If the kid got this hairdo a month ago as stated then the school should have dealt with it then. "Levey Padocs Jr.'s father said he allowed his son to get the distinctive 'do more than a month ago for behaving better in class."

If they accepted it then they shouldn't have taken issue with it the day of the photo. I really doubt that they got permission to wash the dye out - they would have had to ask for the permission the day of the photos. They could have just as easily asked the parents the day before to wash it out for the photo and he could return to his usual style the next day. If they had a issue with it then the school could have cleared this whole charade up long before it got to this point.

I don't really care if one of my daughter's classmates has funky hair. She is barely 4 yet and does have a distinct individual taste in her dress and looks already.

My daughter will not wear or dress in the extremes though. She will be allowed to follow her own tastes within certain limits. If she wants to color her hair she may with natural colors. Once she's an adult she can play with more funky things if she so chooses. Also she may wear clothes that follow the fashions but nothing extremely exposing or gaudy or gang representive of course. This will be my personal parenting style.

These parents may have just allowed something that they wouldn't normally because of the boys behavior. I think colored hair is minor compared to the bad behavior that some kids display in class. I would rather him learn than look they way most people see as normal.

The school could have handled this much better. They did not. The parents are justified in what they are doing though I think they might be going a tad overboard. My kid would not be attending that school again if I wear in their place.
