before your child starts at the school you need to read up on the school rules. If you think they are silly or you dont agree with them then find a school that has rules that you can live by and send your child there.

These rules may seem silly but often its about teaching children that there is a time and place for things. Its like joining the army. There are loads of rules….I mean come on…why are they so strict about their quarters? As if having a well made bed is going to help someone to keep our country safe.

Mostly schools have a dress code and just because you think it’s stupid doesn’t mean you can just do what you want, that teaches the kids to disrespect the rules.

It’s part of the dress code so you have to follow it, it’s not like it’s a secret or anything so follow the dress code or go somewhere else where they are a bit more relaxed with the rules.

Is the photo above of the girl the article is about? The school probably has a rule that hair must be no longer than shoulder length or tied back out of the child’s face. Why not just do the bottom up with a rubber band. Some schools state what colour band is to be worn.

If she agreed to go to that school then she has to agree to the rules

Its a hard one! I think its perfectly fine to wear her hair like that, but these rules are in place and can be contested at parent teacher meetings or brought up with the teacher/principle.

Rules are rules. If you don’t like them take it up with the school don’t just ignore them.

If you want your 6 year old child to be at that school, then obey the rules of that school. If you want to let your child and yourself rule the roost, then home school and don’t go to work. It’s a simple equation people,

I think a warning would have been better than pulling them out. Seems a ridiculous rule to me, but either way, it’s a rule that must be followed I guess if you want to attend that school

You need to obey rules like everyone else. Not sure about it being taken out as first time offence though- perhaps a warning for a child that age.

If the school has a rule about no bows then you need to obey that. It may seem like a silly rule but I’m sure they have a reason. If it bothers you that much maybe ask what their reasoning is. Then it just might make sense to you and your daughter.

Whilst I think it is a ridiculous rule, it is clearly one that your school adopts so for that reason, needs to be followed. I’d consider talking to the school to better understand the rule and propose a solution for change if it’s warranted. Sadly, we live in a world now where nobody wants to follow the rules so I do think it’s important to teach children to follow them. Alternatively, you could change schools to one that might better suit you.

Were the bows in the braid? If not, why was the braid undone?

A ridiculous rule but if you are sending your daughter there then you have to play by the rules

Well if that’s the rule then it should be followed whether or not she agrees with it. Perhaps try a better method of questioning the schools rules.

some rules might seem stupid to you but when you chose to send your child there you chose to follow the rules you don’t get to pick and choose which rules you follow

Some rules at schools are not in keeping with our times. It might be hard but we need to follow these rules to keep the peace.

It’s probably an unusual rule, but every school decides its own rules. And parents and students have to accept them.

The rules may seem trivial, but the School has a right to enforce them.

Only one hair bow ? Wonder if this rule was so clear for every one, as it’s exceptional.
Sorry but I think these rules our ridiculous and not from this time.
