School is the place which teaches you the basic things coming ahead in life.

Are they not professional to most Singaporean?
Seriously, I doubt they would be sucessful if they are brought up under sg's education system.
Yeah, majority of Singaporeans have stereotype against long hair. Teachers tend to give excuse that it'll block their eyesight.. etc.. etc. Whereas those excuses are merely excuses to give reasons towards students. There're many existing professionals with long hair. They have the smart looking aura too. I've a senior well-respected lecturer in diploma studies who have long hair too. Hair rules in primary/secondary are just excuses to create "image" and "same as one mentality". That "image" and "same as one mentality" sacrificed students' personality development and potential at young age.
With Singapore's limited structured system, most potential people ended up losing their potentials. Since people were developed to think the same with everyone, they're not able to produce new ideas that're uniquely different from others. Everyone are prone think the same line/flow and produce stuffs that others have thought before. The culprit is: "Same as one mentality" mentioned above.
Personality development is very important. Too important. This is why most countries start them during young age. If people see those top high schools in countries like Korea, Canada and Japan, they would know that even those uniform schools leave hair rules out from their system.
Singapore system is too ignorant towards this. All they care are the facade "image". This is why most parents with genius offsprings rather send the child for oversea studies than local ones.
go school can make more contatcs. next time you be sales person your phonebook list is full already ![]()
