While walking through the halls of Wayne Hills High School, there are often students walking around with hats, even though there is school rule against wearing hats. This brings up an interesting debate: is there a problem with wearing a hat in an indoor, public vicinity? Many people have different takes on this question. Some believe that wearing a hat indoors is informal and an act of laziness. There is an abundance of people who feel that taking off a hat before entering a public domain is a sign of proper manners and a respectful attitude.  A student who wishes to be anonymous added, “Hats are a potential danger to the school because they can hide one’s identity, which is a major security concern.”

On the contrary, Jason Reiser, a sophomore, thought about the positives of allowing students to wear hats in school, claiming, “Hats are a fun and stylish way to express yourself.”

Many people wear hats as a piece of fashion, another way to express themselves and what they like. Others may find that throwing on a hat before going out the door is a life saver if they did not comb or brush their hair properly.
