On Monday we worked on new case studies. My group decided to work on case study five. This was about a boy who has long hair and is on the baseball team. The coach is telling the student to cut his hair but not giving him a good reason as to why he has to do it. We are to come up with a solution to the problem.
We decided that we would explain to the student that we want everyone on the team to look the same. We want everyone to have their hair short so you look more uniform. When one team member is different it can be distracting to the whole team.
We also decided that after telling this to the students we would look at the code of conduct. We may put something in there.
Our main decision was the that the student should cut their hair. They are part of a team and they should look like a team.
We will be doing a skit on Friday of this case study. We will first present the skit as if we had not had Paideia and then present is again. The second time we will present using our new knowledge from Paideia II.

I think that we came up with a very valid reason for wanting the baseball player to cut his hair. Having a uniform look is an important aspect of being a team, be it having the same shoes or having a short hair cut.
I am looking for the normative claims, the values, that are the basis for your decision. Why is it important to have short hair? Should girls have short hair, too, if they are part of a girl's team? How does it contribute to the good of the team?
