I don’t think I will ever understand the fashion of wearing hoodies — with the hood pulled firmly over the head — in the heat of summer. One of our neighbor’s sons was doing yard work the other day wearing a hoodie. It was ninety degrees; it was a full, thick hoodie and not one of those fashionable cooling hoodies that have come on the market in the last few years. A long-sleeve, thick hoodie in ninety-degree weather.
I have students who, when they can’t wear hoodies (dress code violation), wear sweatshirts in class. When my air conditioning in the classroom was out the first week of school, they complained about how hot it was. While wearing sweatshirts.
