SIR: I think the story in the BEN (June 20) about a young boy not being allowed into an exam was appalling.

There are lots of young boys with this type of hair cut these day and as long as it's tidy I can't understand what the problem is.

I think his mother is right about it and I think that he shouldn't be cancelled out just because of a hair cut.
