- I have my diploma and so I don't have to
follow dress codes, I can wear what I want.
(upbeat music)
- Hi I'm Reggie and I'm a teen.
- Hey I'm Joyce and I'm an adult.
- Hi my name's Ryan and I am not a teen anymore.
- Hi my name's Elijah and I am a teen
and today we are doing true or false dress code.
- He just threw that teen thing in my face
and it makes me feel old and I don't
appreciate it, that's great. - It's okay, that's true.
- Well, dress codes I really feel like
are made for people who are a little small.
Like I'm a tall woman so I feel like all the dress codes
that would work for girls that are shorter
just didn't really work for me.
- I went to a private school for a little bit.
- Me too. - Yeah, so you understand it.
- I had a dress code, yeah.
- After that I didn't have anything that really affected me.
- It's more just for women. - Mmhm.
- Like, can't show your shoulders, no crop tops.
The only time it should be really enforced
if you're just exposing yourself.
- Being a teen, I'm probably gonna be better
at this than good old Ryan over here.
- I don't like that confidence.
- I think I'm gonna totally fail at this.
- Yeah because I was in school more recently.
- But you don't know about college yet, young boy.
- Let's do it. - Yes.
(upbeat music)
- In my school we couldn't wear jeggings.
- Like, I'm pretty sure in Georgia you have to like
wear an Amish skirt, so I'm gonna say false.
- True. - I believe that, true.
(buzzing)
- All right!
- Wait, this is a competition, so no.
- Yeah, that's a dress.
- What kinda shirt goes to your knees?
- That's like a triple triple X.
- Oh maybe that's what it is.
Like Georgia, like Atlanta, it's like rapper style.
You have to wear Halsey. - But still who's buying that?
(upbeat music)
- This feels like a weird rule,
and it feels so weird that I guess it's true.
- I feel like it's one of those
things that's meant to trick you.
- False, wouldn't California love California?
- How you gonna be in California
and not be able to wear California apparel?
- I'm gonna go true.
- I'm gonna go, not because you went true,
but I'm gonna go true because I feel like--
- So he's copying off me, basically.
- I'm definitely not.
(dinging)
- What?
Okay, I'm gonna fail this.
- It's at a point where the answers are opposite.
- Nice. - Cool.
- It's one to one.
- That makes no sense, if you live in California
why can't you wear anything about California?
- I would like to know the reason behind it.
- Yeah, I wanna know who's making up these dress codes.
So two to one, all right cool.
- It's not, you can't just take points away.
- I just did. - That's not how this works.
(upbeat music)
- So this seems like it's a rule protecting students to-
- Right, express themselves. - Express themselves.
- I would say false, but true.
- It sounds like it's too good to be true.
- I'm gonna say false 'cause I feel like it's true.
- I'm gonna say false because I think
it's too progressive of a rule.
- I'm gonna go true.
- And I don't think that's true.
God, I'm wrong aren't I?
- [Producer] Final answers?
- No, I'm gonna say true.
- Oh my God. - You can change the test.
It's fine, this isn't the ACT.
(dinging)
- Let's go, let's go.
- No I'm correct. - I'm also correct.
- Yeah, this would only happen in California.
- It wouldn't happen in Utah. - Hell no.
- You changed your answer.
- That's because it's 2019.
I had to take myself out of my school experience
and put myself into the mind of a teen today.
- I don't respect him, I think he's just cheating off me.
- It doesn't matter, you have to respect your elders.
That is in the Bible, I think.
(upbeat music)
- It's Hawaii. - I'm going false.
'Cause you gonna think it's Hawaii,
you gonna be like, "Okay, they can wear a swimsuit."
But realistically, it's still school.
- As long as you're wearing a one piece swimsuit
you're good to go. - False.
- You think it's false, in Hawaii?
- You can't wear shoulders in normal schools,
why do you think just 'cause you're in Hawaii
you can wear just a bikini?
- You right.
- 'Cause you can go straight from class to the beach.
- It doesn't matter dude, you're in school.
- You know, you take a surf's up
during lunch - It's just like wearing a bra
- What if you have to surf to your next passing?
I don't know how schools work in Hawaii.
- I think they work as regular schools.
- I don't know about that.
- I think there's hallways, you gotta walk, you don't swim.
- I don't agree with the young one.
- True or false, it's a weird one it's true.
(buzzer)
- Wow look at this young buck teaching me things.
- I know my stuff.
- Fudge, I can't curse. - I knew it.
It had to be false, you're in school.
- If I was in Hawaii I'd be like surfs up dude.
I'm going for lunch.
(upbeat music)
- What so you just have to have like a buzz cut.
- They're basically saying you can't have hair in that.
- Yeah there were so many rules.
- You can't have hair, you can't put up your hair.
- Oh yeah Texas, I believe it, it's true.
- Rat-tails.
- That's the George Bush state.
- I feel like that seems so extreme.
- Yeah that's really, especially 'cause it's hot in Texas.
- No you're not wrong, like it might be true.
I'm gonna say false though it seems too extreme.
It seems way too extreme. - You're going false?
I'll go true.
(dinging)
(laughing)
- I'm so upset.
- You was alive when George Bush was--
- Man, come on.
(laughing)
- I feel like there's just so many things
that there's no way to keep track of that.
Like I feel like someone's constantly
breaking that rule. - There's no way.
'Cause what if a student transferred
into your school and has long hair?
- Or colored hair 'cause it also
says you can't dye your hair.
- I guarantee people in that school don't have hair.
- What year?
- The year I was born?
- Yeah
- '98.
- Wow!
(upbeat music)
- Wow, that's kind of messed up.
- I feel like that's true, though.
- I believe it.
- Yeah, it's Oregon.
- Exactly.
- Oh, witches, okay. Got it.
- Witches? (laughs)
- Wait, wrong Salem. Right?
- (Producer) Wrong Salem.
- Wrong Salem - Wrong Salem
- This feels like a very targeted
set of rules - Yeah, yeah it feels like
it was placed to stop something.
- Whoa, and also just targeted towards
people of color. I think I'm gonna say false.
- I'm gonna say true on this one.
(dinging)
- Man, you are really losing here
- I just--
- Things are not looking up for you.
- People are like,
what do you think about Oregon Joyce, but like
- What's in Oregon?
- Portland. That's where people get coffee
and they're hipsters and they're rich.
But they can't say "homies."
(upbeat music)
- Modest makeup.
- I'm just still over the name Cookeville.
- The sign's right.
Modestly, that scares me - That sounds like something
Tennessee would do.
- So like no crazy eyeshadow, no crazy lip colors.
Like I imagine if you wore read to school,
like a red lip, they'd be like,
Scarlet Letter - Take that off.
- Have you read The Crucible? Is that where that-
- (Producer) Scarlet Letter - Scarlet Letter
Is that the name of the book too?
Whoo! I've been out of school for 10 years
(laughing)
- That diplomas lookin' healthy is it?
(laughing)
I promise I graduated high school.
- I believe you, I really do. I'm gonna say false.
- I'm gonna say it's true.
- You're gonna say it's true - I'm gonna be wrong aren't I?
(dinging)
(popping)
- What's the score?
- (Producer) I think you're-
- (Crew Member) Elijah has one ahead
- Yes!
- No, okay, calm down.
- Modestly. What does that mean?
So if it like turns on a T-Shirt, I could get in trouble.
- I feel like especially today, with makeup
tutorials being so popular, it's--
- That's a weird rule to place.
Because someone is gonna want to try something new.
- Although, I'm just saying maybe if
people's makeup wasn't so ridiculous,
I would know where Salem is.
(upbeat music)
- I believe it.
- I mean
- That's like every high school though
- Yeah I feel like that--
- They just made it sound different way with 3 B's.
- Ew, do they have to repeat it?
No bare breasts, no bare bottom and no bare bellies.
Oh god.
- That seems like a true rule. - I'm gonna say true, yeah.
- Cause I feel like crop tops,
and then like no short shorts
and like probably like no low-cut tops.
That's how it is in high school.
- Where's this at again?
- (Producer) Montana - Montana
- Montana? Yeah I feel like - Yeah
They, I mean what, they just ride horses in Montana.
(dinging)
- I'm assuming that rule was made, again to not
distract young people,
cause it's just always just young men.
But I feel like we should be
encouraging students to pay attention.
Cause I feel like instead of shaming the person
for their body, let's teach people to pay attention.
- That's a life lesson right there everyone.
- That's what a diploma does.
- I'm just weirded out that they made
children say the word breast.
(upbeat music)
- Arkansas is very close to Missouri,
so I'm like, I've met an Arkansan
- Arkansan, yeah that's what they call themselves
- You, where you from?
- I'm from California. - Oh
- But I'm reading a book right now
and they call themselves Arkansans.
- Arkansans. Wow, you read?
- Yeah, Arkansans, Kansans.
- Teens read?
- So no tanktops basically.
- Cause I know some, if there's spaghetti straps
like it shows off their entire nipple right there
and no one wants to see that.
It's really not attractive.
Guys, if you're doing that, stop doing that now.
- I believe it.
- Why not? - Wait, where is this again?
- (Producer) This is in Arkansas.
- Yep.
- So I'm gonna say true.
- I'm gonna say true too,
yeah that seems like it'll be a thing.
(buzzer)
- Wow, okay - Super trash
Why would you specify that to women and not to men?
- Yeah - That's crazy
- So guys can wear whatever they want, but girls can't
- Yeah
- Wow, Arkansas, do better. But then again, Arkansas.
(upbeat music)
- Basically like be responsible for
what you are paying attention to.
- Yeah, for your own actions.
- I want this to be true
I think it's close to Chicago
so it'll be fairly progressive.
- In Illinois?
- See, that was so complex, I felt like it's true.
Nobodies gonna make that up.
- I'm gonna go with the young one.
(dinging)
- Sick - Okay
All that matters is that I won.
- Okay
- Whoo! I think we did pretty well.
- Everyone should be responsible
for paying attention on their own
- How do you feel about dress codes?
- Keep schools in power, keep people in check
- I feel like a lot of them are like--
- Ridiculous - And old
I feel like these are things that just never went away.
- The California and California wearing stuff
that made no sense - Yeah
- Their hair
- Oh yeah, the guy's hair stuff, or hair in general
- That was surprising - That was crazy to me
- I feel like there should definitely
be guidelines that like for sanitary reasons,
you should be free to express yourself
- I agree
- But I also think we shouldn't be as intense
on one gender compared to another.
I think everything should be equal
and I think we should also take in poeple's
body shapes into consideration.
