I guess I'd feel different if I went to a school that allowed pink hair. But I didn't. It's not "mindlessly following rules" it's learning what battles to fight. Is crappily dyed pink hair worth a semester of F's? I mean sure an interesting admissions essay, but perhaps her choices of schools will shrink due to the grades.

In the grand scheme of things, pink hair is NOT such a big deal. While on one hand that could mean that the school shouldn't care so much, the parent should also be teaching the kid to pick her battles.
