The brand that buy Denim fabrics should stop sourcing from Pakistan. Better not produce and sell to world if your own population is barred from having a choice on clothing.

They won't teach properly but do good job at moral policing. That's the reason why our country lags in education in the world.

We should be able to differentiate between discipline/ dress codes and moral policing. In my view it's not moral policing. It should be taken as dress code of an institution. Kids, youngsters may wear whatever they like in their homes, in markets and in their own time but not in university. We may teach young generations aboutes rules, codes , ethics and how to implement those on ourselves

While dress codes should preserve the sanctity of educational institutions and a complete laissez faire would be less than ideal , any draconian coiffure rules are regressive. They are young, let them enjoy the freedom of casual dressing and cool hairdos. Come on puritans, strike a balance already.

Most suitable and functional dress for an agriculture class and field work is pant and T shirt. It is cheapest and most economical to maintain. Principal saheb instead of encouraging is discouraging it.
