[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 327741, member: 1233"] I find the whole situation to be silly. It is silly to have the boy be in ISS over his haircut. It is silly for the dress code to be ignored. It is silly to assume that because a person is groomed and attired in a certain manner that they will turn out to be productive members of society. It is silly for parents to let a 5yo's haircut become a cause for suspension of their child. The dad says that the school is more interested in the boy's hair than his education. Aren't the parents doing the same thing? The handbook with the dress code comes out in the beginning of the school year. This is halfway through the year. The parents received a copy of the dress code and probably had to sign an agreement that they would have their child follow it. So now they don't want to, well, tough. I don't think that long hair on a boy would interfere with education, but I also feel that since the boy and his parents had the rules for months before this nonsense, THEY are the ones making a point for some reason and they need to find a better way. It is sad that the child is being used as a pawn in this. [/QUOTE]
