Press Review Framework

Long time ago, we wrote something about dress codes.

I have just read an article on Manuel Lemps blog and it talks about dress codes.

Basically what it says is that most pupils and students from Great Britain or America have to wear school uniforms. Mr. Lemp tells us at his block about the advantages and disadvantages of dress codes.
For example dress codes are an advantage for poor families because they don't have to buy other clothes for their children.

What surprised me most was the fact that he is against dress codes. I thought that he were neutral.

I agree with the author on what he says about dress codes. Wearing the same cltothes and not the clothes what you like every day, is a stupid rule. Pupils and students would be much happier, if they could wear their own clothes and show their own style.

Dress Codes


At schools where pupils wear school uniforms, there are no differences between poor and rich. They are not as expensive as „normal clothes“, because you have to wear the same every day. At schools, where pupils wear no school uniforms, it can be very expensive. Maybe you buy every month two or three new clothes, this would be very expensive. School uniforms reduce stress at school because everybody looks like the same.


The biggest disadvantage of school uniforms is that everybody looks like the same. I would get crazy.

To my mind, dress codes are not necessary, but if you live in a poor village, school uniforms are a good measure.

St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's Day is a feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (385–461), one of the patron saints of Ireland. This day is celebrated on March 17 th . Today, it's a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and Montserrat. In Canada, Great Britain, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, St. Patricks Day is celebrated but is not an official holiday. It became a feast day in the Roman Catholic Churche in the early part of the 17th century and it is a holy day for Roman Catholics in Ireland. If St. Patrick’s Day is on a holy day like Palm Sunday like in the year 2008, it is celebrated on March 15th.

Everybody who celebrates is dressed green and drinks a lot of alcohol and there is also a lot of Irish music in pubs. On St. Patrick’s Day there is nearly everything in the colour green. For example, beer, clothes, hair and so on. In some areas there are rivers painted in green only for one day.
