Cerano 1st Gear November 18, 2012 Share November 18, 2012 IMHO there's nothing wrong with what the teacher said and it was said in a very truthful and tactful manner. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmore Supercharged November 18, 2012 Share November 18, 2012 actually... i dunno why school is so anal with the kind of hairstyle student cuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman81 4th Gear November 18, 2012 Share November 18, 2012 Hur??? Kids are suppose to have proper hairstyle when still schooling, aren't they? Personally looking at this kid, i will associate him with a "bad" label at first glance. He can have his own hairstyle when he is in poly or uni. That's my own view. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerano 1st Gear November 18, 2012 Author Share November 18, 2012 exactly. very funny when u go on stomp and you see the kids denouncing the teacher for embarassing the student in public? if you dont want people to "embarass" you then dont cut this kind of funny pai kia hairstyle.

Gizmore Supercharged November 18, 2012 Share November 18, 2012 Hairstyle is nothing but a way of self expression. So any hair cut that deviates from the normal equates to being a pai kia ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon29 Neutral Newbie November 18, 2012 Share November 18, 2012 If students are so negative and argumentative nowadays. Singapore climate will change when these kids grow up and start work in society. I foresee, the beginning of the end of the golden age of Singapore.

Likewise so can be argued for tattoos in your logic. Do these bring about the imagine of a good, well-behaved studious academically successful and obedient child or do these bring about the idea of a delinquent? i'd find this hard-pressed to be argued on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is a correlation and a very high one at that. Have you ever met anyone with such a hair style and is not deviant from the usual ways? Especially a haircut in the one above? You do agree that is it unacceptable though that much is true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedbs Turbocharged November 18, 2012 Share November 18, 2012 Hairstyle is nothing but a way of self expression. So any hair cut that deviates from the normal equates to being a pai kia ? School is about discipline, and when comes to discipline, there must be a certain strict code in terms of conduct, values and image. Otherwise, how do you maintain certain sense of discipline? Can our NS guys have different hairstyles inside their camp? Military is also an institution of discipline too. I find it strange that I even has to explain this. I thought MCF pple are mostly mature guys...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeniz Turbocharged November 18, 2012 Share November 18, 2012 Nowadays kids cannot take comment ah? so weak. Like that how to fight in the ever-competitive globalized workforce when they grow up? The hairs-style is not "pie kia", the kid is just rebellious. School has a standard code of dressing and this regulation should be respected if he wants to come into the school compound. Simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
