[QUOTE="TheDag, post: 64577549, member: 96964"] If the hair is causing a distraction then the problem is most certainly with the person being distracted not the person with the hair. About time people take some personal responsibility for their actions. I do not agree with the hair must be styled and you must spend hours doing your hair and endless amounts of money styling it. My hair like most on my mums side of the family tends to stick up. Since I tend to either have it short or very long and in a ponytail it is not usually a problem except for those times when I am growing my hair and it is too long to be easily brushed down but too short to tie back. The only way around it is to brush my hair several times a day at work. The hair is growing naturally and should be allowed. Typical of so many Christian groups that are more concerned about appearance than fact. I went to school with a bloke who wore a turban. It was easy to deal with and not be hindered by it. Perhaps the teachers need to learn how to teach and actually make lessons interesting then the students wouldn't find a persons hair more interesting. I have had science teachers who have kept me fascinated and I have had science teachers who taught in a way that I chose to sit there and play games with friends in class or look out the window. Simple solution to one desk length behind is to have staggered rows. This is only sensible as it helps everyone have a clear view of the board. Guess Bill you want us doing surgery on tall people next because after all if you are shorter and there is a tall person in front of you they can block your view. Of course you could look around the tall person but that is poor posture and can lead to long term health problems. You already pointed out if she was at the back of the room then it wouldn't be a problem. Simple solution and much better than kicking someone out of school. [/QUOTE]
