Tell us your thoughts on whether schools should discipline kids over haircuts

After a mum temporarily took her son out of school following a disagreement over her son's haircut, we want to know your thoughts on whether schools should be disciplining kids over how they style their hair.

Mum Sam Deyes pulled her son Charlie, 14, out of Kingswood Academy in Hull after he was put in isolation because his haircut "did not meet school policies."

Despite an attempt to fix the short back and sides cut to try and comply with the policies, Charlie was put back in isolation the following day. This saw Sam take action by temporarily keeping Charlie out of school.

Let us know in the comments section.

Sam said: "They [the school] said it because of a fade line or something and you could see two contrasting colours.

"I said, 'Well, obviously you're going to see two contrasting colours because half of it's shaved and the top of it's trimmed'. He's not added colours or anything like that."

Some readers have already commented in their support, with one saying: "Parent should put the lad somewhere else. Hair cut does not distract other pupils."

Another also said: "I cannot see the problem. It's his choice."

However, not everyone was supportive with one person commenting: "Rules are rules!"
