Teacher apologises over 'ugly' haircutA teacher who forcibly gave a high school student an ugly haircut for a perceived infraction in Si Sa Ket has apologised after being reprimanded, according to the local education office. Chuchart Kaewnok, director of Secondary Educational Service Area Office 28, did not disclose the teacher's name but he said the incident took place at Yang Chum Noi Phitthayakhom School in Yang Chum Noi district on July 3. She said the teacher deemed the student's hair was too long and cut off one side, leaving an "ugly" haircut as punishment. He said the teacher had overstepped his authority, noting he has since accepted responsibility and apologised to the student and her mother. The teacher has been reprimanded and told not to repeat the act, Mr Chuchart said, adding teachers should be tactful and gentle in handling such issues.
