The rule that students not being able to wear makeup needs to have flexibility.

What the petition asks
Wearing makeup makes students feel confident because they are hiding those blemishes that put them down. Some students have blemishes and don’t feel confident unless they can cover them up. I do understand that they’re rules but the point I’m trying to make is that this rule should have flexibility.
Teachers argue against this because makeup affects students education, despite students are being told to take there makeup off during school hours and when students refuse to remove makeup they are missing lessons by being put in detentions/isolations. Schools could have lessons at breaks/lunches for students who want to wear makeup to explain to students what makeup is allowed to be worn, how much and how to apply it.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This decision is the responsibility of your school, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could raise this issue with the school's senior management and/or the governing body.
