I'd read what you wrote, I didn't ask if there was a correlation between the appearance of a student and whether they were a "good" or "bad" kid. I asked if there was a correlation between the appearance of a student and their attitude towards learning.
To clarify, a student or any individual for that matter that has a poor attitude towards learning is not necessarily a bad person.
It seems more often than not that the type of people who tend to be defiant towards the "establishment"(ie school)with displays of non-compliance with the rules have priorities that lie in other areas than actually obtaining an education. However, there are undoubtly exeptions. These people are more concerned with "being heard" or "being seen" or "having made a statement" that they've lost track of why they are actually at school in the first place, to obtain an education............
Ask yourself this, or beter yet ask your students, how many of them dyed their hair red, blue, pink, yellow, etc. because they loved the color and had desire to do so for most of their life. Then ask them how many of them dyed their hair because it was against the rules or because they wanted to be "cool" like the others who had "gone against the grain"
I believe it is important to stand up for individual rights and the rights of others. If there are issues that are preventing an individual from succeeding in any walk of life due to race or religion, I believe those issues need to be dealt with.
I believe it boils down to one thing, is it worth fighting for? To expand, does not dying you hair prevent you from obtaining an education? Does not dying your hair prevent you from developing worthwhile friendships at school?
To close, have you spent so much time and expended that much effort proving to the "establishment" why you should be able to have dyed hair , long hair, or no hair at all that you forgot to listen to what the teacher was saying or study for your test? Are you working at a job that is beneath your ability but on par with your education because you were intent on proving "them" wrong? For something as trivial as hair color, I hope not!
