We have had a number of posting re. the attitude to hair in schools in USA. I wonder if we can have some posts re. hair in other parts of the world - UK, India, Australia, Singapore etc.
Here in SL there are regulations re. hair length for boys in most schools, both private and public. However, when I was in high school (a Catholic school) there was a written rule re. long hair styles being forbidden in the handbook. But, there were a few male teachers with hair almost shoulder length, and quite a few students as well. Today the tendency among many guys is to go for "fashionably" short crops.
Although i live in USA, I spent my entire teenage in India. Long hair is not something you see very frequently in South India. It is quite conservative. But they are more common in Northern part of India.
I went to a university in south india, and for some reason they didnt like long hair. But when i did schooling, i used to see quite a lot (like chin length, not "long" hair).
CHeers!

There are quite a few long-haired people at the school in the village I live in (I live in England). When I was there a couple of years ago, some students in my year had long hair and didn't get any trouble from the teachers or school administration - although they did get some fun made of them from other students.
ive actually posted recently about private schools in austrailia
Saint Louis Mo?
San Leandro Ca?
Shell Lake Wi?
Sierra Leone (West Africa)? ;-)

I'll take a guess and say that he meant Shri Lanka
Spot on.
Here in Estonia (North-East Europe) nobody cares. You can have waist length hair painted red and wear any clothes and it'd be perfectly alright. You can have any length and it all comes to people's decision. But there is like 1 or barely 2 "ponytail" longhairs in my 1000-students school. But I've seen more longhairs in other schools and unis. Now, I don't know any private schools but I'm perfectly sure it's allowed there, too.
