Should Children Wear Hats at School?

I believe that you should always wear a hat at school when you are playing outside, to stop you from getting sunburn.

Argument 1:

Firstly, if you don’t wear a hat, you will get sunburn ant the sunburn is painful.

In my opinion all school students should wear hats.
