Absolutely, these archaic rules are more fitting for North Korea.

Maybe better said for communist style countries.

So will the schools have the lady boys, potential and otherwise,  having longer hair and the Toms with short back and sides.

It’s about time. One step at a time I guess. All they need to do now is fix the curriculum and hire all new teachers actually educate the kids. 

All good but Thailand needs to watch what is taught and ffs keep ridiculous ideology flags out of the classrooms.

Head lice problems won't get any better so I would like to see problem addressed.

"A sentiment shared on Facebook by the Office of the Administrative Court underlined a broader criticism, stating, "Thai education is overly focused on uniforms rather than on giving students skills for use in the future and preparing them for the demands of the global economy.""

 

Sorry folks, that is exactly what the powers-that-be do not want to give or prepare.

What?  Next they'll be allowing children to learn how to think for themselves and form their own opinions and beliefs!!!!

 

 

I agree with teaching them how to think for themselves, but make sure they know the facts first.

Opinions are not facts, nor are beliefs. 

Teach people facts.  

But it's not just in Thailand that people can't think for themselves.  

How many times has a stupid 'security' guard said you can't sit somewhere or can't take a photo in a public place?   I can't stand people who are too stupid to use their own initiative to judge a situation and make a decision, instead they stick rigidly to the rules as if their life depended on it.  

An intelligent person analyses the situation and even if they've not been given the authority to make a decision, they do anyway to show they can use their own initiative. 

I worked in an office and the Thai staff were utterly incapable of making a decision on their own.  They wouldn't question the boss at all and wouldn't dare suggest he was wrong.

Utterly moronic. 

I used to have screaming fights with the boss when he wanted me to do something and I knew he was being an idiot.

Next they should bring the girls’ uniforms into the 21st century.
