Mazz Wrote:My school had a rule that hair wasn't allowed to go past the collar on your shirt, and one of the teachers semi regularly cut the hair of pupils that would 'break the rules'. Mine was slightly past collar length in my last few years of school and I got suspended for a week for refusing to cut it. Didn't spend much time in school my last year because I wasn't allowed to leave the grounds on break while my hair was longer than they had deemed appropriate so I only went in for lessons and then sat the exams at the end of the year. They didn't invite me back for the qualification ceremony or whatever it is but I wouldn't have gone anyway.
Rather than making a huge deal about it I told the few teachers that seemed to have any sort of authority that the rule was laughable and unnecessary and that I wouldn't be following it, and that aside from that I would still go to classes and behave as normal. I didn't get into any trouble at all (aside from this 'incident' if you can call it that which to be honest you can't because it's ridiculous) and my grades were mostly As/Bs. I think they just liked asserting whatever power they had over whoever they were able to.
Glad to see at least someone has the balls to stand up to this farce.
