4 year old Boy hair was to long for Pre-School
MESQUITE, Texas — A 4-year-old Texas boy disciplined for having long hair has returned to his class with a brand new 'do.
Pre-kindergartner Taylor Pugh rejoined his classmates at his suburban Dallas elementary school on Tuesday.
Elizabeth Taylor says her son's hair is still long, but now she's styled it in a double French braid pinned up at the base of his neck. The school principal approved the style.
The boy typically wears his hair long and had been sequestered from classmates at Floyd Elementary School in Balch Springs since late November.
The long hair violates the school district's dress code. It says boys' hair must be kept out of the eyes and cannot extend below the bottom of earlobes or over the collar of a dress shirt.

Great parenting- use your child as a pawn in your fight against "The Establishment". That poor kid.

That's how I wore my hair when I was in elementary school.

Re: 4 year old Boy hair was to long for Pre-School
I don't like the district policy. My son's hair is below his earlobes and I'd be FURIOUS if the school told me he needed to cut it. I understand keeping it out of his eyes.. but then it should be the same policy for girls.
Having said that.. the fact that she CAN put his hair in French braids tells me that is some crazy long hair and not a style I'd want for my kid.

i'm a lover of old-fashioned short boy hair cuts, but i'm going to agree with you 100%. keep it out of the eyes and the rule should apply to boys and girls.
and i agree about that being some crazy long hair

Re: 4 year old Boy hair was to long for Pre-School
b/s for that school policy just like everyone said out of the eyes. Hair length is that much of a distraction that you need to make a rule about it? I would never french braid my kids hair but what about if the kid was african american and had braids - is that an issue?
