- School starts in three weeks---do I buy all of the supplies on the list, or try to 'get by' until we move? Do I make him get a hair cut so the vice principal will stay off his back---or do I let him leave it long as the new school system doesn't have hair length requirements: which would leave me to deal with the VP until we got moved.
