Hair Cut Specifics

The other day Titus came home with an unexpected homework assignment. In the "other" section of his homework journal was written "haircut". He explained that his teacher had asked him to write it down because his hair was too long and for each day he returned to school with it un-cut he would receive a demerit. Titus was really bugged.

We waited for Bryce to get home. He went straight to the source, the student handbook which states, under the heading "General Appearance":

Students should be habitually clean and dressed neatly. The school uniform is to be worn on all class days and for all public school functions... Boys should have their hair trimmed regularly...

The next few minutes were spent wondering why anyone would include such an non specific rule in the handbook.

For example, "What do they mean by regular? That just means at even intervals. Every six months is regular, or every two years for that matter."

"What about trimmed?!? Half an inch could be cut off waist length hair and that could be called trimmed!"

You get the idea. You have to be specific around these guys.

There was some talk of resisting the injunction. Titus didn't want to be told when to get his hair cut, after all, and nobody felt like taking a trip down the dusty street to the barber.

But, since Titus doesn't actually care how long his hair is, they finally decided to go.

The pictures are pre-cut. What do you think? Too long? I don't have any after pictures because it looks like the camera isn't waterproof anymore.
