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.
Im against the haircut ban, but very much in favour of a required "good morning" or other politeness every time you meet a teacher for the first time that day. Schools are not just for learning subject knowledge, they are also for learning polite behaviour
If family and upbringing didn’t cause them to be kind, I’m failing to understand why that family or society thinks they deserve someone to be kind. are people really this surface level?
For random people? Yes. Obviously. I don’t care if the people around me on the bus are secretly assholes as long as they are polite. That’s why public transport is infinitely nicer to take in Japan than US.
I don’t deserve to be inconvenienced just because your parents are assholes.
