Are they allowed do this?

You might be agreeing with someone...but it ain't me.
I'm taking the "fight da powah" corner on this one.

Oh, sorry.

Is it me or do attention-seeking kids like the OP usually take up most teachers and principals time? Usually at the expense of someone who really needs the schools help, someone who is being bullied or falling way behind in their studies.

You know what they say about girls with a hairy lip, a growler with pubes you could loose a badger in.

There is nothing worse especially at your age than to be told what to do.

I beg to differ. There is a lot worse than to be the victim of a no beard policy. Child abuse, rape, murder, assault, cancer. Perhaps a little perspective.

That's why uniformity is enforced. Less distraction for all involved.

Interesting observation. What's it based on?

I don't think he's taking up anyone's time. The head tecaher CHOSE to make an issue out of it, and she CHOSE to use her time in this way.

If she CHOSE to use her time helping students who are being bullied or failing, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

My observation is based on the OP saying "As it stands I absolutely refuse to trim it as a matter of morals", so it is more for attention rather than anything else. It is a beard! Big fricking deal.

Principals always do this stuff, it is no big deal, tuck in your shirt, spit out that gum, uncross those eyes mister. They are five second conversations. The problem is when people feel repressed because of the slightest sign of an authority telling them to do stuff and thinking it is discrimination, as the OP thinks it is.

I remember these type of kids in my school, they just made huge deals out of nothing, arguing and wasting time when they were in the wrong.

So you would suggest she send a sample of his beard to some lab for testing?

No more than she should ask the rest of the student body for samples of their head hair to send off to a lab for testing.

I thought your implication was that he grew the beard as an attention seeking stunt in the first place. That said, if standing up for yourself is to be seen as attention-seeking we are on a very slippery slope here.

Sometimes - and I'm not saying that this is the case here because I don't know - people have a right to feel repressed. But blindy trusting that authority always know best is just plain daft.

We've already established that beards are a bigger hygiene risk than head hair so your argument is flawed.

dude she obviously wants you in the sack :pac:

Yes because other students may not be able to grow a beard. Dude not everyone is as manly as you. I wish I was!

Hmmm, I wonder where OP went, must know the outcome of beard adventures!

Also, lol at "Ronnie Drew" in tags. :pac:
