Where I went to HS, the guys with heavy growth on their faces would be called down to the vice principal's office and given a disposable razor and a can of shaving cream and sent to the bathroom and be cleanshaven when they came out, with suspension the alternative to immediate compliance.

“Good grief his eyebrows look like Demi Moore's privates.” Best comment ever. Also. School has a dress code, news at 11.

The American Mustache Institute has participated in a similar issue in the U.S., and ultimately prevailed in over turning a school district policy against facial hair.  AMI's web site is www.AmericanMustacheInstitute.org and you can read about the issue here:  http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/122807dnmetmustacheboy.1c81a01.html

The more I hear from the UK, the more I hate the country.  And no, there is no other developed country in which 14-year old kids get kicked out of schools (private or not) for baby-mustaches.

There was this girl that I went to school with that should have been sent home for the same reason.

“he's only 14 and if he starts now he'll have to do it for the rest of his life.” He's going to be shaving for the rest of his life anyway. It doesn't matter when he starts.

My old school had single use razors in the office, I remember when I was prefect I had to teach a dozen or so guys how to shave.

We had the same rule at my private high-school.. ^^

He should not have been banned over his moustache. He should have been banned over his uni-brow.  Good grief his eyebrows look like Demi Moore's privates.
