REGARDING your story (LET, May 2) about a 15-year-old girl being banned from school for wearing a nose stud, to me, it is unbelievable that a mother thinks a stud in her daughter's nose is more important than her education.

We all have to abide by rules and regulations in our lives at one time or another, so we should be brought up to respect them from a very early age.

Life would be hopeless without them.
