A school in Wales punished a student who shaved his head to raise money for charity, until 250 other students went on strike to defend him.

Bravo for all these students.

The school head claims that this punishment was a matter of maintaining "high standards". He said nothing to explain how a shaven head is less "high" than an unshaven one. Is he measuring "height of standards" based on the height of the student's hair? Perhaps that school would be better off if its head were shorn.
