Close THAT school for a start. Sickening rules for what-ever reason.

wow I am so glad I do not live in places like this- my son's school is worried about things like his behavior and his grades... not his hair cut.

the good thing is, it looks like he really needs to trim just about an inch. (except for the bangs---though I don't know how a haircut would look if the bangs were above the eyebrow and the rest of the hair was "above the shoulder"

)

What are you going to do about it? Unless the parents want to fight this through the proper channels, they really have no choice other than shopping around for a school without such a rule.

Frankly, I'd like to see more rules about dress in schools where I live.....we hardly have any!

(I'd like to pass on the hair rule, though, my son would have to have his bangs cut.......)

I tell you what it is comments like yours that is just pushing me harder to fight the school. You just give me more ammo (ideas) as you speak(type). Your opinion was listened to I have heard what you have to say. I got my opinion and I am done with you. You have not read one thing I have wrote. I listen to others people opinion and most seem like they are educated and understand what an opinion is and meet people 1/2 way. But you , you are a whatever. I cant stand ignorant people that can shut up and listen to what the other are saying. All I hear from you is cut his hair not once did you hear anything. I am through with Miss NoExcuses

Don't waste your time arguing with opinions like this. Generally speaking some people always have to be right, can never admit when they are wrong etc.

Maybe they're trying to keep him from being teased or beat up?
