Why do Teacher's Need to be Barber's These Days and give School Boy haircuts

!n si"ple ter"s it could be because

Parents do not adhere to school rules

and Discipline their #hildren.

Parents shoc$ed that their boy %as

given a drastic haircut by a teacher

&ro" his secondary school. et had

they done their (ob as parents anddisciplined their son by ta$ing hi" to

a Barber Shop at least once every

three or so %ee$s) teachers %ould not

have to act li$e a 'barber'.

*etting your son or daughter a

haircut to adhere to school rules does

not usually cause and scar any boy or

girl psychologically

This is not as hu"iliating as having it

cut by teacher or pre&ect in+&ront o&

class"ates co, our hair %as too long

and in breach o& school regulations.

This %as so terrible that these

students had to rush to a barber the

sa"e day and have it it -ed righta&ter the school day had ended. !n

&act) even i& the boys' or girls' hair

%eren't even touching his or her

eyebro%s/// but not per&ectly neat

and cut to school regulations at all

re2ects badly on the school and or the

school ad"inistrator's ability to

discipline their students

allo%ed.

Girls should have haircut too , to be

fair.

3or girls %ith long hair) their hair "ust

be properly tied up) o&ten into a

ponytail or %orn in a short bob or

cropped cut. So"e schools dictate thecolor and type o& hair accessories that

can be used. So"e prohibit even girls
