What do you all think about Schools in Japan and America? Can anyone post their school rules here?

  • I think that in Private schools in America there is a rule about clothing but not hair length...Coloring you hair in private schools is not tolerated but in public schools anything goes...as long as it is not harmful...

  • i spent all my school life in Korea. In the past, Rules of school were very strict. For exapmle, students should have cut their hair once a month and teacher always check students about uniform, bag and so on.
    But now it is changing slowly. Rules become more felixible and some schools established with no uniform and have rules like college.
    In my opinion, i think strict rules of school can control students. so even if these rules are recieved so many complains from students, it is good for students. students can learn what is rules and harmony for school and it can be connected to society.
    what do you think about my opinions?

  • My junior high school has a lot of school rules. Especially it is strict for girls, for example girls can’t use any hair conditioner, so girls can’t arrange their hair style. When I went to school with my hair arranged, my teacher made me shampoo. I couldn’t understand the meaning of school rules and I had one question that “is there any connection between to observe the school rules and to be a good student??” Of course some rules are useful for keeping order, but I think that there are so many trashy rules. One school has a surprising rule about bathroom. “Students can use only 30 cm (about 10 inches) toilet paper a time.” Does it make sense? I think NO!

  • more recently schools have been following a not so strict dress code...For example the kids cannot wear spiked necklaces or anything that could be potentially harmful...

  • I went to a boarding school in America, and we had really strict dress code. We did not have a uniform, but we were expected to dress up formally for school. That meant no jeans, no t-shirts, no flip-flops, no sneakers, no sweats... Boys were supposed to wear trousers with belt and collared button down shirts with ties. For girls it used to be somewhat more lenient... blouse or a nice sweater with skirt (but no denim) or tailored dress slacks without pockets or double seams. There was one short period we were allowed to wear polo shirts, but that did not last long. The school administration somehow found polo shirts...umm...harmful? not serious enough? i don't know. I don't know what the school administration really wanted to acheive by enforcing such strict dress code. Oh, they did say that it would be a good practice for the future, because the dress code reflects the workplaces' expectation about employees' clothing.

    The dress code produced a lot of ridiculous arguments between teachers and students. One of the classic arguments was "no, these are not flip-flops, but dress shoes. you obviously don't understand fashion."
