To not get schools issue with dyed hair?

[fitforflighting]

I suspect I may get flamed for this but I genuinely do not get it.
They have a rule against earrings including sleepers. That I get especially with younger children or in sports were children can end up getting them at worst ripped out.

I can kind of even get extreme haircuts with big shaved stars or strange styles that look unprofessional and might not be allowed by adults in a professional work place.

But this week and last term several of senior age children who had dyed hair brown/red/dark purple etc were sent home from school to re dye or put in isolation by teachers with errr brown/red/purple dyed hair! One of the children's teacher has bright purple hair. It does not make her any less of a English teacher or lesson her professionalism in school I don't reckon so what is the problem for teens?

And there goes Lord threatening again.

Oh and Lord I said " can't remember the word" so no lack of integrity just your lack of understanding and decision to be deliberately obtuse

how can you have a no make up rule for self conscious, acne prone teenagers?
That just sucks

"Oh and Lord I said " can't remember the word" so no lack of integrity just your lack of understanding and decision to be deliberately obtuse"

You could easily have checked, but you chose to exaggerate and misrepresent. Perhaps you think people are daft.

Echo - you have no principles and me no integrity - no wonder education is so bad

This thread is huge Lord. It's late. You check for me - I don't have the intelligence or integrity to do so.

Ok, so only make up that the teacher feels is appropriate.
Ffs! Can you hear yourself?

And what exactly is lord threatening?

lipstick o's lipstick. either it's allowed or it isn't. it all ultimately has the same purpose so why is one allowed and the other not?

either pupils are responsible for focusing on their own work and behaviour or your asking girls to not wear bright colours so not to distract. now which is it?

On the older girls minimum make up is allowed but wear bright red lipstick and they will be asked to remove it.

Why are they asked to remove it?

The principle is worth it

The management in my last school were hell to work for. Defying them over that would have made my working life even worse than it was.

Felicity our older children wear make up - not many of the younger ones do and to be fair most acne in girls appears around year 9 and as long as it is not ridiculously applied it is allowed (think foundation, powder and neutral shades)

The colour red is magically somehow inappropriate because a teacher has prejudices. Now I've heard everything.

So schools spend time sorting out what shades of lipstick are allowed?

And no lipstick or lip gloss is necessary so why is one colour ok and the other not. and why is red so bad. it's a colour. just a colour. on a yr seven.

"most acne in girls appears around year 9 and as long as it is not ridiculously applied it is allowed (think foundation, powder and neutral shades)"

Breathtaking.

"So schools spend time sorting out what shades of lipstick are allowed"

Some teachers will do anything to avoid doing actual work, like teaching.

It's not about distracting others - red lipstick has no place on an 11 year old in a classroom. Just as glittery eyes and false lashes - time and a place for everything - and ultimately they are children. No disruption, no arguing - just asked to remove and it's done.

"The management in my last school were hell to work for. Defying them over that would have made my working life even worse than it was."

Blow the whistle on them.

"red lipstick has no place on an 11 year old in a classroom."

Says who?

I don't think I can even begin to respond to the ridiculous nature of that advice.

No time wasted thinking about Colours or getting it removed. No lesson time disrupted. No child made to feel bad. Asked nicely and they wipe it off. Not a problem ... I have no prejudice about red lipstick but do think there is a time and place and it does not fit in with the discreet make up allowed.

Sooty is that for me?

Just get on with your work and never mind worrying about lipstick.

"To do this would be to undermine my colleagues and break the conditions of my employment."

The principle is worth it, if you have any.

My principle happens to be that I conform to the rules of the workplace, or try to have them changed by the proper means available. It would be entirely unprincipled to undermine the work of a colleague.

Some teachers will do anything to avoid doing actual work, like teaching.

Teachers don't get to make the rules. Sigh. You just don't get this, do you?

No purple - it was in response to the suggestion of whistle blowing on my former employer.
