I hate facial hair fullstop, so I dont even see why I am arguing with this. But I don't think schools should be able to dictate to you exactly how you should look

These Muslim lads say the want them
its like their Prophet

I wish you was the Head Mistress

I guess it's down to uniformity, they want all students to look alike as much as possible?
It was advised by their prophet as a sign of maturity and wisdom, just because you can grow a beard doesn't mean you should or you are in any way mature or wise.

I honestly expect to see a school next month kicking off because one of their pupils hasnt shaved their armpits or legs tbh. Thats how stupid its getting.

Kizzy · 10-10-2013, 10:39 AM

It's not a new thing, and maybe it just comes down to them being easily identifiable?

Vicky. · 10-10-2013, 10:47 AM

I don't care how new it is, its stupid.

Other people shouldn't be able to dictate your facial hair tbh. I cant think of a job where they would do that (unless you had a santa style gigantic bush on your chin perhaps)

Honestly though, for me the strangest thing about this story is that the catholic school even allowed them in. I thought you had to actually be catholic to get into a catholic school

They have to take a % of other faiths, it could have been a draw due to the fact they do very little sex ed?

But dont they have prayer hours and such? They did at the one at durham where my dads ex wifes daughter went. They had to worship this big pole thing in the yard everyday

Maybe it's just fashion
or that now they're seen as unprofessional or slovenly?

The religious element of this story is irrelevant IMO, that's not my issue here because it's a matter of principle. Dictating a dress code is one thing, telling students their face (and to a lesser extent hair) must look a certain way is another. They go to school to be educated, how is some stubble going to prevent that?

14 year Boys walking around school with full face beards........Have you ever heard of anything so bloody ridiculous in your life.

Yep, a school telling its students how their face must look. That is ridiculous.

I grew up in the country. I've seen girls with full face beards at 14.

AAaaaarrgghh.........Perhaps this is why so many of them insist on covering their faces.......it can be quite a task for a girl to shave off every bit of that beard and moustache.......

Now things look a little clearer.....

Nedusa · 10-10-2013, 02:01 PM

I'm sick of these news stories it's making me contemplate switching over to the dark side....But I really don't want to become a Daily Mail reader....!!!!

Kizzy · 10-10-2013, 02:04 PM

It's to do with socialisation and social control.

I can't see a couple of kids moaning getting on QT can you?

Jog on kevins!

Are girls allowed to wear make up now in schools? Serious question? When I was in school you were frog marched to wash off every last scrap of make up if you were wearing it and so in that case I can kind of get it...if this is not about the religious side of things and they allow boys to have facial hair surely they have to allow make up on girls too?

The day girls grow make up out of their facial follicles is the day make up should be regarded the same as facial hair. Did the teachers frog march you to shave every hair below the neckline? Maybe that was just my PE teacher. My memory is a little hazy.

Our school randomly one day decided they wouldnt allow makeup anymore, even though literally noone went overboard anyway, a bit eyeliner or eyeshadow sometimes but that was about it. So the next day a load of us went in in full goth paint. White faces, eyeliner everywhere, black lipstick, the works. Refused to take it off. And the school caved. Was a stupid rule. Makeup has nowt to do with how we learn
