Not lovin' it: School's beef with 'meet me at McDonald's' haircut

A UK school has banned a hairstyle known as the "meet me at McDonald's"- and says anyone sporting the do will be sent home or put in isolation.

Great Yarmouth Charter Academy's headmaster Barry Smith sent a letter to parents saying variations on the style were among seven "unacceptable haircuts for boys".

He warned that children with dodgy dos would "either be sent home to have their hair restyled or placed in isolation until their hair is restyled".

Girls' hair is "generally not a problem at Charter", the letter added, but "boys' hair, in a very small number of cases, is a problem"

It is not clear where the name for this particular style comes from, but a barber in Norwich explained what it is.

"It's a grade zero or a one on the sides, then disconnected with a perm or curly on the top and you have it sitting forwards," Elliot Branford said.

Other "unacceptable" haircuts listed in the school's letter include high tops and shaved parting lines.

Mr Smith's letter went on to say: "Most pupils dress appropriately and most have hairstyles that are not extreme.

"We expect all pupils to meet this standard."

Hmm...I think the un~spoken real story to this one, which I just spotted, is told through this article in the Atlantic.

How to Ask for a 'Hitler Youth' Haircut

"
Clean-cut young men have been going to F.S.C. Barber in the West Village and asking for the same haircut: buzzed on the sides, longer on top and slicked back with a dab of pomade. You could call it a modified McSqueeb, a J. Edgar Hoover or maybe a Jimmy Darmody, after the character in Boardwalk Empire.

But a lot of them just ask for a Hitler Youth, said Sam Buffa, a founding partner of the barbershop. “I was trying to not use that” term, he added."

In 2016 the school was rated inadequate and closed then reopened in 2017. Barry Smith introduced a new behavior policy. McDonald's gets free advertisement. Maybe the next thing will be a Whopperdo.
Great Yarmouth Charter Academy - Wikipedia
The former Great Yarmouth Grammar School, which was founded in 1551, became the comprehensive Great Yarmouth High School in September 1982. In 1998 the school was awarded Technology College Specialist Status and in 1999 was designated V.A (Christian non-denominational) reflecting the terms of its Foundation, under the jurisdiction of Norfolk LEA.[1] In November 2008 the Technology Specialist College status ended as the school became a Humanities Specialist College.

In 2016 the school was rated as "inadequate" in an Ofsted inspection. It was closed and reopened in 2017 as Great Yarmouth Charter Academy,[2] having been taken over by the Inspiration Trust, under the leadership of Barry Smith who introduced a new behaviour policy.[3] A subsequent surprise inspection noted that before the new behaviour policy was introduced, a large number of pupils told the inspector that "they often felt unsafe at school", but that "During this unannounced inspection, all of the large number of pupils who spoke with inspectors said that they now feel safe at school".[4]

The school uses the arms of the town (gules, three lions of England, dimidiated by azure, three herrings argent). The school colours are black and red.
