ZERO INTELLIGENCE
Haven’t done one of these in a while. These idiots educrats, though, seem deserving of mockery.
7th grader Derek Jackson says he is back in his normal classes today following his placement in in-school-suspension for having a haircut that was too short; something the school says was both a violation of the school dress-code and a distraction…

at 9:19 amWhat a joke. This is one of the reason’s I homeschool. The public school my children were attending before I started homeschooling counted the number of buttons on the kids polo’s. 5 buttons instead of 3 or 4 and you got ISS.
You know having too many or too few buttons is extremely distracting, right?

at 10:00 amThis has been discussed on local Austin radio for a few days now. City-wide consensus: this is Austin, which prides itself on knowing how to Do Weird and Non-Conformist without being disruptive, and the school’s ridiculous dress code “enforcement” (not that it can be an enforcement when they made up the “rule” on the spot) made us look like Round Rock or somewhere. Someone apologize to the kid and his family and get back to trying not to get your school closed for low TAKS scores.

at 10:15 pmDon’t they realize that kids have to deal with disruptive hair in the “real world?” If baldness is taboo in school, how will they know what to do if they are suddenly blinded by sunlight glinting off the head of a real-world bald person? I’m sure they’ll be needing more funding to deal with this conundrum. And are there no balding teachers with disruptive hair who are being discriminated against by this anti-baldness policy?

at 2:33 pmI forgot my favorite part of this whole silly dispute. The boy and his mother were interviewed on our local news channel, and the boy explained, in a slightly bewildered voice, that it didn’t make sense for his haircut to be against the dress code, since after all lots of teachers at his school were bald. Then they cut back to the news anchors, who were laughing their heads off.
Again, everyone in Austin thinks the school officials were idiots.

at 6:19 amSo did they keep the poor kid in the in-school suspension until his hair grew back long enough not to be distracting? If they released him before appropriate regrowth was achieved, won’t the distraction affect some sort of testing results? Maybe there’s a box in the test paperwork for the proctor to fill out regarding distracting hair issues during testing…
Just think how distracting all this attention to the idiotic school officials’ behavior is! I imagine they should be put on administrative leave without pay until their idiocy is somehow (it would take a miracle, I suppose) reduced to non-distracting levels.
