http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/little-girls-big-bow-banned-4-old-hairstyle-220000255.html

This article is about a 4 year-old who wasn't allowed to be in her school photos because of her hairstyle. She had a bow made out of her hair that her dad made, and she was told she didn't follow the school's guidelines. Though she didn't technically break any of the rules.

A T.O.K. knowledge question, from this article, could be: To what extent are teachers allowed to restrict the child's creativeness if she didn't technically break the rules?
