Students of Fontbonne Hall believe that they should be allowed to wear their jackets or sweaters in class during the colder seasons. Many students have disagreed with the rules of taking jackets off once they get to class due to the temperatures.
Students of all grades don’t believe the rule to take off extra layering is necessary. If the students are in full uniform a jacket shouldn’t be a prioritized problem. Although we are allowed to wear scarves that are school colored, scarves are not as heavy as needed to be sometimes.
Sophia Lopez ‘22 believes the school should let us wear our jackets. She points out that this is a problem “especially because we're sitting inside and the heating doesn’t always work.” Lopez also states “we switch in between classes so we shouldn’t be worried about wearing jackets.”
When Alison Kienzle ‘22 was asked about her opinion if students should be allowed to wear jackets inside she said “Yes especially with Covid the teachers have all the doors and windows open so it’s cold.” Since the school has to follow strict Covid regulations, many doors and windows are open throughout the day, letting in cold weather and causing students to want to wear their jackets more often.
When students of all other grades were asked they all agreed that the jacket rules should be “less strict.” This includes grades from freshwoman to senior year. So it’s safe to say more than majority of the students believe students should be allowed to wear jackets indoors.
Mr. Haughwout also has an opinion on the restriction. “I respect the dress code policies, but I worry that students may struggle to focus in class if they are uncomfortable from being too cold from the classroom temperature.”
Although many students disagree with the rule of taking jackets off once you get into class, many students are open to regulating the rule. They believe a fair mandate would be in order to wear a jacket inside it would have to be school colors or a school-affiliated piece of clothing.
