it is understood that this new rule comes from hongwen middle school in handan city, hebei province. many teachers said that this is true and the new rule was announced at the mid-autumn festival gala on the evening of the 17th. the reporter sorted through the school's past videos and found that most girls had standard short sports hair. the congtai district education department said that there are no official rigid requirements for high school students' hairstyles, and the school is responsible for its own management.

the hair of students is a big concern for schools. many schools, especially high schools, require all female students to cut their hair short for the sake of management convenience, under the pretext of "for your own good". there are three reasons for this: first, it can save students time in taking care of their hair, freeing up more time for study; second, it can reduce the phenomenon of comparison among classmates, so that they don't have to focus on dressing up; third, it is said that it can also reduce the number of male and female students falling in love.

ultimately, it is to let students focus on their studies. when students get good grades, the school will also be praised. every year when high school starts, barbershops start to get busy, and teachers stand guard at the school gate to check whether students' hairstyles are in compliance with regulations.

the "code of conduct for middle school students" stipulates that students should dress neatly, simply and elegantly, not perm or dye their hair, not wear makeup or jewelry, and that boys should not have long hair and girls should not wear high heels. everyone loves beauty, and under the general principles, students should have the right to decide what hairstyle to have. whether to have long or short hair should vary from person to person.

similarly, under the general principle, schools can promote short hair, but it is not appropriate to force it. in order to reasonably guide students' normal needs, more reference hairstyles can be provided for students to choose.

allowing students to grow their hair in high ponytails means that they can grow their hair long. this seems to be a progress, but it really shouldn't be news. judging from the cheers of many girls in the audience, they seem to have been suppressed for too long.

schools should be more tolerant of female students' hair management and face up to their normal needs. some bad aesthetic behaviors can be guided reasonably. although grades are important, is it really effective to require students to cut their hair short to "not waste" time and to "fight" fatigue? this is questionable.

after all, learning requires time and efficiency. people have a limited attention span, so it is a good idea to give students a few moments to give their brains a full rest. fixing their hair should be a way to relax. let them find confidence in it, which is also beneficial to their mental health.

schools should be less strict and less self-satisfied. students pay attention to their appearance, which means they are growing up and need more care and love. it is good for students to dress properly, clean and tidy, and give people a vibrant feeling.

in recent years, the "low ponytail, catfish whisker" hairstyle that has become popular among some middle school girls has caused tension in some families. in this regard, parents should also look at it rationally, maintain a respectful and open attitude, give them room to make reasonable choices, and not preach blindly or even force them to change their hairstyle.

in short, as long as female students are positive, confident and healthy, there is nothing to criticize about their hairstyle. schools and parents should let go at the right time. for children's growth, grades are not the only goal. students' hairstyle aesthetics is a legitimate need. giving them autonomy will not bring about the downfall.
