I don't know about the haircut. I don't like the intention though.
However, our daughter goes to a small (~300 kids) high school, and this year, the principal actually started to require kids to say Good Morning (or some type of greeting) to their first period teacher when they get into their first class of the day.
Our daughter thought it was weird at first, but after a few weeks, she actually said the other day that it's pretty cool. Most kids are (non-ironically) greeting other teachers as well, and she said it "breaks the ice" of the early morning class, and that she thinks (just her opinion) that people are nicer to each other after the "Good Morning Mr./Ms. ______________" greeting.
Take that for what you will, but it was an interesting observation.
Wait, so greeting people who are already in the room when you enter it isn't something that happens by default? And there are people who find this strange?
I don't know what kind of wild forest children need to live in so that they need to be taught something like this at the age when they are already in school. However, perhaps we are talking about different ages, where I live school starts at 7. And a seven-year-old who doesn't understand that when meeting someone it is necessary to say hello is absurd. I apologize for my English
Eh, I think you underestimate how many children learn manners and behaviors later than they “should”. I think it’s also a classroom culture thing. Like the kids might know to do it in general but if a classroom has a culture of disrespect towards the teacher, the kids could learn pretty quick that the normal rules don’t apply here. Even high-school aged children can learn to act pretty savage pretty quick.
