Headband Issues?

well at least you had the warning signes...im not saying what they did was right. did you go to a school ware uniforms were needed? as this may have made them less open minded to the article of clothing. if not i dont see why the or how they could do that to you, but at least it wasnt without warning.

 

Yeah, the rest of my uniform was in perfect compliance to the code. Jackets were allowed, and I honestly didn't see anything wrong with mine. I mean, they made the fact that they didn't like very clear, but I never would have thought I would get expelled for it. If I would've known such action was even possible, I probably would've done things differently.

 

that seems just horably wrong. religious school? or just uniformed?

 

Just uniform, public school.

 

fuck that man...i ware a jacket with "jimi hendrix are you experienced" patch

 

Spend more time learning to spell and learning proper grammar, rather than looking like a hippy. It will benefit you more in the long run. Plus, it's just a headband. Take it off for eight hours you are in school and don't take it off til you go to school the next morning. How bad is it going to hurt you?

 

probly wont hurt me much, hair in the eyes would get anoying. my gramar is up to par i just dont bother with it online much...i type fast. more of a writer...not a fan of the keybord.

 

Thats why they make rubber bands and ponytail holders.

 

man haha id rather have a meeting with some administrators to ware a decent looking headband then rock a rubberband haha.

 

You seem to have a penchant for confrontation. Why not put that towards a meaningful protest? A headband is trivial. Put your energies toward civil disobedience for the environment, or animal rights. There are a myriad of worthy causes rather than a dress code.

 

i desire to be a participant in a group of that nature(perticuarly animal rights) However around here no one is into speaking out...i would do it myself but come on. haha. the dress code thing is simply me desiring to ware what i want to, to keep the hair out of my face. Its not a big thing, but it is kind of interessting to be honest.

 

I just think we should be free to do whatever. I mean we spend 12 years, before even college, on school. 12 yrs of our life. And because we are required to go I dont think they should be able to tell us what to wear inless its like...see through or something. Lol.

 

haha yea see through may not fly with the dirstricts. i know some people who are into different styles who have to show themselfs to their peers (school) as not who the really are...if that makes sence. i dont know why some of this got me heated, but it did so here i am

 

My school told me that I couldn't wear a headband, because of the no headgear rules. I made abunch of them out of paperclips and taped constrction paper to sround each paperclip, and I wearthose all thetime atschool. They're not technically headbads, so they had to let me wear them. Not as nice as a real one, but it works and I kinds like them!

 

hmm interessting. i dono if i would ware that haha. im still working for mine its frustrating

 

Well- by dealing with the problem directly in this manner you showed them you are to be dealt with as a rational adult. Some times it helps to try your own approach on yourself first and see how you'd likely react. The dynamic between teacher and student is a strange one though with the complication of presumed authority of the teacher and with so many students challenging that in one way or another. Anything that can be construed as a challenge will most likely meet with a negative response... possibly including a strengthening of dress codes including limiting hair length on males.

You definitely showed them something though...

Well done.

 

Definately keep on fighting for your headband, it's a violation of your civil rights if they refuse you. It's not like you're showing up to english class naked;it's a headband, and you need it to keep the hair out of your eyes. Check and see if it's really against the "dress code" (which is ridiculous, if it is), ad next time someone says anything, tell them, "It's not against the ruls, I have proof!" in a sweet innocent voice. And if it is against the dress code, start a petition to change that. Good luck!

 

I agree in principle but you have to be careful about how you handle yourself around the folks who have the power to make life miserable for you. In practice, minors have amazingly few civil rights- particularly within the confines of the school system so demanding something you think you're entitled to could net you a snoot full of trouble.
