The school is very, very, very wrong to be doing this. Shame on them.

Sorry, I think she looks adorable.... and growing up in ethnic NYC, I saw my share of female caucasian students with much larger curly heads of hair that would frizz. I have my doubts that anyone would have gone after someone with a mediterranean background if they wore their hair open.
I applaud her parents for not falling into this ridiculous notion that she needs to straighten her hair or keep it under “control.” She's a child, and it looks very clean even with the blurry pic. Given it's a pic of a student playing a violin, I would think her parents are also very concerned she have every academical advantage possible.

From the limited information, it appears that the school is punishing the kid for the parents complaining about her being harassed about her hair.
Not sure why the cut isn’t considered “natural”, or if the problem is the “distraction” part of the equation.

You are correct. The school is private and has the *right* to require this, but it is *wrong* for them to actually do so.

It is going to be tough for the kid behind her to see the teacher...

It is a PRIVATE school. They choose what they want to do. Anything else is gov’t busybody meddling.
