Editor’s Note: This week, we are allowing some of our bloggers to “Sound Off” about what they don’t like about OHP. Ohio Hi-Point, like any other school, is not perfect (I know, hard to believe!). And we want to paint an honest picture about life in our high school. So we asked some bloggers to share their dislikes!
As most of you know, I love OHP, but, with everything else in the world there are things that I don’t like about it as well…
I really can’t stand the hair color policy!!! – I mean I understand that for some labs it is “not professional,” however, for labs such as Cosmetology and Printing & Graphics, which are both labs that you would use creativity in everyday, why should we be limited in expressing our individualities to everyone !? And another reason teachers are against the hair colors such as hot pink, purple, green, blue etc. is because it is distracting, but I don’t understand how? And people should respect the way others express themselves to the world and not hate on it so darn much!
I also can’t stand the facial piercing policy, I understand that we should not have an overwhelming amount of metal in our beautiful faces. However, a nose ring? That is sooo common now-a-days and many business people have them! I think it should be based on the lab, and “professional appearance” for that lab should determine whether or not the student can have it or not!
Many would say that this would be unfair to those students who wish to have the piercings and can’t and those who are allowed, but it all boils down to how much you want your future to shine and go on with your life and the rules no matter how much you hate them! Because there are rules everywhere!
All in all, when I look at it in a different light, I see that these little things aren’t that BIG of a deal and have not hindered my mad love for this school!!! OHP has given me so many more opportunities. Even some private schools are way less giving to their students and could care less whether they succeed or fail…. And I know OHP has my back!
