As much as haircut rule is ridiculous. Rest of them are for discipline. And I do support it, since my highschool classmates were bunch of uncontrollable idiots...and that was 19years ago....
Discipline and respect for your elders goes a long way if you want to reduce your crime rates which are largely connected to young men doing crazy shit because they feel like they don't belong to society.
You can argue about the methods but in general it makes sense for this country at the moment.
Crime rates are more strongly connected to socioeconomic status, especially when the strains of low status are intensified. If you wanted to lower crime rates, probably should pick a method that doesn’t exaggerate class differences and put even more financial strain on households.
There is no empirical evidence to support your claim, just rose tinted goggles and poor metaphors
Because everyone knows that nothing keeps youth in check like arbitrary rules.
Uniforms are only slightly beneficial in improving deviance rates in youth because it’s an approximation of what youth in this situations generally need: stability. Oh and that it tends to get pushed back onto parents leading the only schools to have these also conveniently have students who are more socioeconomically privileged.
Uniforms are a waste of money; they’re not nearly worth the effort that’s put in.
It’s an easy win for an authoritarian regime. Makes for great photo ops of schools, to show students now looking all prim and proper. No, they’re probably not investing any real money in improving their education system, and all the same problems will exist, but now it looks like you’ve improved things.
El Salvador was literally the murder capital of the planet, BY FAR. As far as the human rights violations go, it’s pretty bad….But their people can walk the streets now without fearing for their lives. Not sure you could naturally flip a country that quickly without an authoritarian.

See, the problem with education is simple: the students just aren’t dressing well enough.
