Not until now. Classic, half the posters sound like TSF types, the others like mummy's boy mincers

@taniwharugby Not gonna lie, I did LOL at the one about not needing to be pulled off doorknobs.

see I think this mother did this the right way with her son, rather than defying school rules and fighting form there, they are complying and then seeking a review.

I think she should get a fucking grip. Your kid is 15 and at school. He has his whole life to grow a moustache if he wants. Next she'll be challenging the uniform rules, painting his hair blue, getting multiple face piercings and a tattoo across his forehead saying "school sux balls" - where does it end? I see no issue with a uniform and dress code policy that includes facial hair.
Hasn't she got better things to do and more important things to teach her kid?

@voodoo
guess the difference is from the similar issues in the past, is they wanted to change things while defying school rules, rather than this case, they are complying and challenging.Much better way to go about it.

It is a more reasonable course of action even though I disagree with the stance

@canefan I dont agree either, but the process is better IMO.
I didnt have the issue, couldnt grow facial hair at school!

I agree it's better than simple defiance. But IMO there is a huge trend of entitlement going on these days. This kid is being taught that if you don't like something, just challenge it. Not to try and understand why the rule might be there to start with, or maybe just to suck it up.
This might be a minor thing, but I reckon it's a pretty good proxy for the generation.

on the other hand...
how does one understand something without challenging it first? Why should we teach our kids to just "suck it up" because something has always been done that way?
I would have thought compliance, while challenging, and then the acceptance of the rule if you lose, is a pretty fucking great lesson for a kid.

You don't need to challenge to understand, asking a few questions usually suffices. Going to the board meeting might have been a start. Not running to the papers might also have made sense.
Kids need to learn to pick their battles. Its gonna be a shitty life if you feel aggrieved and slighted by every little thing that you don't agree with.

You’re lucky , my whanau got the lycanthrope gene . The only time it’s ever come in handy was when my brother took out first place in a hairiest back competition at a pub and won a $250 bar tab .
