Discipline Masters should not be allowed to cut students' hair and students should have their own hair style.
Discipline Masters are the ones who try to keep discipline in a school. Throughout the decades, discipline masters have become more strict as more and more students become rebellious and undisciplined. However, recently, i find that discipline masters have been abusing their authority. One of the unacceptable acts is sniping off students' hair without permission. i feel that this cannot be tolerated as many of the students have only slightly longer hair, inappropriate to the school strict standard in attire wise. Slope, not touching of collars and eyebrows and ears, had always been the 'trend' in the eyes of the discipline masters. Students with hair of any longer will be cut or given demerit points. Even so, the discipline masters cut the students' hair in an ugly way, sending a warning to the student to get a haircut, but unknowingly giving the student an unkempted look. These students might be too distracted by the fact that they look even more untidy, and are unable to focus and concentrate on their studies. "Having a short and neat haircut is crucial for a better learning", quoted from typical discipline masters. I disagree with this fact as i feel that having an comfortable haircut for the student is more crucial for learning. However, the students should know the limit and not letting his hair grow to an unacceptable length. Students, for example; Anglican High, should have an understanding of how important studying is, and will not mind too much about his hair as long as it looks presentable and feels comfortable. Besides, with so much rules and standards to keep, it would be even difficult for a student to keep up and focus on his studies.
Nowadays, students are more meticulous about their appearance and with the 'slope' rule, students are bound to be displeased. Hence, discipline masters should spare a thought for the students and should not interfere with the students' hair unless it grows too long. This will not only please the students but also make them focus and achieve greater results and bring glory to the school.
