And the happy, smiling faces just don’t stop. Here’s the third instalment of HOME YOU GO, our annual collection of schoolkids feeling the wrath of their teachers for daring to turn up for the new term without the right uniform.
Grimsby Telegraph: Kiddiewink put into isolation because of his “extreme” haircut
The rules say “No hair shaved number two or shorter”, so in he strolls with a number two and it hits the fan.
Mum says she’s taking him out of school for a month, so we’ll revisit this story when it reaches its inevitable climax.
Still it’s nice when mum and son get matching haircuts.
And the video (from which the above is a still) has the poor lad internally screaming “Mum! Shut up! I’m going to catch hell over this. FOREVER!”
The video also had me asking where I’d seen mum’s blouse. Then I remembered it’s the arm rest on my sofa.
Spooky, huh?
Anyway…..
Nottingham Post: Girl put into isolation because of her red hair, non-compliant shoes and “unacceptable” trousers
Otherwise a perfectly acceptable first day of term.
“They also complained about the colour of her hair, which has not changed for three or four years but has never been a problem before.”
Yeah, turns out it is now.
The same school put 70 other pupils into isolation on the first day, once again in its newly-constructed solitary confinement wing.
Kent Messenger: Girl “treated like a prisoner” after turning up at school with dyed hair
The Messenger picks up the story and borrows our FUMMIN KLAXON.
“Dad Chris said he was ‘fuming’ and added: ‘I understand they try to enforce conformity to all the students but this is just plain ridiculous. Locking her up in solitary confinement? Like prison? It’s not acceptable to treat a child like this.’”
Sucks, guy.
Dip-dyed hair and patent leather shoes, and mum [not pictured because REASONS] has gone absolutely ballistic.
“But since the school has been renamed again, they’ve had all this stupid rubbish about shoes and hair.
“I’ve reported them to Ofsted because it’s ridiculous, I was FUMMIN”
But here’s the offending shoes. GUILTY AS CHARGED (though we’re not sure, exactly, what the charge is).
Sheffield Star: Girl is one of 25 kiddiewinks sent home from school for wearing non-compliant footwear
Her crime? Shoes that look too much like trainers.
OK, they look a bit like trainers, but they’re not shoey enough for the Uniform Police, so HOME YOU GO.
And one from the archives:
It’s Daily Mail from 2014, so they’re not getting a link — Kiddiewink put into isolation for extreme haircut.
Yeah, that doesn’t look too bad from the front, let’s go look round the back and…
JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH! You paid £200 for that?!?!?!
It’s supposed to be a VW symbol because the kiddiewink likes cars. They’ve been rinsed.
More HOME YOU GO to follow, we dare say.
