Concerned Netizen Expresses Opinion on Students Protesting Vs School Regulations
A concerned netizen has expressed his opinion on students who were protesting against school regulations and policies.
Recently, Enrico V. Libunao, a Facebook user, shared his thoughts on the resistance and protests among some students regarding school regulations and policies. The post garnered various reactions from the online community.
Libuano shows the growing discontent among students, particularly regarding the required haircut policy enforced by many schools. He pointed out the importance of adhering to rules and regulations, drawing parallels between school life and the professional world.
According to him, while students may criticize following school regulations such as maintaining a proper haircut, the real world demands even stricter adherence to policies, and failure to comply can have serious consequences.
The concerned netizen pointed out that in the workplace, disobedience could result in deductions from salary, suspension, or even termination. He explained the notion that personal preferences often take a backseat to organizational rules, and individuals must adapt accordingly.
He went on to explain, focusing on the difference between the seriousness of sanctions in professional settings and the looseness of school policies.

Enrico argued that the sheltered environment of schools does not adequately prepare students for the challenges and competitiveness of the real world.
Libunao did not specifically identify the students he was referring to, but his remarks coincided with recent protests by transgender students at the Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST) regarding the school’s haircut requirement for male students.
In another post, the latter reflected on how what was once considered a trivial matter, such as having long hair among male students, has now become framed as a mental health issue.
Here is the full post:
“Kung iniiyakan ninyo ang pagsunod sa school regulations gaya ng tamang gupit, I can’t wait to see how devastated you will be once you enter the real world and realize na HINDI kayo ang masusunod.
Pagsusuutin pa rin kayo ng ID. Papapasukin on time. Pagdadamitin ng maayos. At sasabihang magpagupit ng tama alinsunod sa mga patakaran ng kumpanya. Sounds familiar ba? Surprise!
Facts don’t care about your Feelings.”
