Ooh, classy, just goes to show the standards continue to reach new depths.

I was told on more than one occasion to "Get a haircut, boy!" when I was at school. Had it been a daft one like that, I'd have been suspended too, until it grew back.

Miss Cook, 21, a mother of two Ouch! Explains a lot, don't it?
If Miss Cook had any manners or brains to speak of, then her kid would not have been suspended in the first place.


* not really a ban though, is it BBC? :nope:

Wow that's a CREEPY haircut. :o

But then again... who am I to talk...

Back when I was in high school in the 80's, I went from hair down to the middle of my back to a 3 foot mohawk to bald to just long bangs and bald everywhere else to a bowl cut..

All the while the hair was changing to every unnatural color I could get it to be.

I miss those carefree days.

What a drag it is getting old. :shifty:

P.S. I only got suspended once and it wasn't because of my hair. It was for pummeling a preppie jock's nose into a fine mist durring a field trip after he decided to be kicking my seat on the bus and then pouring his soda on me from behind. I actually to this day see that suspention as worth it. I hope that nose never grew back ! :D

One boy was 7-years old, he brought two guns to school and were fully loaded hand guns. Thought they were toys, while he was over at his uncle's. He wasn't charged, but maybe his uncle was. Stupid to leave guns in-reach for any ages.:nope: It's turned out worse, but hey, there are even more dumber reason's that this to get punished at school.

Heck, I get picked on because I'm deaf, I don't see anyone getting in trouble.

I just dont bother with haircuts. More trouble than they're worth, thus my Beatles/sheepdog bonce.

The thing is, I never got scorned for it by the higher ups in school, probably because I was a whole hell of alot bigger than everyone :lol:

One of my fondest memories of the teaching staff was when some kid from the year below me took it upon himself to attack me in the corridor. I of course got the little bitch suspended for it, and the head of the 6th form said to me "You know, I admire you for what you did, because everyone here knows you would've flattened him if you'd have lost it."

But then again, I've always been like that, people tease me because they know I wont do anything about it, its just not who I am. I only ever get really pissed if someone badmouths my family or girlfriend ;)

The mother deserves a whacking.

Children should be allowed to be children and not projections screens of their mothers dreams. I think that was what the school wanted to demonstrate.

[Platapus]

"The mother of Tavis Cook was told the youngster's distinctive hairdo broke the rules of Riverside primary School in North Shields."

""I'd checked with the school and been told there was no uniform policy for either the nursery year or reception year..."

First of all, we need to deconflict these statements. Was there a rule about hair, and was the parent informed of the rule.

If there was a rule and the parent choose to ignore it, then she gets what is comin.

In any case I strongly agree with GlobalExplorer. Why would a mother give her kid such a haircut?

""Tavis marched straight up and picked out the one where the man had tramlines."

And? Since when do young kids dictate what type of haircut they get? At that age, a kid simply does not have an opinion or style. They are easily distracted by what appeals to them at this second. Parents are "supposed" to be in charge of their kids. Parents are supposed to make the decisions on what is best for the kid.

Arrg. There is more to being a parent than just being able to spread your legs!!!!!!!!
:damn: :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn:

Is it a yob/etc cut? What's so wrong with it? Other than it standing out, of course.

trendy "tramlines" haircut

What's the fuss? They were banned in my day back in the 80's in fact as I remember you ran the risk of a good canning. :yep:
