It’s so unfair!

Why do rules that apply to everyone else have to apply to me?

The kid is now getting one to one education.

Perhaps not so dumb after all.

I had to wear a cap at his age.

He looks like a thug.If he is a thug, job done, if he isn't, it's a st look.

Just tried to post this on the Facebook group Angry people in local newspapers... someone has beaten me to it.

Nice little accusation of casual racism thrown in for good measure.

That article is almost like a competition for the writer to contradict every line with the next one.

He didn’t even want a haircut and it was our mistake for cutting it too short - then - Ethan occasionally does child modelling and his signature mohican often helps him get jobs.“People know him for his mohican.”

Ethan can’t cope with going to the hairdressers because of his sensory problems. The buzzing of the clippers and the hair in his face really distresses him. - then - He’s had this haircut since he was seven and it was never a problem in primary school

Surely it takes less time just to buzz the full head that a carefully prepared mohawk? Ridiculous haircut anyway.

So he can't stand the clippers at a barbers but home is ok
And apparently his sensory issues dont stop him in a modeling studio?

I don't see any good guys in that story.

Yes it's a silly excuse and if he knew that haircut was against the rules then he shouldn't have done it just before school. Then the suggestion that he's being racially discriminated against is the silly icing on the daft cake.

But equally, when it said 'mohawk' I was thinking of something like Vivian off the Young Ones, big multicoloured spikey thing, with chains and ear rings and a bone through his nose. That's hardly a wild haircut in my book. And I'm hardly a wild fashionista myself.

Edited when I looked again and saw that he is probably part Afro Caribean.

Who does he model for, Jewsons?

[Pothole]

At least his parents know what to call it in ENGLISH.
