Cowboy Day?

It was very intersting the first of my observation. I walked in and all the students were wearing cowboy boots (some with spurs), cowboy hats, plaid shirts, and belt buckles. I understood that this was a rural farm school (I mean it's surrounded by a cornfield... really?) but I never thought that the students would dress like this. It was extremely weird for me because I went to a city school and there we would probably be suspended for spurs on our boots. I also went to a school in a very rich community so every girl had a coach purse and ugg boots, but here no one has anything like that, so it's an adjustment. My cooperating teacher saw me look at this kid like Why are you wearing boots with spurs on them??? So he finally explained to me that today was cowboy day but he assured me that the kids do not always dress this way. I was very relieved to know walk in the next day and see them all dressed normally. It was definitely a weird start to my student observation, my school would never have cowboy day, i can guarentee that only a handful of students (like 5 maybe) own a pair of cowboy boots. I do like it there though, the kids are a lot less snobby then at my high school and appreciate what they have.
