The principal, who has a Ph.D., says the new dress code will improve student behavior, so it must be true. Besides, if we don't implement the dress code, students will end up dressing inappropriately, which will lead to a decline in academic performance and ultimately ruin their futures. Therefore, anyone who disagrees with the new dress code clearly doesn't understand the importance of a good education."
