As for his hair I think the school is over reactting, just today he went back to school and by 9:00 I get a call from school and it's over his hair just because one teacher doesn't like the way he throws his head to oneside to get his out of his face. Both my kids know I will do anything for them and standup for them as long as they don't lie to me. I support them in anything they do they both love music as I said he plays the guitar my daughter plays the drums. I don't force them to play sports or music thats what they want to do so I try to make it happend for them. They both make good grades. But I'm not going to make my son cut his hair just because one teacher don't like it. I told him I don't care if it gets to his butt as long he keeps it clean. Just want to know why he is shutting me out?
His not talking to you is part of the growing up process and will continue as he develops his private life and his set of personal policies.

You also might want to tell teachers to back off the hair issue as well. It serves no purpose, when it comes to your son's education, to harp on what is obviously a teacher's personal preference. Teachers are free to exercise that particular demon within the boundaries of their own family.
