They arrange a meeting with the sixth form council to discuss it and then didin't turn up! 2 days later they issuesd a new dress code which stoped the boys from wearing shorts (we'd only been allowed tailor'd shorts in any case) and a number of other restrictions...
When the complaints were made they just refused to listen to any argument...
The problem here is that the rule they've made is vauge at best so the Head is trying to interprit this as best as possible (not very well in fact) its now got to the point that ego's are on the line.

As I governor of an infant school, I feel that I have to take exception to these comments. Do not tar us all with the same brush for the (apparently) stupid acts of a few.
Without hearing both sides of the story, it is impossible to come to a balanced conclusion, but it would seem that the leadership of this particular school needs to get a life. I can see that there might be circumstances where they may feel that braids were not apropriate, but if so then it should be the same rules for everyone. The only exceptions being for valid medical of religious reasons - not race.
