the vice-principal was just yelling at two girls (who were on their knees on the floor of the teachers' office). it was intense.
i asked another teacher why. she said because they got perms.

It's always the dorky looking guys with the bad greasy side parts and thick glasses that determine what is fashionably acceptable. |

Yeah - no perms at my school as well. If you're not sure if it's naturally curly or not (a few Koreans do have naturally curly hair) you can spray water on it and tell by the way it beads.
See all of the useful tips about educating you learn in Korea? |

| They are quite strict on appearance after Elem school. Girls must wear their hair in a ponytail at all times if they want hair longer than shoulderlength. No perms or dyeing. No makeup. It's just a reinforcement of the no individualism thing. |

| Scolding is nothing compared to the beatings which I have seen at my school. Once in a while students are slapped across the face, thrown against cabinets, kneed in the stomach, kicked in the legs, and hit with a 1/2 closed fist on the side of the head. Keep in mind this only happens to boys. I think the worst punishment I've seen for a girl is pulling hair and hitting the arms or back of the legs with rulers or sticks. |

I seem to recall a Korean court decision in the last 2 years declaring that public schools cannot enforce hair appearance policies.
Of course, that's meaningless in Korea. The schools will continue to do things "the way we've always done things." |

| Yep they did. The also decided on traffic rules and prostitution was illegal. That went nowhere quick. Why would the law care about someone's hair. |

Oddly enough, the law is supposedly based on their constitution. Said document guarntees a number of human rights, to include freedom of expression. |

| Actually, atomic, I'm referring to (supposedly) Korean values and (supposed) laws. |

Same thing regularly happens in American schools, except the teacher's aren't involved. |

And abortion is illegal, too.

What??? Permed hair is drier but perms aren't the only things that will dry your hair out. For example, curly hair is usually drier than straight.  |

That's because Americans like a challenge. As an adult, beating up children is boring. They generally can't defend themselves. But as a child, trying to beat up other children is fun. |
