School and Its Weird Rules

A place known for its unnecessary rules is school. People usually go there to study and make friends, as it's an essential hub for learning various subjects crucial for our future. However, in our country, schools impose many regulations, including mandatory uniforms, limitations on hair dye, and restrictions on nail length. Moreover, there are common rules requiring punctuality, politeness, and banning phone usage during school hours.

I find it strange because I believe students can use their phones responsibly. Furthermore, rules regarding appearance, such as dyed hair and long nails, appear to have little impact on academic performance or interpersonal relationships.
