February 29, 200818 yr Student Suspended How about the Mom's reaction. It's a kindergarten kid and she's willing to change schools rather then his hair because he likes it. Who's the parent? The fact that Mohawk wasn't directly referred to in the dress code is simply ridiculous . . . it is implied . . . anything that causes a distraction. She knew this and was warned three times . . . she was looking for a fight. I would have told her not to let the door hit her in the behind. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree . . . good riddance.
February 29, 200818 yr Plus, Mohawk haircuts are just completely ridiculous-looking and almost totally indefensible.

February 29, 200818 yr Why would any parent cut their childs hair like this , at his age he had no say in the matter.!
February 29, 200818 yr The kid is 6, he has no idea what he likes. A boy at six doesn't and shouldn't care what his hair is like. At six, just getting thier hair cut is a chore. This is a mom with a mission. I agree that she is just pushing buttons to get a First Ammendment Case out of this. I don't want to offend single moms, but she just seems to be one that is doing whatever to get alittle extra $. It's moms like her that can give single, hard working moms a really bad name.:mad:
February 29, 200818 yr There's a great role model to emulate. Don't remember anyone being suspended. It's a judgement call by the school and it's brought negative publicity. Now they have a "distraction."
February 29, 200818 yr Nobody wants to follow rules anymore and it's only getting worse. Parents need to be held accountable and teach their kids that there are rules in all aspects of life and if you make a mistake then their are repercussions. Unfortunately in some schools there aren't clear and consistent rules and policies and people interpret rules in different ways or they twist rules and policies so that kids can still participate in various activities. They make up little bogus punishments and all they end up doing is teaching kids that there are ways to get around the rules. When rules are followed then the coach/teacher/administrator earns respect. When you play with the rules as I have seen in various situations then you lose any chance at respect and creditability.
February 29, 200818 yr When I was in first grade, I had a mohawk. I'm so sorry you're a victim of bad parenting.
