Children do not enjoy the same freedoms and responsibilities as adults.
In High School my car was searched for drugs as often as twice a week. They never found anything because there was nothing to find, of course, but the thought that no one needed a warrent to search my car because I was 16 instead of 18 disgusted me. I never parked on campus, but they were allowed to search my car none the less. I spoke out when several faculty members decided that evolution was going to take a back seat to creationism. Not only wasn't I heard, but I was suspended for putting together a petition to fix the curriculum. When I was maybe 14 or 15, I asked my dad why I couldn't vote yet. He explained that children weren't responsible or mature enough to vote. I argued that many adults were irresponsible and immature, but they were allowed to vote. There are limits to how much freedom minors can exercise.
As far as the comparison to a dress code at work...are you legally required to go to your job? Will a truency officer hunt you down if you don't go to work? If you don't like the dress code at your job, then you can find another job. If you don't like your school's dress code, that's too bad.
