Allow Wrist Bands at the Gregg

We are concerned about attempts to prohibit the wearing of charity wristbands at the Gregg School, Southampton, UK.

Wristbands offer an oppurtunity for pupils to express themselves as individuals, something which has previously been encouraged at the school. Wristbands are an important part of raising awareness of many important campaigns, another thing which has previously been encouraged at the school.

A simple act such as wearing a wristband doesnt hurt anybody, and poses a negligible risk to the wearer (no more so than a watch). With thirty thousand children dying every signle day because they cant afford to eat, it seems selfish to ban the wearin of something which says "we care".

These new regulations, once again, underline the fact that the new management are out of touch with the school. While we appreciate that some people may simpyl wear wristbands as a way to flout the "no jewlery" rule - The majority of pupils wear the wristbands to signify their concern for these important projects, and should not be prevented from doing so.

This regualtion should be repealed, so that students can once again do their small part in saying "we care".
