If that is the case, maybe the question is not, “Why are they so concerned about the length of my child’s hair?”, but more, “What was I thinking when I sent my child there in the first place?”

It’s like I often say (okay, not often, but once or twice), “Don’t send your kid to Nazi Day Camp and then complain because you have to deal with the Feuer.”

…but really, I AM truly only playing DA with you here…the hair thing is ridiculous….

It just seems so excessive for the school to create such a stir over this.<br/>I wonder if there isn't something else going on with the "powers that be"?<br/>I'm on your side. With the changes that have come upon your son this year, he deserves to have something that makes him feel good about himself.<br/>Can't wait to hear their response! What is the real issue here?

I wonder if there isn’t something else going on with the “powers that be”?
I’m on your side. With the changes that have come upon your son this year, he deserves to have something that makes him feel good about himself.
Can’t wait to hear their response!

Is your son going back next year?

Jesus had long hair. Would Jesus kick a great kid with a great heart out of school for ANY reason at all?

It’s easier for me to support you in this knowing you have the support of your husband. I think that’s all you need.

My son’s hair has ALWAYS been an issue. We also pay $40 a pop for the “Beatles” style cut. And he looks so darn cute and feels so great about himself that it’s worth every penny.

I have to say that THIS is going to speak volumes to your son about how much you care about him. Your willingness to make the things that are important to him important to you will shape him in incredible ways.

HOPE is missing the point here.

What do you think of this idea? Take your son and a pair of scissors into the the principal and ask him to cut it himself or let Jack attend school for the last seven days.

Too risky?? Not helpful?

Sorry.

I will be praying for you, Marcy.
