The Concept of "Urbanidad"
For two terms now, I have prohibited the wearing of slippers in my classes. I hope to hear the thoughts of my students about this. Please give your honest opinion on this topic. Kindly click the link to the article - The Concept of "Urbanidad". I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you. --mavic pineda

I think that this is another issue on balance. Exercising your right, as well as being aware of the moral and ethical values. Well, I would just put it this way: If it is pleasing in the eyes of God and it does not destroy my right as a person, why not follow it? I bet it is for my own good :)

funny i should read this today. :) i visited my high school this afternoon to see a friend. :) naturally, i was wearing casual clothes - a t-shirt, jeans, and flip-flops. :) it was only when i was already walking around inside the campus that i realized i was actually wearing flip-flops! momentarily thrown and ashamed, i debated leaving as soon as i had the chance, before any more teachers and administrative personnel saw me. :) actually, we have a school uniform in our high school, so flip-flops were, as far as i know, never explicitly banned. :) but i guess there was something about flip-flops + school that didn't quite sound right to me. :)
im not saying im for the prohibition of slippers in dlsu. :) on the contrary, i was happy when the dress code was lifted. :) so why was i bothered when i realized i was wearing flip-flops in my high school? :) i guess there's just this distinction that i place between a grade school and a university. :) in the former, there are certain unbreakable rules and violating them would invariably get you suspended or otherwise punished. :) in the university, i like to think that there is a general air of freedom and empowerment, an unspoken trust between the student and the university that the student is already responsible enough to refrain from doing things that might hinder his/her own or the other students' academic and personal development. :) and although i understand the arguments behind the prohibition of slippers (and am not entirely averse to following such rules), with all due respect, i believe that it does not in any way affect the students' ability or capacity to learn in the university. :) consequently, i think the kind of footwear that students wear to school is immaterial and should not be taken against them. :)
I think the idea is good , it tends to discipline me because i am very lazy in wearing shoes...hehe, despite this I think the concept of urbanidad is very nice because it tends to discipline us. =) Like on the streets, people are very hard headed and disobey almost all the rules on the rule book.

Even though the concept of urbanidad is good, I don't think that we should take the freedom of students to wear slippers. The strict rules regarding our outfit in high school and grade school already disciplined us. So I think that it is unnecessary to still restrict us from what to wear in college because we are already aware on how to dress accordingly in places. For example, when going to offices, we already know that we must wear shoes, they no longer need to dictate that we should not wear slippers. That is because we are already disciplined to dress accordingly. In college, it's not necessary to always wear shoes, in fact we must wear does which we feel comfortable with. I think if we feel comfortable we would learn much better. As long as it doesn't offend others I think it's alright to exercise our freedom in wearing what we want.
