Do any of the high schools have any policies regarding facial hair?

It's low class and trashy? Requiring shaving instills the importance of a personal hygiene and clean-cut appearance in young men? Nobody is paying $10,000 to $50,000 a year for their teen to be surrounded by bums who roll out of bed and come to school in their pajamas with gross facial hair.

And the moment I see your greasy haired child at school I will complain about their hygiene.

Schools will report kids to parents for hygiene issues especially the lack of deodorant.

Mustaches and beards on high schoolers never look great.

Never? Speak for your own family
My teen boys grow a wonderful looking beard

+1. My son is quite handsome with his mustache and goatee. He started getting mustache at 11. Now he is 15 and looks 19-20.

He looks like this stock image

it's the schools' decision. You are more than welcome to find the school with a policy in line with your expectations but it is really a silly thing to complain if a school does have policies regarding facial hair as they will have policies regarding all forms of dress and grooming. As a PP commented, the military requires clean shaven faces and somehow that has never caused a controversy.

We are already at a school we like their policy (or non policy about policing boys) fine. I only commented on PP saying they never look good.

If the policy were to require girls to have hair on their legs their legs, we’d collectively be in an uproar just like we are when schools require girls to wear skirts. But when an unjust rule only impacts boys, people don’t care.

There are private schools that do require girls to wear skirts as part of their uniform. Or schools that require ties and specific dress codes or ban earrings and so forth.

You've made your views clear enough. I'm not bothered by schools that ban facial hair on students. I do see why and it's not an issue for me. Both options exist, so find the school that meets your expectations.

Clothing is not the best comparison. Requiring girls to shave their legs would be most comparable. Are there any schools that require girls to shave their legs? How would you feel if there were?

There is a makeup rule. They will make you wash off too much makeup.

Makeup is not the same. It’s something you optionally put on your face. Facial hair is natural growing. Not the same. I get that privates can have whatever rule they want. But let’s not pretend it’s a sexist rule if they don’t require girls to shave their legs.

Bad example because boys don’t save their legs.

I agree. I was surprised to see so much gross facial hair on several Catholic school football players in the playoffs. Does the facial hair policy not apply to athletes?

Please stop calling facial hair gross. We get it you don’t like it but you’re being culturally and racially insensitive and it’s also very much your opinion. I think greasy hair white boys with hair past their ears are gross but I don’t keep repeating in on a forum.

Boys hair can’t be over the ears or touch their collar.

And girls don’t shave their beards (mostly). It’s a prefect example.

Even if the hair is 2 inches long it can still be greasy and unclean.

Facial hair is not culturally or racially specific. Sorry, you can't play that argument.

It is for some and the the fact that you don’t know anything about it says more about you.

It’s not unique to any race or nationality. Anyone can have facial hair and many do. Clearly you can’t grasp that simple concept. The more you know!

This!

Gross and of course he could control it, just shave. Millions of men do this every day……not difficult.

You're a woman. I trust that you have lasered off all of your body hair (arms, legs, groin) so that it never grows back and that you keep your own "gross" hair on your head at a hygienic, not-gross length of maybe 1 cm? Right? Since hair is gross, you _also_ should not have hair.



otherwise you're just spouting your visual preferences and imposing them on other people.

It's almost like you're unfamiliar with what wearing a uniform is for.

The topic isn’t uniforms. Try to keep up

Your ignorance is astounding. Go talk to your HR director about facial hair policies and discrimination.

I think we all intuitively know GDS wouldn’t have physical appearance policies, save for a prohibition on certain message t-shirts.

Same with our boys' Catholic high school; lots of different hair styles and facial hair.

Which school is that. Gz, heights and prep have facial hair rules

The military has exemptions for religion and Pseudofolliculitis barbae.

Why are you so unable to grasp that a private school can have rules regarding facial hair? You really do not understand facial hair is not solely attributed to a single race or nationality. Your are just not wired right to get that.

And nobody wants to see a nasty, unkempt, food-filled beard in the hallways at school Learn to shave.
