When it comes to setting rules for kids, the more specific you are, the better chance you have of getting them followed. It's a lesson I've learned the hard way as a mom. And it's a lesson more school administrators should take to heart ... schools like the one that made 15-year-old Shannon Close sit in an isolation room all day for dyeing her hair red. Shannon's mom is spitting mad right now, and I don't blame her. Her daughter's school has a policy about hair, but all it says is "hair color and style must be appropriate for school." Are you thinking what I'm thinking?![]()
