The thing that always got me was wearing hats in school. I was so jealous because I loved hats and every show and movie had kids wearing them in school, but we weren't allowed to. I used to wonder if it was just the area I lived in that was strict about hats.

I remember that, too, yeah.

I can't remember if it was a hard and fast rule about no hats at our school, but I think at the very least they were frowned upon.

I remember getting to college, wearing hats to class, and wondering what all the fucking fuss was about in high school. Nobody cared.

I think it was a control thing, or a uniformity thing, or a formality thing...all of which are pretty flimsy reasons. Or maybe it was just "because that's the way it is/has always been" since it seems to be a pretty common rule in high schools in the US.

When my mom was in school, she told me about how girls weren't allowed to wear pants to school, regardless of the time of year it was (and she grew up in Iowa, so you can imagine how uncomfortable it'd be wearing skirts in the wintertime when you're heading off to or from school).

Fortunately, by the time she got to sixth grade, they changed that stupid rule.

The reasons we were told were: 1. They could block someone's view if you're sitting in front of them while wearing a hat and 2. Too much of a distraction because they can be taken off and played with, tossed around, grabbed off someone's head as a joke, etc.

Decent reasons in theory I guess, but they sounded like worst-case scenarios that probably weren't likely to really happen too often.
