Jason Kirkbride’s hair is neat, tidy and short. Too short for Hodgson Academy in England, according to his mother. She says she decided to get the boy’s hair cut a little shorter, so he could go longer between visits to the barber. She got the boy’s hair cut with No. 1 clippers. But school rules say hair should be no shorter than a No. 2. So he got three days detention, she said. School officials refused to comment on the matter.
