16% of boys and 6.4% of girls had had such an experience, and 22.9% male high school students had.

56.3% answered that they had received instructions from a teacher to shorten their hair.

74% of boys had received such an order, and 84% of boys in high school. 89.2% of students who had had their hair cut said that kind of rule is “anti-educational”.

74.1% of the students said that school regulations should be changed because they violate students’ human rights, with hair regulations as the top choice , followed by corporal punishment (32.8%) and school uniforms (29.8%).

Those people shouldn't be regard as teacher. A teacher job is to educate(btw confucius don't teach people to cut off someone hair).
