Why work against us?

The moment we decided to enforce tighter controls, we were bombarded with incessant calls by irate parents who demand answers why we are 'barbaric' and 'callous'. The issue? Hair.

Granted, a lot of the young ones today question the rationale of them not being able to adopt the lengths and styles they wish.
"What does hair length have got to do with studying?" is the rousing cry of protest.

I will throw this back to you to ponder.
"What does hair length have not got to with with studying?"
It goes back to not being able to see the bigger purpose; the bigger picture. Do you realise you cannot separate the trees from the forest.
What is the whole purpose of education?
Why do you come to school?

As educators, we have to uphold our responsibilities, duties and obligations.
If you think that we merely punish, and are very unreasonable, think again.
If you really cannot agree with us, and continue to undermine us, ... it seems that we are deemed as unsuitable to be the ones to educate your child.

Then please...raise your child.
For sad will be the day should I decide to simply deliver knowledge mechanically in class...and not be a 'teacher'.
