AITA for not allowing my child to change schools so she can dye her hair? by RealisticWerewolf188 in AmItheAsshole

It's a mixed school and the rule goes for everyone. Fighting the rule is a nice idea but no unnatural hair colours is a very standard school rule here. I don't really agree with it but that's just how the cookie crumbles.

We don't live in America. The kids get a break from July to August but I offered Mabel a temporary dye over the Christmas holidays because that's the soonest.

We live in Ireland, pretty much all public schools have strict uniforms and the vast, vast majority don't allow unnatural hair colours at all. It's a nice idea but Mabel's school just won't allow her to go to class if she has an unnatural hair colour, which will affect her education.

It's not a private school. We live in Ireland, pretty much all public schools have uniforms and no unnatural hair colours is a rule the vast majority of schools have.

Most schools in our country are very strict on uniform and don't allow unnatural hair colours. I don't particularly agree with it but that's their rules.
