Of course - when was that picture taken? Was it after he was sent home? The haircut was described as “spiked”, yet the photo shows it pretty well combed down. Couldn’t be a case of media manipulation, now could it?
I am curious what it looked like when he got to school.
And by the way - we have several students with long “hippy hair” as I call it. The vast majority make no big deal whatsoever about their hair - and just like it that way. It is not a distraction.
A child walks on campus with a spiked mohawk and I guarantee it will cause a disturbance (because that is the intent).
“The vast majority make no big deal whatsoever about their hair - and just like it that way. It is not a distraction.”
Tell them to cut it and see how little of a deal it is to them.
