Just a though here, and forgive me if I am wrong, but do you think the school would still have sent the letter if the clothes that Sunnie was not those of a boy? In that, if the jeans she wore were better fitting and the shirt be that of a girl's shirt? And the hair could be combed into a flattering style that many young ladies wear. I just went back and looked at the video and the pictures again, she does look like a boy. I do not think the school was demanding that she not wear jeans or t shirts, but they would like them to be a young girl's t and jeans. As for the hair, again I am not sure that the school was demanding that her hair be long, but styled. I understand that the family may not have much money, but how much does a hair cut cost... beauty colleges do cuts for as little as $15. Perhaps the grandparents kept it short because they did not have time to help her fix it in the mornings. Oh well, I am a guy, what do I know? Glad I have boys!

You know, Scripture says we are suppose to abide by the Law of the Land. Here in America especially, the Law of the Land was established upon the Goodness of the Lord God and if you lived within his teachings that included as well the Laws of the Land so you didn't have to worry bout it.
Here in our country the Law stipulates that a child becomes "of age" at 18 years old. They can sign documents and legal papers on their own, and simply are considered an adult. During childhood, adolescents, and teen years minors are the responsibility of the Parents. Anything that happens to them is on the Parents- of course, "but to our Spiritual God as well."
Parents are to bring their children up wisely, and in good instruction.
When this little girls Grandparents (legal guardians) enrolled her into a Christian School, signing to abide by their standards and policies, what would have been the problem of having her dress feminine during school as standards state, then dress tomboyish once home.
Grandparents are sweet and wonderful, liking to spoil their grandchildren and feel guilt and overly sympathetic for what ever happened to their own child- the natural parent.
Here they are teaching their grandchild to ignore Standards, Policies, and Rules, per possibly their own internal dilema. Is this Right? The world doesn't stop for one particular case, and should it?
Out of four sisters, I was the only one that was rather tomboyish, but was brought up from ot to be taught that dresses and feminine dress was the call for school and church. After that, I would get in my jeans and t-shirts to climb trees, ride bikes, hunt bull-frogs, and such. I remained balanced as to what was right, what was wrong in that sense, and don't baulk at various organizations, schools, and employers requirements. Have been married, had children, even though I still prefer my jeans and t-shirts "on my own time." Anything wrong with this?
