There is a lot of discussion about whether girls should be allowed to wear make up to school and if boys should be allowed to over indulge in hair products.

For this week’s Blog Homework, I would like you to look at both sides of the argument.  I would like you to give at least ONE reason as to why girls should be allowed to wear make up and ONE reason as to why boys should be allowed to have their hair in any style they wish in school. I would like you to give at least ONE reason as to why girls should not be allowed to wear make up and ONE reason as to why boys should not be allowed to have their hair in any style they wish. 

Think carefully about your argument as you will be asked to support your viewpoint in class.
