Looks fine as it was.

Kid looks like a fag with that pony tail.

I work in a public but Church school and we don't even have rules about hair length. We have a boy in grade 9 that has the longest most beautiful hair ( and I don't like long hair on guys) that he is growing to cut off and raise money for Charity. We do have rules about shoes...lol

I think that some rules are just stupid, but a 4 year old doesn't need long hair, I can't imagine what it would be like to be a boy and have everyone thing you are a girl. Parents need to be parents sometimes and make decisions that may be against what their little kid wants but may save him some pain in the long run. ( like being called a girl, all the time)

As far as a teen goes, as long as he was a good kid, did well in school and was respectful I don't think I would care what color or length his hair was. You gotta pick your battles wisely with those ones.

it's nice to see teachers and school administrators still thinking they should be allowed to make your parenting choices for you. what difference would his hair length make to a teaching situation?

as for my kid, yeah he was a wrestler and wanted to look "wild" for a couple matches. he had a rather impressive mohawk for awhile. his coach let him have it for a few weeks, then made him shave it off before regional competitions. i have more important things to worry about then his hair style choices. ( i did like the hawk though) his girlfriend teased the thing up and colored it for one home match. tons of people were taking photos. he had a good time with it.

i will add that i would personally not let my 4 yr old have long hair, but it's the parents choice not the school's.

Who are you to say that?

As for me, I've had long hair since I started high school (before that my parents wouldn't let me wear it long, at that point they gave up). I'm child-free, but if it were my son I'd be giving them hell to the point where I'd probably be banned/ejected from the school grounds. Civil liberties, even ones that a lot of people would dismiss as trivial, get me wound up like nothing else.

I can't imagine living somewhere that my choices are based on a "need". In this country, "wanting to" is a good enough reason to do anything.

I fail to see how hair effects anything in the schooling system.

There are some militaries who allow it based on a human rights issue..

It's just hair...aren't there more important things to worry about in a class room? Like maybe ensuring little Jimmy and little Jane can actually learn to THINK rather than memorize?
