Teacher Cuts Braid Because 7 Year Old Won't Stop Playing With Her Hair!

This is a damn shame. A Milwaukee teacher cut off a 7-year-old's braid after she absentmindedly kept playing with her hair. Um, isn't that what 7-year-olds do...act up? If a teacher can't handle a fidgety first grader, then she should probably look for a new line of work.

If I had a daughter and she came home from class with less hair than she went to school with, I'd be real tempted to schedule a parent/teacher "conference"...and make sure she didn't have any hair when she showed up for work the next day.
