Hoodies should be allowed in school
March 26, 2017
An aspect about Stroudsburg School District that could be improved is the dress code. All the friends that I speak to can agree that the fact that they cannot wear hoodies is frustrating. Hoodies provide a feeling of comfort. They also keep us warm when sometimes the school is very cold from the wintry air. Almost every time I enter the cafeteria, I get very cold because the heat doesnai??i??t always turn on. Along with this, most students own a sweatshirt and they are easy to get their hands on. They donai??i??t fit inappropriately and donai??i??t pose issues.
For me personally, hoodies are a staple item and can be worn to a lot of events. They also do not look sloppy while worn with the appropriate outfit. I do not believe that banning hoodies in the dress code was a good idea. They are very comfortable and always stay in trend.

I agree as well. From my perspective, school is where students learn different subjects and learn their place in the world. For some students, it is easier to accomplish that when their hood is on.

I agree this is a violation of the freedom of speech we don’t give consent for you to take it so back off give hoodies a chance and teachers will see we want hoods for the best. Some people will misuse hoods but don’t some people misuse computers yet we are allowed to use computers during school, one chance is needed from american school districts.

Yes,I agree with you very much dress code for hoodies should be allowed in schools,Yes they are very comfortable,but that’s not the whole point to just be comfortable,There is many other things about the dress code.And just because of what happens in other schools,does not mean that every student in the school district should be punished for stupid things that stupid people do for literally for no reason at all they just have anger inside them and do not know any other dumb way to get it out of them,and teachers are always saying if we could wear whatever we wanted it would be a distraction to our homework and classwork ,But most of our homework is either online or on paper and every time we have online or paper homework we usually have hoodies,and other comfortable clothes,out of school clothes,and its never a distraction,so i do not get where there coming from its a distraction thing they say because it is not true.And honestly its so stupid that they say that.So i hope the school board sees all of these comments and disagreements of school dress code and will listen to us for once because we are all correct and we deserve to be listened to please and thank you.

I agree! Some people say hoodies are a choking hazard or an be used to head weapons but when you think about it a lot of things apply to that. ID’s can be used as a choking hazard. I see many students who rip off their friends ID’s from their neck and sometimes the ID doesn’t come off which could choke them. Also if you were dead set on bringing a weapon into school you could hide it very easily without a sweatshirt. So in my opinion banning hoodies is a dumb rule. As Jamie said hoodies supply comfort and if students are comfortable they are more eager to learn and be relaxed. If it is a stroudsburg hoodie I believe we should be able to wear it.

I agree with what Jamie is saying in this letter and I personally think we should wear hoodies as well. Hoodies keep us warm and toasty throughout the day and allows us to feel comfortable in some of the cold chilly classrooms of this school. I believe that this should be looked at once more and debated upon.

I agree in my school if you have your hood on in school you will get a lunch or after school detention and it’s not right we should be able to wear our hood on in school without getting in trouble this is a dumb rule that they need to change.
Eric Serbin on April 18th, 2017 9:37 AM
While I don’t like having this rule in place, they reason they have it isn’t because they want to inconvenience us at every turn. It’s supposed to prevent someone being able to cover their face if they want to, say, vandalize bathrooms or something along those lines
Kaden on February 8th, 2018 2:09 PM
Yes but it very rare that people vandalized the bathrooms in schools so they don’t have to worry
caleb douglas on November 16th, 2017 8:01 AM
i agree i am getting that changed by using this evidence to create a essay to get this change the little jerks want to incovienunce me ill do it to them

They make hoodies a big deal but on work out or work it day they allowed hoodies AND joggers? It’s contradicting.
Winfield Gillespie on April 3rd, 2018 12:46 PM
i Agree with Jamie because it a clothing of comfort. Also in most of my classes its very cold and uncomfortable. They say Hoodies are a choking hazard but I don’t think so. If anything Student Id’s are more of a choking hazard because of horseplay.

I am doing a Socratic seminar which is basically a debate we are talking about the topic about why we should be able to wear hoods in school. I am on the side that believes we should be able to wear our hoods in school. I am creating examples of why my statement is: (I think kid our age are going through a lot whether its a mental change or them not feeling comfortable just in a T-shirt and nothing covering their arms or if they feel like an outsider and just don’t want to get bothered about how they look or act. Plus kids our ages may be going through some changes and feel very sensitive or get mad at the smallest things. Or maybe Something is going on at home and they either hurt themselves or get hurt by others Physically or Mentally. The point is if the hoodies are not really affecting you why do you care you have no clue what’s going on just leave them alone or if they have their hoodie on they just want to learn and not talk about why they are upset to think of this way that is their way of coping and not getting mad or sad. ) That is my statement all of it is true I asked around and each part of this is a fact. that’s all I wanted to say.

it’s a violation for the first amendment saying that we are not allowed to wear them because it is a freedom and a right to wear the hat or hood in school
Crazy girl on March 26th, 2019 10:41 AM
I totally agree. It’s super irritating that we don’t get to wear hoodies in school. Oh and by the way this article and the comments were super useful for me since I’m writing an argumentative essay on this.

thank you guys for these comments. i am writing an argument about this and unfortunately, i ended up on the side that hoodies should be banned in school but i don’t think that hoodies should be banned in school because we have the right to choose what we wear and how we wear it and when we wear it. honestly i wear hoodie like every single day. i wish i was able to choose my side but my teacher assigned me a side but i agree with all of you. hoodies should not be banned in school. especially when it’s cold. anyway thanks for these comments guys they are really helpful.?

Some students wear hoods because it helps them feel more comfortable in class. A hood can act as a security blanket in this way.
Corbin Williams on May 22nd, 2019 2:08 PM
I’m also doing a essay on hoods being allowed in school. I like everyone agreeing but i wish there could be some negitivity and disagreement so it could help with my essay. keep up the good work.

Hoodies can save someone from humiliating experiences like a really bad haircut. Rather than spend the entire day being mocked for something like that you can cover it up and continue your day with no issue
Jonathan on November 1st, 2019 2:12 PM
I personally believe that this a dumb rule to the fact that we have the right to wear what we want and how. But yes they can tell you take it off but if they physically force you to do then stand up for your rights.
Enger Cosme on November 18th, 2019 11:01 AM
In the case of a hood being a choking hazard, you must consider there are many other objects, such as the brace of an I.D on your neck. The rule of not wearing hoodie should be implemented on an immature audience. It is not a dumb rule, and I say this because in a scenario of a shooting, administrators will not be able to identify the suspect on camera, etc.
