A 6 years old kid suspended from school because of a haircut!!!
Posted by chillygurlz on March 4, 2008
this newspaper i read, interesting, in Ohio, some elementary school, suspended a 6 years old kid for getting a haircut, it a silly thing for the school to do beside he is only 6 years old, other kids don’t care about what you do with your hair. school said, the hair was too distracting for other kids in school. in school book for policies, there no statement about what kind of haircut your allow to have or anything. it only has rules about clothes or uniforms. kids should be able to have their haircuts however they want it, it expresses their feelings, personality…
In schools today, with sports and games like tag, hide seek and competitive games during recess time and after school playtime, schools are slowly banning all those fun childhood games, I hear those stories where a parent sue school cuz a kid was playing tag and got scape on their knee, which is normal as a kid, we go out and have fun and play hard and sometimes scape our knees alittle. i can kinda understand schools worry about parents who are happy to sue school for allow kids to have fun playing games outside. No it not fun to get hurt but it is part of being a kid and learning to deal with things if u get hurt or lose or win. when i was a kid, i was a lousy player for tag or hide and seek and other sports but i still played those games with my friend, yeah i got hurt alittle but i dealt with it and kept playing. i love playing basketball, soccer and other sports even i can’t really play well. I would be one of those who ended up sitting on bench during whole game which is no fun. so what are your opinions about schools and games??? are they being too strict or over protective?? they might as well put plastic bubble wrap on the kids all day if the schools don’t want them to play fun games… that would be no fun.

Whoa, that’s sad. I actually did have this hair style when I was very young because I was born 3 months premature. I had to visit the hospitial regularly for an IV on my head. Obviously, they have to shave my hair off for that. I actually looked like him in your newspaper. I can’t believe how schools those days are getting more strict. I think that would probably have an opposite impact on the kids. What I mean is, we shouldn’t strive on our own fears. Our life is way too short! Instead, let’s enjoy our life!

Oh, pretty bad?
Funny, I had a foster son, DJ that I was care of him while his young parent were too young and drunk.,etc. etc.
Lilly and Tara, my two daughter were very small and cut his hair and I discovered hair of my daughter’s hair. I looking at Lilly.. I got trouble with social worker caught DJ’s haircut.. I gasped and tried to explained to them what happened.
During my brother in law and sister in law’s wedding. Lilly hide and wont come with us for picture. She feel so punished by herself.
I think it was so funny..

It’s amazing how things have evolved in schools today. Funny you brought up the bubble wrap. I have seen a picture in a parenting magazine with a girl wrapped in bubble wrap on her knees while playing soccer to prevent shin splints or bruising. Sometimes, we just over do it. Gee….
Cute topic.

I actually went through this with my son (Who has long hair) in fourth grade. It’s sad, because they’re the ones bringing attention to it. Kids don’t care.

here in singapore, they’ve got moderately strict dress codes in schools including for the hair.
guys must have short hair.. not reaching the uniform collar, no sideburns, no mohawks or that sorts.
girls with hair reaching the shoulder must have it tied up.
no dyed hair at all is allowed.
the rules follows from primary till junior colleges.
there are students suspended from classes or school for violating dress codes but never expelled.
still, i dont think the kindergartens and nurseries here are too concern of the hair though.
i so agree with u about the games, chilly!
i remember playing tag and hopstoch during recess in primary school.
now, even skipping ropes are banned in school unless supervised. how pathetic is that?!
most parents claim that they are doing it for the benefit of the kid. ironically, it onli deprives the kid of his own childhood. sighs.
