Never? Speak for your own family
My teen boys grow a wonderful looking beard[/quote]

+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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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?[/quote]

There is a makeup rule. They will make you wash off too much makeup.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
