I wouldn't be bringing hats or headphones into school but I'll be damned if I have to get searched every time I come in. I really don't see what's wrong about people listening to music at school either as long as it's not in the middle of a lecture. As for hats what the hell is wrong with wearing a hat? I never understood that at all.

We were never allowed to wear hats or sunglasses in our school district (except for special "hat days"), because apparently students would use said objects to obscure their reddened whites of their eyes. However, we were always allowed to have headphones. I always came to school with a pair. You'd get them confiscated if you were caught wearing them in the halls, but I'd just use it on the walk/bus ride to/from, then keep them in my locker all day.

Whatever. Schools are always trying to make the jobs easier on the teachers, and it's understandable. They don't want to have too many distractions from their jobs, like trying to police assholes who play music in class, or try to sleep with the brim of their hat pulled over their eyes.

Sometimes they get TOO controlling, like the case of that one district in PA (I think) that used webcams in school laptops to spy on students behavior at home. That's when the parents come in and speak up about how the school is getting out of line.

Bottom line, school is for learning. That's all that parents and teachers care about, and when the kids aren't learning because of a shitty, out-of-control environment, or when schools get to authoritarian, that's when everything balances out again.

I sound like an old codger, but fuck it. I know I'm right.

we'd have to take off our shoes and put them through the scanner.

You know, this kind of shit never would have been alright when I was younger. But since this kind of shit has become the norm at airports and whatnot, more people are letting go of their freedoms. They're just taking it lying down. Everyone's so fucking paranoid of imagined threats, that they're willing to let schools subject their children to this meaningless and costly procedure.

No longer are we innocent until proven guilty; we're suspected of being guilty, subjected to investigation, and then given an insincere apology upon discovery of our innocence.

Bigger issue is what are you doing in chorus.

I don't really see the point in banning headphones or hats; they're hardly dangerous objects. But not all the threats are imagined. People in the USA are more willing to live in a state of heightened security precisely because they know that the dangers are real. We've had school shootings, from middle school on up to university. We've experienced terrorism at home and abroad. Fear shouldn't rule us, but a lot of these concerns over safety are merited.
