Yea, I'm sure it would amuse me for a class period or two, but then I'd get over it. Okay, so that's how they style their hair, what's the big deal? And if enough students were walking around with hair that way, no one would care and it's whatever.

A 15-year-old girl who was suspended from school a week for dyeing her hair "Rihanna red" amazingly got a little support from the singer herself. "U are my hero Terry Bancroft!!!!! The color of your hair doesn’t change who u are, you are an A- grade student #1love," Rihanna tweeted.
Apparently, by the time RiRi sent her tweet on May 4, Terri (of north Wales) had already dyed her hair back to brown, after being told she would not be allowed back to the classroom until she returned to a more natural color, The Daily Mail reports.
While the A student was worried about her grades, she never expected to get support from one of the world's biggest pop stars. "Terri has been a little bit shocked and a little bit embarrassed. She found out from a phone call minutes after the tweet went up. She is a fan but she didn’t do it to copy her, it's amazing that she found out about it and tweeted about it," her mother Anne-Marie said, according to the Mail.
"The school put her in consequences because of her hair. It’s the room where they put naughty kids. She wasn’t allowed out on breaks, she had to be escorted to the dining room and was segregated from her friends." Do you think Rihanna did the right thing butting in? Or should Terri follow school rules?

+19I never got the whole freak-out about dying your hair 'unnatural' colours. It's a big deal at the school (I used to) go to as well. The excuse was always "it will distract other students!" Trust me. If I was sitting in the classroom looking at the back of some head that looked even as colourful as this:

the point im trying to make is i dont suspened kids becuase of there hair color they choose the change it to thats like fireing a model for his/her tattoos
"The only colour I should wear
Should be on my hair
Now, that my dear, should be as bright as a flare." - Monica Colby
Now, in all truthfulness, it is a difficult hair colour to have - you get A LOT of attention. But I'm ok with that, and if she is too they should let her rock it!
It's sad that in this day and age things like this are still happening. Adversity should be celebrated - not hindered or hidden.
There are rules.. people need to follow them. If you want to change them please try.
Second, people claim it's 'disruptive'... well, I went to a school where we didn't have a dress code, one kid went around in wooden shoes (contrary to what some people think, the Dutch do *not* normally wear those anymore, some farmers do but not in town/school), some kids had brightly colored mohawks (this was the 80's :)), and one teacher returned from a holiday in Saudi Arabia with one of those dresses and wore it to school sometimes. Sure, the first time any of them came into class, it was a distraction. We looked, commented... for a few minutes. Then the teacher called us to order, and we went on with the lesson, and life went on. Maybe the most easily distracted kids giggled about it a bit longer but then something else happened, or something else was said, and they too went on with something else. Now, I read about this incident that happened in North Wales while I'm in the Netherlands -how's that for distracting? It's not the hair color, but the restrictive rules that are causing the greatest disruption, take it in stride and everyone would've long gone with their lessons.
But as you were saying, people get over little things like that quickly. It's the buzz for ten (that's generous) five minutes TOPS!
Person 1: Hey! Did you see Lauren yesterday?
Person 2: With her purple hair? Mmhmm. Looks cool.
Person 1: Yea, I like how she did the bang part. I was thinking about doing the same but with, like, pink.
Person 2: Oh! I should get mine in blue.
Person 1: Yea!
Person 2: With maybe green streaks!
Person 1: Let's do it Saturday!
Person 2: Oh, can't. Kevin's game.
Person 1: Kevin's on a team? What sport?
etc etc etc everybody moves on with their lives etc.

It is pretty gorgeous though @_______@
Different and unique I will give you. Will it cause distraction, yup it will. That is probably why they did it.
I didn't have the chemicals quite right in my pool one year. One of my girls swam in it and well she had some strange color of green hair. I took her into school and explained what happened. They didn't have a problem with it. We had it dyed the next day.
