VIDEO: Thai netizens outraged as school makes student cut hair
A student at a school in Kanchanaburi, western Thailand, has uploaded a video to social media sparking a meltdown on Thai social media.
In the video, the student films a school teacher measuring her friend’s hair, while another teacher cuts it to follow the rules which state students cannot grown hair more than 9 inches from the top of the ears. Regardless of the anger voiced by the online community, in the video below we can see that no one else seems disturbed by the hair cut, which could mean they expect to follow the rules.
As the internet was busy slamming the actions of the teachers, news surfaced that the girl filming has had her grades adjusted following her posting the video. The school representatives told media that they were shocked at how the situation had been blown out of proportion. They issued the girl filming the incident a punishment due to the trouble she has caused by using social media to bring disrepute to her school.
The school has been very transparent with the issue, showing records kept of the incident on January 10. The rules are clearly stipulated and all students in the school are aware of the length limits. The girl involved in the incident had been warned several times but had refused to comply with the rules.
The two students will not face expulsion but rather, loose grade points.
