The school that banned mirrors to teach girls a lesson

Instead of ignoring how they look, they should be taught to embrace the way they look - and love themselves, no matter how they look.

Great! Women have years to waste their money on makeup, these girls will save thousands of dollers by the time they are adults LOL. Uniforms are a good idea too, a way to equalize people. School is for learning.

girls need to realize that they will never be more beautiful than they are right now. they are victimized by the glamor industry.

I think that moderation and education should be the lesson here. There is plenty of time for the girls to wear makeup outside of school hours. School is for learning not dating. Maybe this is a good thing. I wonder though, what are the boys learning? What was taken away from them?

Denying these young women this rite of passage is the crime here. It has nothing to do with distractions or learning or how they look with or without makeup; it's part of being a teen-aged girl and everything that comes with it. It's like saying 'you don't need salt and pepper, the food is just as nourishing without it'.

We need this thinking in the USA. Thes self centered kids are our future? God help us all when these idiots grow up...

Ugly girls are the best. They are grateful , very accomodating and very agreeable.

I suspect those behind this are fat ugly women for who a truckload of make up would do no good....attractive women rarely complain about vanity..its the fat ugly ones who would like to be vain but have nothing to base it on.

Is there a ban on pocket mirrors as well? Or on a bit larger ones that can fit into a book bag? What are the girls to do if it is a bit windy on their way to school and they arrive with their hair blown severely out of place? Or when it has rained and they got wet? And does anyone want to be that there will be no girls who will try to sneak into the boy's bathroom for a quick look in the mirror? Or arrive late to class after running down to the gym locker room? Once again, officious martinets put in charge of children take a meat ax to a problem that best could be resolved with effective teaching and mentoring.

Reality their tired being sued from perverted bus drivers.

Women have been brainwashed into thinking that they need makeup and perfume - its as if women have been told they're ugly and stink ...

What a**holes.

I certainly hope the female teachers are banned from wearing makeup. Not much of a lesson if they are all foofed up and the girls have to go au natural.

Things that should be banned. Make Up, the genie bra, and any other breast enhancing products that when removed they just return to normal.. and sag.. what a lie.. great way to disappoint a guy

Make-up should be banned across the world. All it does is render attractive chicks stupid with no sense of humor because they spend 9 hours a day humping a mirror. And no amount of make-up can save an ugly/fat chick, so basically the mere existance of make-up is a lose-lose situation.

what about the gays! more of them in England then girls! just unfair they have mirrors!!!!

i never did get the makeup thing.if you need to paint your face to look good,something is very wrong indeed,i always wonder what the female reaction would be if it were men that needed paint to look presentable,at least with men what you see is what you get

Good idea...no more makeup stains on my shorts at BJ time in PE..

Maybe they should ban teachers who are terrible at managing classroom time instead. You know, to "teach them a lesson."

I always found it ironic that cosmetic companies would tout their products as making you look "natural" ....like your own skin isn't natural.
