With snow falling today on March 10th, 2017 most students will be walking into the school wearing a winter hat. Hats have been a controversial topic here at Whitman Hanson. Many wish to be able to express themselves through their outfits, which include hats.
Personally, I wear hats everywhere and wish to wear them to school. Other schools in the south shore allow their students to wear hats during school hours, so why can't Whitman Hanson? This policy is in our hand book under section VII. "Student Expectation Information". Under the dress code portion of this section #8 states, "Hats and coats or outside jackets must be left in lockers during the school day. Hats are defined as any head covering". This leads me to ask, whats so bad about head covering? I understand if a hat that a student would be wearing is inappropriate they must take it off, but if its harmless why can't we enjoy the accessory during school. Many students do not agree with this policy. Morgan Thomas, sophomore, argues "I think hats should be allowed in school. They are not really making an issue by wearing them. They keep people warm and look cute". I absolutely agree with Morgan. Hats should be allowed in school in order to instill a welcoming environment with students being able to express themselves more.
