Why I Hate Hoodies
<p>If I could go back in time and find the inventive and creative mind that invented this piece of warm clothing, I would cuss him like he ate the last piece of my birthday cake. I own several hoodies, and they are great on a chilly evening as preventers of goosebumps and the common cold. So stylish in many ways is this useful piece of clothing. Everybody wears them, from babies to octogenarians, but as a teacher, hoodies are a thorn in my side every day.</p>
<p>Years ago, schools weren't concerned with hoodies, but today in the era of school shootings, these are not allowed. Why? The hood obscures the face, and you can't see who it is. It could be a disgruntled parent who wants to go after a teacher or a student who doesn't attend your school. Furthermore, the vast front pocket can conceal weapons, paraphernalia, or other illegal items. Yes, students can bring things into school differently, but not allowing the hoodie can remove one layer of possibility for trouble.</p>
