Only reasons I can guess:
Traditionally, it's considered disrespectful to wear hats inside. Why that tradition exists, I'm not sure, but it's one of those etiquette things, like not putting your elbows on the table.
It could also be along the same lines as hoods - obscuring your face and making policing the school harder.
I suspect the tradition came from hats being used to protect one's head from the elements. Wearing one indoors suggests a lack of confidence in the building.

I love these kinds of explanations
While the Sikh find it disrespectful to not wear a head covering inside some buildings.
Not just Sikh. It's a requirement in the worship halls of synagogues as well (though a tiny kippa is enough).
Don't they constantly wear their turbans? I thought you basically have to wear that thing all the time
I've heard from a teacher in my high school over a decade ago that while it is disrespectful for men to wear hats indoors, traditionally women were exempt from this expectation.
It's a leftover from Christian tradition.
They were, but has nothing to do with modern rules.
