Prioritizing people with higher social class I just feel sad knowing that there are a lot of people who doesn’t receive the same benefits as people with high social class just because they’re lower than them when in fact, they are the ones who needs help the most. Not allowing students to dye their hair In my opinion, dyeing our hair is a form of self-expression and I don’t get why it is restricted in school when it doesn’t even affect our academic performance.
