Childs hair cut at school

Not sure what to do with this one!

Picked up by child from school early for an appointment, noticed some areas of her hair are shorter than another's. It's been cut at school 🤦🏻‍♀️she has been asking for shorter hair so I'm pretty sure she's either a). Cut it at school herself
Or b). Asked one of her friends too.

It's definitely not happened at home as scissors are out of reach for her.

I've asked her teacher to give me a call but not sure what to say on this one. Surely this is something they would notice if they were being supervised?

Scissors bring out the devil in kids. DD1(4) is a generally very well-behaved kid, she rarely does anything that's particularly 'naughty', but the other week she was wearing some lovely handmade trousers I'd just bought for her and doing some cutting in one of the 'cutting skills' books. I was sitting beside her watching her and I saw her look at the scissors and then her trousers and before I could say anything she had snipped a tiny hole in them.

I was aghast! It was so out of character for her. Obviously I reacted in a slightly miffed fashion and she was like 'The scissors made me do it 😭😭😭' so there we go.

That's funny 🤣🤣🤣 I'd love to know what goes through their heads from them getting the initial idea to going through with cutting their hair/clothes etc. kids are wild

I think the actual end result of the cutting doesn't even enter their minds. When I asked my youngest why she kept cutting her hair when she did not want short hair she just stared at me like I'd grown a third head and replied, "Because I wanted to."

I don't think they grasp cause and effect until at least their twenties if my kids are anything to go by. The oldest was 17 when they shaved the dog Hmm
