"Coiffeur Artistique"

I promise to get that Ivorian school/curriculum/experience post published soon! But a recent notice from school cannot go unblogged. It was a short letter informing us of the upcoming vacation scheduled from Feb. 13-Mar 02. And, upon return, it requested increased diligence in adherence to the school uniform. Those deviating from the rules would be denied entrance to the school. Notably, examples were given of:

"sleeveless shirts, shorts, jeans, and 'artistic haircuts...'"

It made me smile since Mohamed himself was the recent recipient of a trimmed Afro (his apparent preferred style) due to direct comments from his math teacher. In the end, both Mohamed and I were happy with his new style. But still, I remain in mixed emotions about the requirement to get rid of those "coiffeur artistique..."

The boys and their 'fros- still kind of small. After another 2 in.
we managed to get a decent cut with a new beloved barber.
