Besides, why do they only allow for one sharpener? Seems like a complete bullshit for the sake of forcing compliance
School often represses creativity in favor of compliance.
Doesn’t have to have a reason. The teacher finds something strange, you are punished. Think of blonde hair in Japanese schools.
In my parents’ times, going to school in jeans was forbidden (in center Europe).
Yup. Because schools primarily serve to create workers. Actual education is merely permitted when it does not interfere with the main aim of creating workers
