I know that we will get the normal "school rules" response here on AB, but I think it looks rather neat and tidy.

Compare this with what I looked like at his age !

I very much doubt this boy was any more or less of a yob or thug before his haircut. It's people making pre-assumptions that have the problem.

Morning mikey.......of course that would have been the outcome.......it always is and is becoming more common. persuade the authorities with media coverage and the chances are that you will get your way.
Whether the majority view was presented is neither here no there....apparently.

[mikey4444]

Sqad....the difficulty here is that we don't know what other pupils, parents, etc think about the issue, unlike in the case of the Exeter schools boys, who garnered a great deal of publicity, thus helping them to win their case.

A haircut is personal! Why should the majority view matter?

Talbot.....Some people on here have said that his lad looks like one of those, which I can't agree with at all.


What is your problem with skinheads?
You have continually lumped them in with yobs and thugs.
Do you know any skinheads, have you known any skinheads?

You're the one who does the most bleating when Muslims are tarred with the same brush, yet here you think it is ok to do that ....... why?

...let's not start on tattoos then...

Honestly, I think it is just naivete, which is why it surprises me a little that sqad, with all his experience of meeting and treating different people, would think appearance is an indicator of character.

Talbot....I have never, anywhere on this thread equated skinheads with yobs or thugs....I am merely repeating what others have said.

For the record (again)....I do not think this boys looks like any of the above.
