Teacher cuts pupil's hair, mum files police report

This happened a couple of times to my buddies during Junior High in Mexico. Of course, they received warnings to get their haircut by next week, I was also warned a couple of times, too. The ones that didn't, were sent to get their haircut by the school staff. Also, girls (of course, guys too) weren't allowed to wear make-up or have their nails painted.

I'm gonna just chalk this up to cultural differences and not really condemn anyone here.

Agreed. From experience, schools in Mexico are stricter than ones in the US (Texas & Minnesota). I preferred the ones in Mexico, though.
