long hair ban

[FlyingJesus]

Do a compromise like in my old high school - you're allowed long hair, but it must be tied back. It's fair and everyone wins.

Long hair has a good case for being banned. Such as safety in technology using drills, etc

It'd need to be banned for the girls too, it's a safety hazard for everyone from that perspective.

but what if you look stupid with it tied back?

last week they banned long hair on boys at my school, they all have until the weekend to sort it out. most of them refuse to get it cut, some of them are even straightening their hair to make it look longer and one boy went and got a number 1, then obviously got suspended.

a number 1?

I see where they're coming from, but people who have like, tried to grow their hair for ages and have to have it cut just because a bunch of council kids said it needs to be banned, I would refuse to have it cut.

Bad luck.

I agree, they cant make you do anything you have free will. Take it to the media if they try and make it, it works out worse for the school or get the students with long hair sign paper and send it to the GOV BOARD they'll sort it.

Then you probably look stupid with it down too. Either that or you need to grow it a bit more, in which case just look silly for a while if you really care that much.

edit @Hollywood: they can make you do it, uniform is easily enforced in schools, and you can actually face suspension if you don't go with it.

Some guys look alright with long hair, but not in a ponytail...

They actally cant. Unless a formal letter is sent to every parent regarding the whole issue, which then gives 'x' days or week.

Furthermore the parents can take this to the media or gov board and explain that females should follow this new rule while within school due to the exaclt same reasons as males.
