Hm? Then what's the condition for forgetfulness, if there's one?
Rules are rules. If people condemn it, then there should be avenues to review the rule. But definitely in almost all schools (at least up till secondary school) in Asia, you are expected to be properly attired and have a presentable image. I believe the usual argument for it is the "students are a walking/living image of the school" as well as a uniformity in all students.
In truth, an untucked shirt or uncut hair is not necessarily inconsequential. Yes you won't do better or worse with a shirt tucked in or untucked, but the image and signals sent from these little things are felt outside. I remember alumni and parents calling my school principal (he told us during school assembly) that students in my school were seen to be dressed sloppily and thus complained that it sent a very bad image. The image you send to teachers affect how they perceive of you and thus affect how they treat you . Try this at a professional workplace and you probably know what I'm getting at.
