Every organization (a school is also an organization) has its policy. If you are not fine with the policy, you are not forced to go there or put your child there. Will you also say say that there is absolutely nothing wrong in letting a boy sag his trousers in school or tuck-in his shirt and that a school that says that is making a stupid policy. There is what is called a dress code and having a low cut is part of a dress code. In some schools, a hair style is given to the girls at the end of the week for which every student that is not on a low cut has to adhere to. Is that also a stupid policy because a school is not allowing you to braid or plait your own hair style?.

FreeWorld23:
Yes now. They should barb their hair to "gorimapa" level

8BitGee:


What are you on about. How the fvck does plaiting or styling one's hair compare to sagging?

Again, what is the business of a school in dictating what hairstyle to plait? To what end?

People need to understand their priorities and get serious! This is fvcking 2016!!!

ChappyChase:

How I feared that school...

englishmart:
lol. You know the school?

NL1960:


A school says this is our policy and if you are not satisfied with it, take your child to another school. After all, there are several schools that will meet what you need. A school does not have to conform to what you want. As you say, this is fvcking 2016 and i want my boy to sag his trousers and i want my girl to do a Rihanna or a Beyonce or a Jennifer Aniston.

When wearing of casual clothes as normal daily wear were abolished in the Unity schools then as a part of a policy and replaced with check shirts, some parents did not like it as they wanted their kids to always wear the latest fashion trends in school. So, they removed their kids from the Unity schools to schools that were allowing wearing of causal clothes of any type. QED.

Btw, i have a cousin who removed his daughter because of this low cut of hair and took her to the one that allows plaiting of hair. The space she vacated was quickly taken by a parent who was comfortable with the policy.

NL1960:


To me, it is not hypocrisy. The hair of that white girl is her natural hair. She did not put attachment or weaves. Will you for instance allow your daughter's hair to remain in her natural state and become afro. A black person's hair and texture is different from that of a white person. In my daughter's primary school for instance, parents have been told not to use beads and all sorts of colours for their daughter's hair but you need to see what some mothers put on the hair of their small kids in the name of fashion. If you sent the child home for correction, you need to see the so-called coming to the school to vibrate and insult teachers. You will see some with so many beads that the child's head will be heavy. Some mothers will use up to 12 different colours. So, iam sure for the catholic schools to avoid all these drama, they just tell you to keep your natural hair low and if you do not want, then you take your child to another school that allows all sorts of hair styles.

Omotayor123:
Yeah.

NL1960:


Thanks. She wants to be close to her brother. That is why she herself is rooting for HCC. The choices were St Gregory/HCC or CKC/LGHS or Lumen Cristi/Presentation. The boy is now in St Gregory and the girl going to LGHS might present a big logistic challenge of shuttling especially on visiting days and vacation days. Iam still researching sha. I still have a lot of time to make the final decision. The Louisville Sisters are very tough and of a very high moral standard. So, not surprised at what they are doing in LGHS.

mamawin:
well, the hair thing was the least of all. she's in d uni now, can do whatever she likes with her hair. I do not really care, but it was that the school allowed the girl and her brother many things that 'we' must never tried, my reason for calling them that name. And parents these days are something else, dress little kids up like they're going for fashion parade, na real wa.

uzolexis:


At the bolded, you are truly well informed. LGHS is to girls as CKCC is to boys, same with HCC and St. Greg. My brothers were in CKCC while I was in LGHS, and same for most other pple too

Lies, I went to an ajebo secondary school in all sense of the word "ajebo". Many prominent Nigerians had their kids there and the school fees was really expensive but we all kept low cut. It was an only girls school though, owned by Sisters of St. Louis.

mottecco:
Which control una dey talk about. E get some schools wey girls' haircuts be insult to the parent teacher association of the school. Come see styles like footballers' own.Anything wey we wan do abeg, let us do it well.If we allow them make hair or do gorimapa,moderation and modesty should be our watchword.

rakabuba001:
You forgot this, to avoid hairstyle competition with their teachers. I've observed female teachers have this natural and irrational hate towards their female students ...especially the fine fine ones.
