One teacher accused of cutting hair of at least 100 students after relaxing of regulations last month
have called for clearer guidance and enforcement to stop the use of humiliating punishment haircuts in schools, after a teacher was accused of cutting the hair of at least 100 students as they sat in rows on the floor.
Last week, his group was contacted by students at a school in Phetchabun province, in north-central Thailand, who shared footage that appeared to show a teacher cutting students’ hair as they sat in lines beside the school flagpole, apparently because they had violated haircut rules. Images said to have been taken after the incident, showing large tufts of hair spread across the concrete, were shared widely on social media.
Bad Students receives complaints relating to three or four schools a week where teachers have cut students’ hair, according to Laponpat. Reports peak at the beginning of the month and the start of semesters, when teachers usually carry out inspections. “[We need to] eliminate any rules on hairstyles once and for all,” said Laponpat, who added that hair did not have any impact on learning. “It’s [about] the meaning of being a human – that we have full rights over our own body and this is just a starting conversation for everything else, like freedom of speech, human rights and so on,” he said.
