"Of course, people judge you based on how you look. I mean, I tend to run away from anyone with a face full of piercings and a chest decorated with tattoos. But honestly, did the student walk into class that morning looking like Axl Rose or Bob Marley? Did he spot a black spider tattoo on his shaved pate? Was he reveling in the attention he got because he donned a Mohawk? 

No. He had a nicely layered fringe and spiky, tapered sideburns. Big deal, right? This sort of disciplinarian culture has to stop.

With the government going all out to give youths a chance to excel in all manner of disciplines such as fashion, art, sports, gaming and computer animation, this one school teacher's decision to lay down the law and "get in line" runs counter-productive to the spirit of creativity and invention we are trying to foster in our young.

Want to talk about real progress? One American school in Texas is allowing students to sport facial hair, earrings and hair past their shoulders, and even tattoos. Why? So it eliminates distractions that leads to students in violation being  removed from class and so teachers can "focus on educating our students"."

JUST THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS. 

I will never understand why anyone would do anything just to find faults with "bad students" and punish them with internal suspension where they are banned from attending lessons, when they are likely to retain and they need the lessons. Why even. Might as well do it after school, cause it's not like we care (afterall we're the worst batch right) School, y u no have logic.
