Should Dress Codes be Enforced in Schools

I think that teachers should have a dress code right along with their students. Some teachers might think the same but I know that some don't either. " Having an enforced dress code made our envirornment look more professional. You shouldn’t arrive at school dressed like you are going to the grocery store on the weekend or out on a hot date.  http://www.cta.org/en/Professional-Development/Publications/2012/09/September-Educator-2012/Dress-Code.aspx People  live  in  areas where teachers are under attack about how much money they  make. If we are expected to spend a portion of our income on fancy clothes that might otherwise go to rent or food or basic needs,"states Aimee Downer  an English teacher at Raymond Cree Middle School and a member of the Palm Springs Teachers Association.  I agree with her, she makes alot of good and well stated facts that I and I am sure alot of other people agree with. You can't just wear any darned thing ,you have to look serious and suffisticated about your job.

Gif Lockley thinks otherwise. "I was shocked," says Lockley, principal of Eastover Elementary in Charlotte. "Ooh, it was scary."  In an increasing number of schools across the USA, those young women emulating Britney Spears aren't her preteen fans but a slightly more mature bunch: their teachers.That's extremely shocking to people who shops for and wears other designer brands like Gucci or Coach. Shockingly, it's up to individual principals to decide whether tattoos and tank tops constitute "professional."Some principals even tried to institute basic dress codes for teachers, but they just bat them down.
"Who are these people dressing to impress anyways? Hopefully not a 5-, 6- or 7-year-old child"Says says Lotowycz, who reports that nearly a third of her 70 staff members regularly raid Britney's closet"They have to get themselves out of the preteen department and into the professional department." http://www.usatoday.com/life/2003-08-20-dress-code_x.htm  These statements and opinions show that some, not all, but some teachers or anbody needs to get out of dressing and buying imature clothing and dress appropriatley for their jobs.
