Jason Smith is the principal of Stony brook Intermediate and Middle School in Warren Township, Indiana. An eighth grade student ended up in his office after refusing to take his hat off at school. "I sat down with him and asked him why and what was going on. He said he just got his haircut and didn't like the way it looked. He thought his hairline looked a little funny," Smith said. So, he offered to cut the student's hair, if he agreed to go back to class.
"I've been cutting hair most of my life. I played college basketball, cut my teammates' hair before games, and I've been cutting my son's hair for 17 years. So, I had professional clippers(理发剪) at home. I said, 'If I go home and get my clippers and line you up, will you go back to class?' He said, 'Yeah, I will,'" Smith said.
Smith is being praised by many people online after the story and photos were posted to Facebook. "This morning a student refused to take off his hat and go to class so he was sent to the principal’s office. Instead of putting the child out of school, this is what our principal Mr. Jason Smith did after he had a long talk with the student," Lewis Speaks wrote. "And guess what happen after that. The student thanked the principal, said sorry for his behavior and then went to class." While a perfect haircut may seem unimportant to some, Smith says he knows that to a middle school boy, it can mean the world.
