Parent versus School Rules

To some it may seem quite trivial that a school makes a pupil remove red,white and blue ribbons from her hair but…….before a child joins the school she/he and the parents will have a look around and be given various bits of literature about the school…..the parents will be given a school policy booklet explaining uniform requirements, rules, behaviour policies etc…..by accepting a place at the school you are saying that you agree to terms and conditions that the school sets. Schools need to run like clockwork otherwise they wont be able to deliver the goods ie: the best education for the children……..if parents object to school uniform policies that the school have set then they have sent their child to the wrong school.

I think the school made the wrong decision not to allow the actual ” Jubilee day” to be more “loose” about their uniform policy for this occasion…. but what i don’t understand is, weren’t the schools shut for that bank holiday day? if so the child wouldn’t have been at school on the day of the jubilee, so in that case, the mother must have chosen to allow her daughter to just go to school on another day around the time of the jubilee out of the correct school uniform, so the school were well within their rights to demand she take them out of her hair. And indeed i applaud their stance on this.
