Well, not talking about your individual case, but statistically, your high school education was a waste of taxpayer money. :D

actually it was the teachers who were a waste of tax payers money.

Well I got asked to cut my hair by the powers that be back in Missouri in the early 70's.

I told them to STICK IT.












So I finishing my junior at a CATHOLIC school where I had to have short hair anyway, and THEN I joined the MARINES.

Jane Schilling: "Good for the Whitefish school. If more schools were like this we would not have kids killing kids in school."

Too bad it doesn't list their email addresses....

That makes no sense to me... I don't see the cause and effect in her statement.

Where is she from?

Doesn't say. I'm sure she works for the Biloxi, MS Public Schools though. :)

lol Probably. Or maybe she's a rural housewife who never passed the eighth-grade. (NOT dissing on housewifes, some of the most intelligent people I've ever met have been housewives or husbands)

How do you get dreadlocks? By not washing your hair, right? If that's the case I can see where the head-lice issue might crop up.

Why even bother making a fuss? What's she going to gain by being in a class she does not even like?

She's just going to end up working in McDonalds.

Graduate... pfft. I didn't think you can graduate with a GPA of 2.0 or below.


Thats a bunch of crap.... I was a C & D student in high school. Its not something i am proud of. However I graduated college with a 3.5 average and I sure dont work at McDucks.

But are you the rule or the exception ?


try to explain to me how that matters at all.

Like it's any worse than that Lance Bass/M'SUCK tinted hairstyle all the greasy face Mouth Breathers wear these days. I'm sure most of the Kleenex Corp here at ATOT would hit it.

C is average people, she is just slightly below average. How is that a waste? You can't pass school if you get E's, C's and D's are perfectly fine. My dad was a C/D student who didn't go to college that got paid more, all his life, than my mom who was an A/B student with a college degree.

while i personally find that a silly reason to not let her attend class I also have a problem with her motivations. From what i read there she is basically a poor student who also had serious attendance problems the last school year. Looks more like an excuse to not go to school and be able to blame it all on the big mean coldhearted school.

You know whats really sad...She could be really pretty if she got rid of those stupid dreadlocks. It would also make her life a lot easier. It might not be fair, but life isn't fair.

she looks decent (face.. she could make her hair real pretty if she wanted), i knew plenty of C and D students in high school, hell it was the majority here in south florida. i think my school was an "F" school :) i had a 1.8 until i brought it to a 3.1.

anyhow, regardless if she wants attention or not this is a stupid decision, come to south florida and look at the hairdoes of some folks, it screams "LOOK AT ME". that goes for white black asian or any race/nationality.

could be easily fixed but whatever, to each their own

If it's a rasta thing. Rastas HATE white's, and they REALLY hate white Amercians.. (Or so I've read)

Probably more interested in smokin da Spliffs than getting an education. Still the frigging school shouldn't be the fashion police.

yep.

White kids with dreads = i like de hash pipe, mon. They should test her hair for pot THC and just kick her out for that.

Still, it is rather ridiculous that there are still rules against haircuts. At least some things never change: high school administration still sucks.
