Omg a teacher said that to you? Where I live you could sue him for that. Long hair is cool. I love seeing guys with long hair. Specially with a pony tail. Maybe after school you should move to a more open minded country.
Worst part is it was a female teacher, still relatively young, in her 30's.
Didn't surprise me. She had already said something on the lines of "girls should be more retracted and quiet, while boys should be more brash and loud" in a class.
This law school is heavily associated with right wing thinking.
Even though it's a public institution, the admission is based on grades: everyone that meets the requirements can apply to enter, but after that the places are filled based on grade value. Highest grader's are placed in first and they go down untill they reach the maximum number of available places per year.
It should come as no suprise that rich kids with better education and with better educated families usually fill the lot much more than middle or lower class students.
Most of these rich kids com from conservative families.
The teacher's are recruited from amongst the best students, which generates an endless loop of fascists in the school's more prominent places. For example, the previous Director was the son of an old Minister of Education from the 1960's fascist government we had.
As to me moving to another country, i always pictured myself doing well in a northern european country like the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc.
But the way life is going for me, i reckon i'm not going anywhere anymore.
Even leaving the house is difficult for me sometimes.
Sorry for the long post.
