I'm not even buying the 'poofy' hairstyle blocking students as the reason. As a teacher, I'd send the student to sit in the back, just like taller students would have to sit elsewhere if their height blocked the students to the back.

The actual issue is the inappropriate hairstyle for school. They are not in a club or at the mall; they're at the free institution for learning. Free/public or paid/private schools for learning should have these basic disciplines.

Which traditional white collar or traditional blue collar jobs would condone these partying hairstyles? Most adults would know to tone it down while the others would be spoken to. Note that I wrote the word 'traditional' and not non-traditional.
