Most teachers would easily resort to punishment if they ever encountered a stubborn learner who did not abide by the school’s rules.
However, Jason Smith, the principal of US school Stonybrook Intermediate and Middle School is a different breed.
The patient man noticed that one student insisted on wearing a hat to class. This went against the institution’s regulations.

The young boy was sent to Jason’s office and the outcome of the encounter could have easily been a suspension or detention.
Instead, the principal sat the boy down, had a pep talk and proceeded to give him a haircut.
The young boy admitted he was on the wrong and apologised for disrupting the lesson.
He even thanked Jason for being kind enough to shave his head instead of calling his parents or punishing him.
The principal told WRTV during an interview:
“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 and edgers at home."

In a tweet on Thursday, January 14, the lady shared her first yearbook photo as a school teacher, saying that got her really emotional.
While most people praised her looks as cool, many tweeps said that her nose rings and ear piercings made her 'professionally' unfit for a teacher.
