Well, it's not really a "situation" until a parent disagrees. So, by definition, what you say is true.
The case in fact is that many schools, like many FR threads, are full of folks who seek control for the sake of control. For many, being an ed-du-cah-tor is a head trip.
We can argue the merits of uniformity in education. There is one school of thought that uniformity eliminates distraction and conflict and enhances the educational environment. There is another which holds that that is all BS. I don't really know.
But it appears that this particular school has a policy of uniformity, enforced by the requirement of uniforms and appearance codes. Parents realize this going in. If they are going to have a problem with it, they should consider other options. If it is important to this particular mother that her Precious Little Snowflake stand out in a crowd and be permitted to display his unique special-ness through dress and appearance, she is right to put him in a different school.

OMG. It’s a Charter School. Like a private school. The parent knows the rules and most times CHOOSES it for the control factor. It’s not a head trip. She CHOSE to put her kid in there then when it wasn’t to her liking, sent him back to the District School. I bet the other parents were relieved.
When my daughter was in a Charter, some other parent thinking they were above the rules, ticked me off.
