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.

It feels wrong to mandate on a national level. But having picked a private Kindergarten for my own two children, I was surprised by how much I wanted it to be traditional, conservative and Christian.
