@keen…you earlier on associated long hair with unkemptness, right?Well….you know at high school age, we will definitely want to look our best, whether around guys or girls…so while the hair may be “long”, I can easily gurantee you it won’t be untidy or unkempt…at least, to us teenagers.Regarding the “weirdness”m well, that’s weird all right…in the already-blinded eyes of the school authorities…like ashley guidry said, the TRUE distraction is ultimately the rules themselves, not hair length or color.while they do make its bearer attractive, they don’t cause whatsoeverform of distraction ultimately…

Vincent, i gotta agree.This fucktarded rule sucks.I mean, even if it is against the rules to have hair slightly longer than allowed, has the "offender" committed some henious crime?As far as i know, my male friends in school with "long"/colored hair are not bad people…furthermore, even if the shitty ministry of education claimed that it's for "diciplince", why is it that the level of indiciplince in schools is just as abundant, if not rising?Hair longer than the allowed length doesn't mean that the "offender" is a bad person, ironically, most (if not all) students involved in serious, harmful offences have short hair!even more ironic, school authorities would rather conduct a thorough spot-check to confiscate handphones or nab students with hair slightly exceeding the allowed length….WHILE IGNORING THE SERIOUS CASES.how can having a fashionable hairstyle make one wild and unruly?Furthermore, school should be seen as a place of learning and fun, not where students are forced to submit themselves to retarded, gay-ass rules….there are kids who HATE school, so wouldn't it be more endearing to them if these fuckingly dumb-ass rules were abolished?

yea…..i totally agree with you,vincent.i hav e gone through the rules book many times and the first action action taken if your hair is long is a warning.second action,harsh warning. and if we still do not obey than the action is to clean the school compound or whatsoever.i am a student myself whose hair got cut many times and it always ends up one word to describe it.retarded.my friends wil laugh at it.this is because it seems to make our hair worse than when it was a little longer.and back to the rules book again.the permission for teacher cutting our hair has no official permission or rule stating that a discipline teacher is allowed or given the permission to cut a student’s hair.

Today at school my boyfriend Trey Romero and another good 20 boys got pulled out for theier hair. They were then piled into the office and thier hair was cut. The person who cut thier hair however has never been to beauty school and did crappy jobs on thier hair. I dont think hair being a few inches longer than your eyebrows is much of a distraction.Do you? A distraction that really bothers me is this bogus hair rule for guys,aswell as thier new hidious hair cuts. Some how none of the kids at school are distracted by little things such as my pink hair in teh beginging of the year or the guys long hair with is actually not that long. As a matter of fact …no one is distracted accept for the principal(yes,thats right,not even most teachers care about it) . You see ,my theory is that long hair or manic colored hair dosent take away from the learning experiance. Neither does seeing some ramdom ass kid wearing a skull. Skulls have also been baned in school. For you see skulls mean death. I asked around and everyone said that when i wear skulls no one really thinks of me as a real big threat. They just think of me as they usually do. Long hair ,Manic colors,skulls,and other bogus rules like these dont distract students and most of the time teachers either. I think these rules should be uplifted(if they are even rules) because of the stupidity behind them.

Well I reckon it isn’t just something that is localised to your school given in my day when I used to study in high school they cut students hair too based on length and ‘weirdness’. Length is fairly understandable given an oft-forgotten and probably deprecated idea of spreading head lice in unkempt and usually, long hair. More often that not though, it might be the idea that students who do not keep their hair short (and thus arguably clean), are just doing it to break the rule, be different and be rabble-rousers. In a sense, what they want to do by cutting people’s hair should be about uniformity and cutting out the expression of individualism.

You can read it that way. Of course, we could just take the easy roads and say rules suck and teachers are dicks. Cutting of a students hair really shouldn’t be about making the student look idiotic, but making him/her look idiotic is certainly going to be a catalyst to them getting a proper short haircut.

As for your teachers with long hair. Yeah, thats blatant unprofessionalism. It’s being hypocritical to espouse the virtues of short hair and proper order, rules and non-individualism and yet come out with decidedly long hairstyles which screams for all intents and purposes, a cry to show he’s different.

I really wouldn’t have to say much with regards to you asking him those questions though. I’d say he was right to dob you in for those questions, although probably for the wrong reasons.
