I don't see the point of breaking rules unless there is a good reason to break them. You aren't listening to music, you don't need your headphones out. Now say your teacher said to you that you weren't allowed to wear a necklace that belonged to a long gone family member or something like that...something that means a lot to you, then I'd understand the rule breaking.
As for the people saying that this is about schools destroying individuallity it really isn't.....most teenagers have ipods or simular and wear headphones, this is not individuallity.
I have no idea about other schools but my high school was actually more leanient of students who bent the school uniform in unusual ways. Being a bit different was OK because if one kid breaks the school uniform in a non-fashionable way it probebly won't cause anarchy. Nobody copies the weird kid. But when a person breaks the rule in a fashionable way it becomes a probelm because everyone starts to copy.
