Besides, even if it violates the dress code they have, this shouldn't be a part of the dress code to begin with. Who cares if somebody has some freaking dreads like get over it. Smh
I am baffled that the anglosphere has a dress code for schools in the first place. I don't think I've ever heard of anybody getting even talked to for what they wear in a public school here, and I've had teachers in the family for four decades.
Private schools sure, but those are for nepo babies and idiots.
Even private schools where I'm from are unlikely to have that kind of thing. They might have a uniform, but I'm not sure if dress codes are even allowed.
I suppose the exception would be if someone is wearing something that can be considered offensive. E.g. if they come to school in an SS uniform. That'd definitely cause a commotion. I've no idea how a hairstyle could be offensive unless someone shaved/shaped their hair into like a slur or something.
It's not just the Angloshphere, looking at this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_uniforms_by_country Plenty of countries across Africa, Central/South America, the middle east and Asia have uniforms too.
Yeeeah, that's fair, but we're talking about an anglosphere country, we're talking about dress codes rather than uniforms and I really didn't want to stop to dig into the roots and history of school uniforms anyway.
Point is, dress codes in school are weird.
Hair-based dress code rules are always bullshit. I used to go to a school that required boys' hair to be above the ears, as well. I always thought it was stupid, so did my mom, so she let me grow my hair out and the worst they did was tell me I need to get a haircut.
