is the 'Photo, caption, and citation'.

Reflection paragraph on process

In my search I felt that I was going to learn a lot about the school dress code, but I didnt learn as much as I thought I would. I think the hardest thing on this search is the 'Quote, paraphrase, and citations' just beacause I couldnt find anything for it. The easiest thing would have to be the 'Wordle'. I disliked the 'Quote, paraphrase, and citation' the most because it took me so long to find something to cite on. The thing I like the most would be the Animoto, because we got to make a video. If I had this project again i know what i would do differently...I would not do school dress code, all because it was really hard to find everything.

Reflection paragraph on findings

I learned alot from my search, like students can only wear sunglasses in school with a doctors permission. I do still have some questions like, why can't we wear pajama pants at school?, it makes no sense. But this search has still helped me out a lot. It helped more than i thought. I still disagree with some of the dress code rules though, because they dont make no sense.

Finding paragraph #3

You cant wear booty shorts to school. Its against the school rules, but most students LOVE it, which i dont blame them for that at least theyre not gay if they aint looking at a guy wearing booty shorts. Booty shorts show way too much leg/skin. You never know your butt cheek may fall out and you wont even know. To teachers wearing them is inappropriate.

Finding paragraph #2

Showing cleavage is against dress codes. It shows too much of the girls skin that shouldnt be shown. Why would you want people looking at your breasts anyways. Students don't want to look at it espeacially if your running, well i want to see but some kids don't.

Finding paragraph #1

Sagging is against the school/dress code. For one, sagging shows your boxers and why would you want to do that. For two, nobody in the school would want to see the boxers your wearing. For the more important reason its against school rules and dress codes.

Quote, paraphrase, and citation #5

A new bill, introduced by Democratic Rep. Hazelle Rogers,  unanimously passed the Florida House of Representatives’ K-20 Education Innovation Subcommittee last week.  The bill is designed to end “wearing clothing that exposes underwear or body parts in an indecent or vulgar manner.” The “pro-education, pro-jobs, pro-family legislation is designed to teach our children how important appropriate attire is to future success,”  Rogers said in a press release. Democratic Sen. Gary Siplin introduced companion legislation called the “Code of Student Conduct.” “When you come to an interview with your pants sagging or your underwear showing, you may get an interview, but as soon as you leave, your application is going to get tossed in the garbage,” Siplin said.

A women talk about a bill. It should stop exposed underwear.

The 1960s didn't start out with colorful clothes. They were dully designed and looked better on older people. Then little shops called boutiques opened selling cheap and colorful clothing for younger people. During the decade, women started wearing mini skirts, leather boots and fake eyelashes. Men wore Paisley shirts, velvet trousers and high collared Regency jackets. Men also began to wear their hair long.

It tells how we used to dress or how other people used to dress. They didnt start off wearing colorful clothes.

The 1960s didn't start out with colorful clothes. They were dully designed and looked better on older people. Then little shops called boutiques opened selling cheap and colorful clothing for younger people. During the decade, women started wearing mini skirts, leather boots and fake eyelashes. Men wore Paisley shirts, velvet trousers and high collared Regency jackets. Men also began to wear their hair long. 
1960-1962 - At this time, there was a carry over from the 50's, including the "bouffant" look. A "bouffant" look is a dress where the top part is tight and the skirt of the dress puffs out. The popular hairstyle was a beehive, where they tease their hair and piled it high on their head. Another look during this time was the beatnik. The beat look included black berets, black slacks (tight for women) and dark glasses. Women wore float shoes while men wore sandals. Women wore dark eye makeup. 

1963 - Cardin designed the Beatles suits which became popular for men. The suit had a single breasted collarless jacket and slim pants. Mary Quant started her own label, and is responsible for designing mini skirts, colored tights, and wet look vinyl fashions. 

1964 - Space age clothing starts to become popular. Different materials were used such as discs of metal or plastic linked together with wire. Leather is also used. Metallic or neon colors were involved. 

1965 - Mini skirts become much shorter. Op art becomes more popular. Optic trick using contrasting colors with black and white to make a sort of optical illusion. 

1966 - Psychedelic clothing is now a hit. Colors (acid colors) are brighter and bolder. Men begin to dress "fancy". 

1967 - Ethnic fashions begins to spread. The ethnic look is clothing picked up from other cultures. The Oriental look and the African/Middle Eastern looks were both port of the ethnic fashion. 

1968-1969 - Skirts begin to lengthen out, along with hair. The "Hippie look" is now popular. The women wore long floor length dresses and skirts called maxies. Men continued to grow their hair longer. Hippiesdecorated everything, including painting their bodies. 

It shows a timeline of how fashion has changed over time. Its changed a lot as you see.

Quote, paraphrase, and citation #3

Places where I think that cleavage is inappropriate would be: church, a job interview, and work especially if you are a teacher or a nurse cuz you do a lot of leaning over and you could give your patient a heart attack or the student would completely ignore what you are teaching and focus on the "boobs".
The places you should be showing cleavage is the places most people say you shouldnt. Its just respectful to hide it at those places. If you do it at school a student is going to be more worried about the cleavage than there work well if its a boy...i hope.

Quote, paraphrase, citation #2

You have the right to elect to not attend that public school and to attend a private school instead if you don't like the rules. That's what makes us not a communist country where they don't have that same right. That is essentially the extent of your rights in this regard. You do not ever have the right to disrupt the learning process - either your own or others. Wearing sunglasses indoors without a medical reason disrupts your ability to learn. If you don't agree, get your doctor to write a prescription for them. I'm certain that this teacher has nothing better to do each day than to harass you about your sun glasses. I bet you really are that important in her world. Aren't you full of yourself?How's this for "your rights" in this case. It would be a violation of the existing public education laws for this teacher to allow you to wear your s unglasses in her classroom without a prescription from your ophthalmologist to do so. Just as violate as if she allowed you to beat yourself in the head with a hammer. Classrooms are ergonomically designed to be lighted such that the wearing of sunglasses without medical necessity would hamper your ability to visualize the environment. Does your physician believe that you should wear sunglasses indoors? How about your parents, do they think it's needed? Yeah, I thought not.

The person tells why you do not need sunglasses at school. Especially if your not supposed to be wearing them at all in the first place. And if you dont agree with it then talk to your doctor for a prescription.

Quote, paraphrase, and citation #1

Sagging is a manner of wearing trousers (slacks, shorts, pants or jeans) below the waist, hanging below the waist area and therefore revealing much of the underwear. Sagging is predominantly a male fashion. Women wearing low-rise jeans to reveal their G-string underwear (the "whale tail") is not generally considered sagging.

It talks about what sagging is and where it was originated. G-strings are not generally considered sagging. its mainly a male fashion which means mainly guys do it.

What i want to know about my topic

I want to know why dress codes are being restricted, because there are some on the dress code i really dont understand why. I want to know who the person is to decide the dress code...is it the principle or do the teachers have a meeting to decide what should be a dress code. What are common punishments for violating dress codes?....Why cant we wear pajama pants to school?....Why cant we wear hats or anything like that at school?....Why cant we wear sunglasses or stunna shades?....Why cant we wear booty shorts to school?

What I already know about my topic

I know that the dress code involves everything that you cannot wear and can wear. Its says no sagging your pants or shorts so that means keep your pants at waist level. And it says you can wear picks or combs in your hair that goes for hats, durags, and beanies as well. The student hanbook also says you cannot wear your pajama pants to school or lounge pants and you cant wear bedroom slippers, shower slippers or anything like that. You have to wear clothes that are appropriate for school so you cant wear shirts or anything that has anything to do with violence, guns, sex, gangs, drugs or alcohol, it cant even resemble any of that either. You have to have your pants or shorts buttoned and zipped at all times. Your not allowed to wear your sunglasses around school unless your outside.

The story behind my topic

I chose this topic because most students hate the dress code we have. Ive been told plenty of times to pull my pants up, but i mean i understand that rule. Its the stupid dress code rules like, no wearing pajamas, i dont understand why you cant wear pajamas its juss like gym shorts. And the school wont allow you to wear bedroom slippers, thats the same thing as sperry's pretty much. The student hanbook says "No see-through garments of any kind are permitted. Other clothing worn under see-through garments does not make the see-through garments permissble." I dont agree with that because if you have something up under the see-through garment it really shouldnt matter especially if its some kind of shirt but you should be able to wear a tank top underneath it if its at least 3 fingers wide. I dont understand why we cant have holes above the knees. If the hole dont show skin then it shouldnt matter if you do or not.
