In both the 8/9 and the high school there are a lot of rules but one with a lot of opinions is that people are allowed to wear hats but not hoods. One of the main reasons why we can’t wear hoods is because of the fact that when we wear hoods the faces of the hoods are hidden better and if there's a shooting then we can’t see the face.
Personally I think this is a weird rule. It's understandable but still it’s an annoying rule . “Hoods hide your identity and hats help you stay away from the heat.” says Beckett Van Why. There are a lot of different opinions on the matter. Some think that you can wear hats but not hoods is weird and annoying, others think it is a good idea.
Other people don’t care for this and still want hoods in the school. One of the main reasons is the fact that if they have a bad hair day sometimes a hat won’t cut it. They might want to wear a hood but can’t because hoods aren't allowed and a lot of people get mad at it. “How I feel about people who can wear a hat but not hoods. I feel it is unfair because you can see their face but a lot of people go with hoods instead of hoods so why is there a rule that you can wear hats but not hoods?” Kaitlynn Manz says.
still wear hoods in the school and most of the time teachers tell kids to take them off but still kids don’t really care and some teachers are getting annoyed by this. If we just allow hoods then there wouldn't be a problem. I think that if we wear hats we should also be able to wear hoods but at the same time I know where they are coming from. They just want to keep our school safe.
