Most PE teachers that I know require that students change before class, some even use it as an attendance policy. Now while I do feel it is best that students dress in comfortable cloths in order to better participate, I don't think students should be penalized for not wearing gym cloths. As long as it is not a safety hazard I think that students should be able to wear what they want. As long as they are comfortable and it doesn't take away from them being physically active then it shouldn't be an issue. I would like to know where people stand on this issue. Thanks |

Focusing on the dress code situation in schools, i think it should be mandatory for students to wear appropiate clothing e.g shorts, t-shirt, trainers etc) to participate in P.E. lessons. This should also count for participation points but not to the extent where if a student forgets their gym kit they should not be allowed to participate, they just don't get the point for that day depending on how the teacher had asked the students to dress for the particular activity. |

I feel there should be a dress uniform in P.E. classes, and there should be points awarded for dressing out; by the same token students that can not afford the uniform should be given a optional clothing attire and not be penalized. As long as the child is participating, isn't the objective to get all the students physical active? |

We require students to change for PE class and it is a part of their grade. Not only are we teaching them how to be physically active we also teach them about personal hygeine. If a student doesn't change they are still required to take class but they lose a few points toward their grade. We have a locker with sneakers that come in every size and a locker with extra clothes. When they borrow clothes they put them in the laundry basket and I do the laundry. In order to borrow sneakers they must have socks (I have extra of these too). Everyone, everyday takes PE no excuses. |

They change to be wearing appropriate clothes. Girls may wear shirts which barely come to their waist, and boys may wear jeans that can't stay around their waist. Are they comfortable? The student will say yes. Do they pose a safety hazard? No, as long as pockets are empty and belts are taken out. But do they pose a problem? Yes! We can't have our boys and girls wear these clothes for Physical Education.
Another issue is hygiene. Boys and girls sweat. You will be missing a huge aspect of your curriculum if you allow them to wear street clothes in PE. |

My train of thought behind uniforms in the classroom is simple. If their attire is acceptable for the activity then they are good to go, but if their dress will interfere or be unsafe then there is a problem. I would use a dress policy in my class because I feel that may eliminate problems that could come from not having a policy. |
