Uhhh yes but best that u ask Angel about it. I was asking that question directly to Angel. :)
 
I think suspension for this girl's kind of harsh because she is being isolated from school for having different hair colour. But if it's already in the handbook then her dad should have reserved school holidays for dying her hair in whatever colour she wants.

I believe all or nearly all schools in Australia forbids students going to school in extreme hair colours because it's not part of school uniform.

I'm not for bleaching of hair in young children. I get angry with parents who do that because the child's hair ends up looking quite thin and dry.

Lucia, yeah, the pink and purple hair are hell on light coloured hair. Heaven, I should know because I had experienced it. Takes longer than norm to have the colour fade. It was fun doing something like that, though.

Maybe I'll do it again someday.
 
WTF!? Getting suspended just because a little girl had pink hair?

I think it's cute.

Seems like no one can do something like that these days. They think that things like that is a sign of being bad or being a punk. :roll:
 
4 years old & pink hair? Nahh I don't think thats a good idea for the parents to let their child do that. Halloween maybe. Oh well I'm just gonna lay off on this subject..:iough:

Yep I know! 4 years old is too young to be having punk hair colors especially at school. :ugh: I wouldn't like that either.
 
Same here.. I refuse to let my daughter dye her hair til she's in high school.. I don't believe in dye at an early age.. that's just too grown up. they really need to be a kid. but as far as the girl getting suspended was kinda harsh... but I don't agree with the hair dye though. If you have your own daughter or son, you might feel different.. if you don't have kids.. then you probably don't understand....

I agree I do think it was kind of harsh what the school did by suspended this 4 years old girl just for having pink color in her hair, but I personally think the bigger problem here is parents who can’t tell their children "NO"...The schools have to set some limits in their policies and no matter where they draw the line, there will always be someone left on the other side complaining... My children's school just recently announced their policy about dress code, which states that all clothing must be appropriately sized and fit neatly, and well grooming plus policy against unnatural hair colors, we were informed that unnatural hair colors was unacceptable since it encourage students to tease the other student with dyed hair color
This means that a student’s dress, grooming, and appearance, including hairstyle, jewelry, makeup shall be safe, appropriate and not disrupt or interfere with the educational process.

< This was send home from one of my boy's school explaining the policy about dress code and grooming..


As a parents, I feel that it's my responsibility to read the school's policy in the hand book carefully and follow them, and help my children understand what is appropriately and what's not ...My children are there to learn and get educated that's all..


Edit I happen to be one of the few parents who hasn't complain about this new dress code and grooming policy that my boys school had recently announced, I've seen parents throwing temper at the school board over this, I wish some parents will think about their children's education instead of thinking what their children wants to wear etc....:rme:
 
That's a little bit of extreme for a 4-year- old to have their hair dyed.
 
Most children use colorhair for German carneval (between January and March) and Halloween times. They look cute... Sure, they rid of those color after wash and rinse their hair few times. I really see nothing wrong to let them curious with color until they satisfy their curious.

Yes, I'm agree on this. They do not need to throw their temper since they know their rules in first place.
 
At my school, they never said anything about having pink,blue or even purple hair. They didn't really care as long as you behave yourself and get your work done. They should be worrying about something else important. Pink hair on a 4 year old girl, that must be cute.Thats wrong for the school system to do that to a 4 yr old. rme

I saw the pink hair on the girl...it looks like her dad did not bleach her hair before putting the pink dye in, cause I saw some light brown hair as well...usually if you have dark brown or black, it's best to bleach your hair before putting extreme color dye in, but it looks like her hair is light enough to take the pink. Also, if her dad used "Manic Panic" or "Special Effects" (SFX) the dyes are of the veggie type, actually good for your hair anyway. It's the bleaching that is really bad for your hair.

Interesting, I once wanted to dye my hair black and streak it red on the front but chickened out.
 
I would think it has to do with the dye allergy as alot of kids today are allergic to many things such as environmental stuff.. but I would think it's the rules of school to make it look clean and tidy I guess.. I could be wrong..Still abit too young to do this crazy thing then everyone else want to do the same so they sent the kid home as a punishment maybe??
 
Now, After having some thoughts - I think the school only punished the child to be fair because if the school allows her to come with a pink hair, It'd be a leeway for every other child wanting to have their hair colored in extreme colors. If that had happened, That might have spiraled out of control for the school officials to get it under control.

I think it's a bit extreme to have a child coloring his/her hair at that age with a permanent dye but only if it is a spray-temporary types like the ones you usually see around Halloween time would be fine since it washes out fairly quick.

However, Having a permanent dye chemical on a young child could possibly wear the hair out thin. At that age, the child is still growing and her body is making changes as time goes by.
 
If I'm a parent and I have a child, I will take total responsibility on reading the school's handbook before I discuss my child and before I take my child to school. This is so that we can be educated and that if my child behaves, this will help reduce the chance of being suspended from school for my child.

But I don't have a child (I'm not a parent) and even if I don't, I think it's worth mentioning about reading a handbook as I'm doing my best to keep myself ahead in education.
