A Cottrill seems to be missing the point with reference to my son Oliver's hair (Letters, May 12). The fact is he has been at school with the same hairstyle for the past eight months, so why is the school picking on him now?

Also, I would like to point out there are many other children at the school with blonde lines and highlights. They should not pick on one child. Surely all the children should be treated the same?

What connection is there between hairstyles and defiance?

So, "yes" is the answer to A Cottrill's question. It was worth it as my son is not going to be victimised.
