Yeah, WTF?
Ma teenage – AL student – Mt. St Thomas College boys - cool - shaved head – well, latest hair-do’s too 'un-cool' for the school authorities... hence, they have ordered the boy to stay away from school until the crop grows to an acceptable length – the length that will be decided by no scientific method but according to the whims and fancy of the prefects – who are nothing but school boys given the licence to intimidate in the name of ‘discipline’ – what’s with one’s personal hair-style that rattles school authorities – which I have ignored during my school years even while the threat of expulsion was thrown at me many a times – but that was a government gulag compared to these private ‘concentration camps’ where some old-religiously-twisted-maniac(s) will decide what is good for us and what is not... damn.. This pisses me off so much – why can’t the bloody grownups leave the youth to express themselves, to identify themselves with current trends and fads, be creative...?
What The Fuck is wrong with being creative? Isn‘t that how the world is changed for the better and isn’t it how smart-special people standout from the rest...?
There’s hardly any difference in this bloody ‘conformist doctrine’s and the old fascist regimes where the ‘the party’ decided everything about peoples’ lives and how they lived it – what they wore, what they ate, what they did, what they didn’t do, what they listened to, and the list goes on... and in this new century, STC (and other neo-cons like them) should open their eyes and get realistic and down their thorny tools for the sake of future – for the youth – the future of our world without mental torture that drive them to suicide and self-destruction because of a simple image content stored in a mobile phone or because of a hair-cut...
Open your eyes you Mo-Fos!
Leave those kids alone...!

Trust me, at schools like STC certain standards are maintained, and if the boy does not wish to conform he can very well leave and join another school which will allow him to grow his hair as he wishes...
It's strictly the school's right to enforce standards regarding dress and personal grooming...
Yep, it's perfectly OK to bugger small boys on the school premises as long as your hair's the right length.
ugh. can't belive i was part of that sad prefect system.
'Expressing your self' can be a tricky term.
Is it universally acceptable to 'Express your self' in anyway or rather restricted in contextually as in this circumstance?
To function as a successful group our society primarily depend on young being guided by adults until they become adults themselves. If we prefer this fundamental system, adults will have the god given right to curtail and control the expression of the youth. This restriction should be done for the betterment of the youth and ultimately the society.
Authorities of the STC are right in this case in my opinion.
Youth should be taught to express themselves by adults (who are capable of doing it themselves, please!) if we wanted move away from this anarchy.
We knew the reasons to maintain a policy of having a uniform at DS, because
Mr Alles who guided us knew them and bothered enough to explain it to us.
So when it comes to me and my school, appearance is not acceptable way of 'Expressing your self'.
Where my school failed to teach me properly to 'Express myself' or taught as I would not agree with the standards now, can be identified in the subjects of Art, Music, Dancing (well in Dancing, I do not want to try my luck, improving my skills of expression in this field with the most repudiated pedophilic teacher in Colombo), Drama, Literature and to some extent in classes of Science, Social Studies, Languages……ect.
Thinking about Drivers behind the wheels 'Express themselves' daily in our roads, I think the society has a responsibility to teach themselves acceptable ways of 'Expressing ourselves'.
Do we want our schools to be like our roads!
Authorities of the STC are right in this case; (expressing myself, again!).
