[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many MS and US students that have dyed here in fun colors. LS students are not allowed to.[/quote]

This is correct. Same goes for nails. LS girls can't paint their nails (clear is OK), but MS girls can.

Source: I have DDs in both and they taunt each other about who gets which privileges.[/quote]

WTF. Why do they police girls’ bodies?

My daughter and her friends adored painting their nails at that age. It’s completely harmless and not their purview.  [/quote]
Then don’t send her to Holton. There are lots of choices. [/quote]

But why would any school police finger nails?

Shirts with slogans, I get. But nails and hair? That is almost exclusively a type of self expression for girls. It’s teaching them that others know better for their bodies. We have a country that looks the other way on sexual abuse. Girls must be taught bodily autonomy, full stop. [/quote]

Or it’s not that deep. A quick google search will show you that this is a common policy at many schools, including in foreign countries. Maybe schools just don’t want to deal with the distraction.

Again, if you don’t like the policy, just pick a different school to apply to. It really is that easy. [/quote]
