Dancehall artiste QQ was turned out of several of his classes on his first day back in school for wearing his pants too tight.
The young dancehall artiste, real name Kareem Dawkins, who attends Calabar High School, was taken out of four classes on Monday. In addition, he had other run-ins with personnel from the school for other issues
When contacted, QQ's father and manager Joseph 'GQ' Dawkins, told THE WEEKEND STAR: "He (QQ) was present at school, but each class him go, he was taken out. They say his pants is too tight. It must be roomy. We got the school rules but it neva seh what size pants he should wear."
He said he bought a size-15 pants for his 15-year-old son and on the second day, he wore a size-16 pants. However, GQ said he was told that size 16 is still too small.
But there were some other problems with the youngster in his first week back in school. He also had run-ins with a few supervisors because he was not wearing his epaulettes on the first day. However, GQ said the epaulettes were bought that same morning but were not yet placed on his uniform.
should not return
And in addition, QQ was told yesterday that he should not return to school unless he was wearing a different pair of shoes.
"They say he is not supposed to return to school until he changes his shoes. The shoes are full black but the label is silver. They say he is not supposed to wear those shoes to school," GQ said.
However, GQ says he believes they are following the rules of the school, but if there are still problems, he is willing to comply with whatever the school says.
"He's ready and focused for school but I don't know if at school they don't expect him to make mistakes. He's determined and he's willing to settle with what they have to say. When I go with him tomorrow (today), if they say he has to wear a size 18, I think he will wear it, although he doesn't like baggy clothes - he finds it uncomfortable," GQ told THE WEEKEND STAR.
When contacted, a representative from Calabar High School said they were unable to comment on the matter at the time.
While the fad of wearing tight pants may not be new, it is something that school principals have been clamping down on, especially since the start of the new school year.
In an article published in Tuesday's Gleaner titled 'Smooth start, few obstacles', it read: "As the new school year got under way (this week), institutions in eastern Kingston had a smooth start, with just a few challenges faced by some principals.
At Dunoon Park Technical High School, several students congregated at the gate long after the start of school. They were the students who had paid little or no attention to the school rules. The boys were dressed in pants too tight and the girls showed up in short skirts and wearing false hair."
