“Twice The Allowed Length.”
I went to a private school that had a conservative rule about the length of a boy’s hair. One guy had hair that was about down to his chin, which was way past the limit. He was given repeated warnings and write-ups to get it cut over a two-month period until, finally, the principal said his hair was twice the allowed length, and he needed to cut it by half.
The next week he showed up to school with half of his head buzzed. We thought it was hilarious, but he was suspended for a week and wasn’t allowed to return until the rest of his hair was the same length.
