Schools need reform, not haircutsSchoolboys wear a military-style short hair cut. In Kanchanaburi, a student was punished for sharing a clip of her teacher hacking off another student's hair. And teachers hardly think twice when issuing irrational rules which infringe on students' rights on school compounds. The leader of Bad Student, 15-year-old Benjamaporn Niwad, told the media that the hair issue reflects teachers' "unfair treatment" of students. It's more of unequal power relations in schools, a school norm which condones authoritarianism in society.
