This petition is for Woodkirk Academy to change the hair length rule for both male and female students. In the altering of this rule, hair length boundaries would be made more lenient for the students.
The current hair boundaries for MALE students is the top of the collar and no lower.
The current hair boundaries for FEMALE students is approximately waist height.
In the signing of this petition, this would mean a contribution towards the altering of this rule, thus allowing the boundaries to be extended for male and female students of Woodkirk Academy.
I am currently compiling the feedback I have received from students about how these restrictive hair rules impact their daily lives. Please print out a copy of this petition and leave it in the staff room or common area where it can be seen by others. We need people to directly email the school board to explain why current policies are outdated.

The momentum behind this change proves that students are ready for outdated rules to be updated. Post this link on your Facebook wall right now to keep the pressure on the administration.

My daughter got yelled at yesterday just because hers is getting long. She isnt doing anything wrong just growing her hair out. Ridiculous.

Ridiculous rule. My son has had his hair trimmed twice this term already and the school still complains. Just let them have a bit of style.

Let the kids express themselves. Hair length has nothing to do with how good you are at maths.

Waste of time worrying about hair. Keep the focus on education instead of policing how short a boy gets his hair cut.
