Principal Goes Viral for Fixing a Student's Hair after the Boy Felt Insecure with His Haircut
A middle school principal, Jason Smith of Stonybrook Intermediate and Middle School, goes viral over his act of kindness. Check out how he fixed a student's hair after the boy exhibited insecurity for his looks.
Jason Smith is in the news for a sweet gesture. While speaking to a new source, the principal explained his encounter with an 8th-grade student named Anthony Moore.
The educator queried Moore, who would not take off his hat in school since no student is allowed to accessorize their outfit with a hat. After Moore's explanation, Smith discovered that he was rather insecure.

The student had a haircut before showing up at school but was not confident enough to show it off. This was because he felt other students would taunt him, as the haircut did not look cute.
One would have expected the principal to challenge his student. However, he understood the boy's point of view and came to his rescue with a solution! Smith suggested a haircut.

He revealed that over the years, cutting and trimming hair has been a passionate hobby. From his time as a sports player in college and as a parent, he has been involved in haircuts and styling.
The principal shared images of his son's haircut with the young student and tried to persuade him. Moore felt hesitant, but in the end, he agreed to Smith's suggestions, especially since his parents did not decline.
