Toby Quinn, 15, was put in isolation for a full day because he had a mullet. The Sunderland schoolboy had previously been punished for having short hairA 15-year-old boy was put in isolation for a full day and told to shop off his mullet because the hairdo is 'too extreme', his mother says.
Toby Quinn was separated from his classmates and put in isolation after his teachers told him his Aussie-style trim was 'unacceptable and unprofessional'Toby's mother Naomi, 47, said the school considered her son's new haircut as extreme 'He did get isolated for having it, he got separated from the school community and he was there for the rest of the day.'Strangely they relaxed that haircut rule and they were allowed to have skin fades. He was the only boy with a mullet in school and they didn't like it.'That was about four weeks ago, they'd given him seven days to get rid of the hair.
And on Tuesday, Toby had his mullet cut off for Newcastle Hospitals Charity to support a ward which saved his grandad's life last year. 'He wasn't happy at all though to lose the mullet, he said he was fuming. But he's come to terms with it, he's had a few weeks to digest it.'I suggested it would be good to raise money for the unit that saved his grandad last year.'But he's a typical teenager so he's pretty chilled about it all.''But then I thought about doing the fundraiser and making a bit of money for charity and I felt better about it.
