School policy on haircuts

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We feel that the schools haircut policy needs changed. We the public are trying to teach children to be independent & comfortable in who they are, but school policy dictates that a child can not have a haircut shorter than XYZ.

1. A child getting a haircut can make them feel good about themselves and improve their self- confidence.
2. A child getting a haircut may be their only for of expression in school and they're being punished for self-expression.
3. Some of the kids who come into my barber shop are footballers and need to keep a good hair cut for when photos are taken.
4. Many kids who get a hair cut below school standards are often put into isolation or even suspended.
