Let me just let you know Seth. Matthews teacher did call me a few weeks ago telling me she hated his hair and that it drove her nuts she don't like the skater hair. Well I asked her if it was because he had it in front of his eyes and that he was playing with it and she clearly stated NO it just drove her nuts. On the day this happeded I would like to let you know there was two other theachers in the room at the time. One of the theacher stood up to his theacher and said this " Matthew isnot a problem child in this class he listens to all of us and he is never trouble." Oh and the other theacher also said to her he always raises his hand with out being called on. So as you see he is a good kid and isnot missing nothing from having his hair long..I would like to say also she added your not his hairdresser by the way.. About what he did on the news and nothing I wanted him to do Amy from the news is the one who told him to do that and I as a parent was not happy she showed that and feel yes it was wrong... I'am a good mother to my kids and never treat them wrong in anyway but we all have the right to look the way we want. If he would have put the tape on another child or even the theacher he would have been throw out of school....Do you have children in school these day? Or if so do they go to Private school?
