Mr Rahman insisted that I removed my beret today. I have no idea why he insisted upon this. My beret is not dangerous. I have never known it to attack someone. It doesn’t have a logo on which could advertise a company or product (we’re allowed to advertise Sony though). It doesn’t have the words “I’m a Nazi” written on it anywhere (I was careful to check before buying it). It doesn’t go against any of the school rules. It isn’t a baseball cap. It isn’t affiliated with yobbish behavior.
In fact, all it does it keep my head warm.
And make me look amazingly cool.
So why stop me wearing it?
There isn’t a reason. They are just taking more individuality away from me.
Toot Hill School. I am a good pupil. I get good grades. I get you good press. I am polite to your staff. I keep an eye on the little kids. I contribute to extracurricular activities.
So leave me alone!
