You Won’t Believe Why This Schoolgirl Was Kicked Out of Classroom

A 13-year-old schoolgirl, Alisha Sutcliffe, was reportedly kicked out of the classroom and made to have lessons in isolation after showing up at school with her hair styled into five French plaits which she made during a holiday in Turkey.

the plaits

Her mum, Amanda, said: “She came home from school and said a teacher had told her to take them out. She was quite upset because she’d only had them done the a couple of days before so I told her not to, as I couldn’t see why it would be such a big problem for her to keep them in.”

However, when Alisha went back to school the next day, she was removed from assembly and put into isolation for the day as punishment for returning with the plaits.

Her mum continued: “I got a phone call that afternoon telling me what had happened. I couldn’t believe the school had got their priorities so wrong. They denied her of her right to an education just because she had plaits in her hair. Some girls go into school with their hair looking a right mess with big scruffy buns – her hair was tidy and off her face. She doesn’t like getting into trouble and I think the school should be ashamed of caring more about her hair than her education.”

Alisha has now removed the plaits to avoid any more troubles but said: “I don’t think I should have been put in isolation just for having my hair in plaits. I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong and it’s made me really upset. Some teachers even told me they liked them. I think the school should think about punishing people who’ve actually done something seriously wrong.”

Slamming the school for the ‘unnecessary punishment’, her mum added: “It’s completely over the top and I think it’s a ridiculous response to her just having her hair in plaits. Apparently it’s extreme because she has more than one plait, which is ludicrous. You would think she had gone to school with a multi-coloured mohican, when in fact it meant her hair was tidy and tied back. Some of the teachers even told her it looked nice before another decided it was against the rules. What sort of message is that sending pupils?”

She claimed they had previously returned from a holiday with the same style while she was in primary school without any issues and that her daughter’s current school’s guidelines made no reference to plaits.

  • My only concern is her claim that the school guidelines made no reference to that hairstyle.If the hairstyle is against the school regulations,l see no reason why she should tempt the authorities.They have their reasons for being against it.Afterall she was warned to remove it d first day n she still went back with it

  • Misplaced priority, am sure it was a teacher who was a racist that told her to remove them as cornrows were seen as an African hairstyle . anyways she should have peacefully done it to avoid problems since she was not strong enough to take it up wt them if they insisted

  • I did not any see any reason why they should treat her in dt manner. That’s a lovely style, my kind of style.
