GinBoy2 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Wasn't this always the case in Bangkok? My son would always complain bitterly every time we were there that he'd see girls and boys on BTS with 'regular' hair, yet he was forced to have some Belsen Bergen haircut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutz Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Is basically seems to be an other reaffirmation that longer hair is allowed. The military haircut was introduced under dictator Thanom Kittikachorn in 1972. They relaxed the rules in 1975, a minister reaffirmed the relaxed rules in 2013 and now they do that again. Yet, many schools stick to the rules from 1972. So.. what change is to be expected? Will the students find this enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Personally, I prefer girls with short hair, because the long hair gets in my mouth and eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel and unnecessary. Oh! The humanity! Cruel. Drama queen much? Because women never wear pants? Do dykes wear pants and shirts? They are women. I'm so confused. What should they be wearing leopard miniskirt, pokadot blouse and 6" red heels? Edited May 2, 2020 by Number 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uniforms are ok by me, helps me to remember what day of the week it is. Saves a lot of money in the long run aswell. As for the hair length, for kids here the shorter the better.

Yes thank god, the horror of that tradition was unfathomable. Now let's all demand never ending gender debates, allocation of colonization and multiple "ism's" and how to be a victim studies. But until we can get soft core porn on the free to air tv here in Thailand I fear we will remain in the 1800's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools can of course stipulate their own rules which many schools did, going against the advice of the Education Ministry. Edit: This was announced by the Minister for Education on 10th January 2013 and has never been changed since!! agree, i have thai friends whose sons and daughters go to schools that dont require them to have short hair, merely that it's neat and for girls plated or tied with a ribbon... a friend told me that five years ago when she was at a top five female bkk school the students voted to have long hair, it lasted one academic year then the principal vetoed the decision and it was back to short hair. clearly schools are currently able to decide on the hair style of their students, the article is either misleading or factually wrong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless by some miracle dinosaur directors of public schools finally get the message after this third reminder that military style hair isn't mandatory by law.

You see there's the issue, there are more "genders" than uniforms... so the schools say's dress as per your ID card or putting it plainly "the sex you were born" is how you will dress in school" ! After school or later in adult life you can do as you wish but for the X-number of years and limited hours in the classroom you will dress as above. 8-hours a day isn't going to ruin your life !

spidermike007 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Extreme conformity is never a good thing for any society. Just look at the Saudis. The entire nation looks like one big cartoon. It stifles creativity, and individual expression. The schools here are subpar to begin with. Leave the kids alone, and focus your energy on ways to give them a better education.
