"Principal - "Gone in the Hair"

Today's news headline carried a news item - Prinicpal of a school has been fired for having cut the fringe of a girl in school. Its all good
what about the fact that the fringe was too long in the first place.
No one reaches the level of a Principal of a school without having adequate academic experience apart from peoples skills.
There is no justification for cutting the hair and now the child is undergoing trauma for life!! Its not good at all.
There is no mention of how many warnings the Prinicipal or before that the teachers gave the child or why the parents were not warned or why the parents themselves did not take any action.(fringe falling on the forehead obstructs and spoils the eye sight)
One might think that we are old school of thought!
So what we wore two plaits to school till grade 12th. yes we made fun of teachers just as kids do but those were not insults which we could think of hurling at them or in front of them. Principal of school was very revered.
My parents are teachers as is my sister and it must have been in the genes because now,I am one too.
Respect has to be inculcated :Guru devo bhava( Teacher is God)
Mata, Pita , Guru, Daivam.(Mother tells the child who the father is,the father takes the child to the teacher and the teacher shows the path to God)
Even now I call my kids teachers Mam though many of them are much younger than me.
As such the teaching profession particularly is not very well paid, and day by day the parents create more hassles for teachers than what the teachers are ready to take so now we have additional reasons to discourage our next generation from taking up another noble profession.
All these years of nobility and teaching for what"gone in the hair".
