A school put a pupil into isolation for his 'extreme' haircut - even though he has been sporting it for the last three years.
Kieran London was stuck in a booth on his own after falling foul of Raynes Park High School's uniform policy.
The 14-year-old was forced to do all his work inside the booth - even during breaks - but his mum Jenni was so disgusted that she has kept him out of school for two days to keep him out of isolation.
Teaching assistant Jenni complained to the school, arguing that the isolation booth breaches her son's basic human rights.

She said: "He's always had the same haircut but now they have just suddenly decided it's too short and they have put him in isolation, in a little booth on his own.
"I'm absolutely disgusted. He goes to school to learn.
"That's why I send him there, but he's just been sat there doing a worksheet for two days.
"He even has to be in there at break and lunch."
She added: "It's depriving him of his basic human rights. He goes to school for an education, which I would say means being taught by a teacher, not sitting alone with a worksheet.

The school, based in south-west London, has defended their actions, claiming that the booth is an Achievement Improvement Centre - and is used instead of sending students home for a uniform breach.
Headteacher Kirsten Heard said: "We consider that a severe haircut, where the scalp is visible, is not in line with our Uniform Policy and we have kindly requested that our students have a longer version of this current style."
She added: "We see the students as ambassadors of our school and they are expected to dress and behave in a way that reflects the high standards we seek to achieve."

:-\This would be hilarious but for the feelings of the kid involved. I have never heard of a code for too short hair! His hair looks reasonable to me. Must be some really strange shcool.
I am sure there are many a youngster that has skin head or even shorter hair than this lad...he is now a teenager at 14..and I don't think his hairstyle looks bad in any way.
Will have to keep a check on what happens from this from now on and see if other issues get mentioned..
The way I see it unless its a Law...or doing any one some harm or maybe seen as threatening..like some of the past punk Rock styles... I don't see anything wrong with it..

Does that mean that Donald Trump's haircut is also "extreme"? :P
