Jewish boys who wear yarmulkas to school are generally not allowed to take it off, due to a very strong Jewish custom.

A kippah, or yarmulke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kippah
Orthodox Jewish men wear the Yarmulke all the time. Other Jews (male and female) decide for themselves whether or not to wear it.
No. You don't have to be orthodox to wear a yarmulke. In fact, you don't have to be Jewish. Some modern liberal Jewish congregations have pronounced the yarmulke optional during services or have dropped it completely, but it is still primarily a matter of individual choice. There are even some Jews who are quite secular, do not regularly pray or attend synagogue services, but who wear the yarmulke in general daily life.
The proper way to wear a yarmulke is to wear it on the Sabbath, Shabbat, or when in Shul. One should wear a yarmulke whenever everyone else is wearing one.
Orthodox Jews always wear a head-covering (kippay/yarmulkah, or a hat).
