**ETA: I DO NOT TAKE ISSUE WITH HER ASKING ME TO ENFORCE A SCHOOL POLICY. I TAKE ISSUE WITH HER DOING IT PUBLICLY IN FRONT OF STUDENTS.** Hey everyone. I’m just looking for some advice here. I have two students who routinely wear hats to school. I personally think the no-hat policy is silly, as long as you can see their ears to know there’s no headphones. I get that it’s a school policy so I would never tell kids that they’re *allowed* to wear hats, but I just don’t say anything if they do. I teach 5th grade so every little thing turns into an argument about policy and I personally don’t find it a policy worth defending. Today a teacher from another class comes into my room and starts loudly (in front of my students!) scolding me for not enforcing the policy. She says she’s asked these two students several times to take off their hats in school and still she sees them wearing them. If she would have approached me about this privately I would have been happy to speak with the students about it, but I didn’t know she had been asking them to take it off. I was frustrated she chose to confront me about this in front of my students. Any advice? submitted by /u/lesbie_ann [link] [comments]
