Dear Birmingham Covington School,

Dear Mr. Morawski,

Hello, my name is Kylee H and I have a problem with my school BCS.

Sometimes kids at my school get dress-coded for no reason at all. In the spring and summertime girls wear shorts and tank tops and most of the time they get dress-coded even when they're following the guidelines. One time somebody I know got dress-coded by a teacher for wearing a tank top that was three fingers thick and if girls wear spaghetti straps they get dress-coded but if they wear a three finger thick tank top they are fine. She got dress-coded for "showing her shoulders" and had wear borrowed clothes.(March 17, 2014) 

People wear what they wear to express themselves like jean shorts they are happy they could be short but it expresses their feelings and it makes them happy. As long as they are not short shorts I am ok withany type of summer wear. If the shorts are as short as your underwear that is not ok. 

Dress coding someone should not be ok if it is not needed but if its needed like when you can see underwear you can do it but it does not have a purpose don't do it. It would make kids much more happy because they would not have to worry about getting in trouble everyday for wearing what they wear.

Dress coding is sexist because the girls dress code is decided by how boys feel.

Sincerely,

Kylee H

4/3/14 @ Home A sneak peek at my essay

On  Christmas  everyone  gets  presents,  on  Easter  everyone  gets  eggs, but  on  Halloween  night  I  lose  something  close  to  me.

The day of Halloween is being happy, getting candy and dressing up as someone else. I was like the typical 5th grader happy, pappy and the candy crazy child. When I got home from my candy filled day at school my parents looked so gloom their faces were down and saggy and it looked like they have been crying.

So track is starting after break and I am so exited but I am nervous at the same time. A lot of my friends are doing track like Helen, I'Yana, Lydia, Fiona and others. Right now we all are getting in shape because of winter that got all of us out of shape. We have been telling each other what we have been doing for training so far we are running, biking and so on. We all are going to do this together and we are gonna rock it. During break we all are going track shopping for shoes and shorts and all of that good stuff. Track is going to be fun. 

4/1/14 @ Home

Well I have nothing to write about AGAIN! Well right now I'm OOVOOING Helen and Cory and we are talking to Helen's brother talking about homework and watching Cory's kitty play. Helen is looking at pictures and having a great time.
