| Subject: Ridiculous: Haircut costs student marks in chemistry exam Wed Sep 17, 2014 10:55 pm | |
| A high school student in Sydney's west has had the razor taken to his exam results over a new haircut.
Dominic Kiehn, 17, has been penalised 20 per cent on his chemistry exam after showing up to All Saints Catholic Senior College in Casula with a haircut that breached the school's uniform policy.
The Year 11 student was stopped before entering the chemistry exam on Tuesday for sporting stubble and having an undercut hair style.
"I felt like (the teacher) was trying to make an example out of me," he said.
"Some people have worse haircuts than I do.
"It felt like they had the priority wrong, that it was more about the image than the education."
