Video Essay

As a group we did our project around the hat rule at Groves. As of now students are not allowed to wear hats to school, furthermore having a hood on isn't allowed either. Myself and my fellow group members felt this rule was unjust and we wanted to investigate through our video project why this rule was in place. We interviewed various students and administrators such as Mrs. Hurley to find out if students want to wear hats to school and the reasoning behind this rule. we also gave a survey out to 50 random kids to determine the popularity in being able to wear hats in school. Throughout our project we determined there were no concrete or just reason to defer students the opportunity to wear hats in school. The administration argued that school is a professional environment so hats shouldn't be allowed, but the dress code allows students to wear slippers and sweatpants, which is far from professional. I really enjoyed focusing on the hat rule issue at Groves High School and hopefully our project will allow a push to be made to change the rule.
