Mr. Smith thought the student looked fine but understood that the student's lack of confidence so he thoughts of a great way to make him feel slightly better. He decided to fix his student's hair cut.
"I've been cutting hair most of my life," Smith said. "I played college basketball and I cut my teammates' hair before games, and I've been cutting my son's hair for 17 years. So I had professional clippers and edgers at home, so I said, 'If I go home and get my clippers and line you up, will you go back to class,' and he said, 'Yeah, I will.'"
