Why would the school fix your daughter's hair?  I don't think I've ever had a teacher fix DD's hair.  Maybe they are too busy teaching the children to notice that your daughter's hair is messy?

Sorry but its not schools/teachers job to fix yourr childs hair and make sure she looks perfect at pick-up time.  Yes, the daycare teachers used to do my kids hair sometimes but I never expected it.  Heck - I have always believed that if my kids
