Teacher wants his hair cut

[MrsSnape]

I posted on here a while ago asking for opinions on my sons hair, I wanted to cut it, he wanted to have it long...you all sided with him and so he got to keep his "cool surfer dude" hair lol

Thing is he doesn't have the best reputation at school and he's always in trouble, simply refuses to do any work and spends his time messing around, being cheeky and disrupting the class.

The teacher has now said that his hair should be cut as when the front goes over his eyes it makes him lose concentration even more I'm sure she wouldn't say this about a girl's hair.

So do I continue to send him to school with his long hair as he likes it and risk being seen as a bad parent who encourages bad behaviour or get it cut to keep teacher happy?

I have told girls as well as boys to get the hair out of their eyes as it affects their ability to see the board and use their books. I have offered paperclips as hairgrips when I've run out of the latter.

Alice band/hair ponytail thingie if he's growing the front and his hair is long enough.

Or trim his fringe. I've just had my DS fringe cut back, his hair loks great.
