This has been going on for years though. Boys in my school were not allowed to have skinhead haircuts and neither of our sons were allowed to have them either.

You weren't allowed skinheads in my old school either and girls weren't allowed side shaves :worry:

I had that haircut for a while at school and it was fine.I don't see how it will affect his work any way.Ridiculous
Well kids, if you want to take the day of school, then you know what to do.

And we're absolutely sure that his haircut is the only reason he's been excluded?

On 1 on my 5 HD TV's at 6PM Sharp
STV1HD from my SatHD box

It is a very weird decision by the school, because a total shave like this is not as outlandish as Mohican's, Shaved Sides or luminous dyed hair, and as Smudgie says, it is one way to ensure that he does not catch head lice. :shrug:

It seems highly unlikely tbh.
Its hair ffs
I mean technically it's a lack of it that's the problem here

Slow news day?
No I made this thread from todays news
as this Lad wants a short hair cut
due to warm weather.
Should Teachers Get Political?
Should they find out from the mum,
why this lad got his hair cut?

What caused the stereotyping, the haircut or the hoodie?....
Budehaven School headteacher David Barton said he was off site when the incident occurred and described it as a 'misunderstanding'.
He said: 'I hope that Joshua is back in school (soon), and in class with his friends.
'It might be that Joshua's hair is a bit shorter than we would like, but it's probably not extreme and there may have been a bit of a misunderstanding between the school and his Mum.
'Our uniform policy doesn't mention hair, and maybe in future it should.
'This incident will probably prompt us to take another look at that aspect of the uniform policy.
'It wasn't our decision that Joshua should have not been at school (on Monday).'
..I'm not sure what the misunderstanding was exactly but the article says that the head has tried to communicate and sort it out but it would seem that mum has chosen to carry on keeping him away from his education and communicate with the DM instead....

because she will have been paid by the dm for a story, and there is no story without a bit of drama :laugh:
