In Hillel Yeshiva High School, there are many problems, but the cornerstone of all these problems come from the main problem, which is peoples' clothes. Everyone spends more time focusing on how other people look - they barely think about schoolwork. Also, a lot of people get put down by other people because they don't like their choice in clothing.
The school's solution to this problem is ridiculous. The school's solution is that the students have a dress code to follow, but the code is so loose that there is still a wide range of clothing that the students can choose from; therefore the problems still exist.
My solution to this problem is quite simple but will be highly effective. I believe that no students in Hillel should wear clothes at all. Think about it -- not 1 of the 200 students of Hillel will be focusing on any side subjects. Every student would be completely focused on their schoolwork. The students who got made fun of won't be teased any more because there's no difference between students. This gentlemen who I trust completely and is very educated told me that they tried this method in a school he went to, and that the average GPA of the school went up 10% - from 85s across the board to 95s. A tremendous bump in a school with over 500 students shows that in a school with 200 students and an average of 80 should go up to an average of 100, as this solution has no problems.
Some might argue that clothes are part of someones personality, and a part of who they are, but I don't beleive this is true - if two people wore the same thing, they aren't the same person. I don't think there is a positive purpose of clothing, so nobody should ever need to wear it.

Hahahaha miss hillel, but id miss it so much more if jesse made the rules. But Sorry Jesse, i cant disagree more. What you seem to be proposing is to get rid of one minor distraction while at the same time make a different, very big, distraction so much greater. If everyone else were walking around naked there would be distractions right in your face all of the time. Although it would be pretty nice for other reasons, it certainly will not help in gettng your average up. Also id like to point out that your statement: "The students who got made fun of won't be teased any more because there's no difference between students." is false. Some just arent as big.
