So what did the Teacher in Houston Texas do? Rip out your tongue? Oops too harsh. Did she..force you to get out of the classroom until you could say it right? Did she tell you that if you didn't say it right you would never get past third grade, and couldn't take any third grade tests? I'm guessing. No.
It's more like a ritual of sorts, something that you do everyday when you're young to get... erm... "something inside you" over time. Not something that is on the rulebook.

Children are forced to follow rules. When you grow up and get out of school you can get any kind of haircut you want.
Actually, if you eat candy before dinner, you'll have reduced appetite and will thus eat less for dinner. Not good for a growing kid.
I have long hair now XD but it gets cut because my parents don't like it =.=
