Such rules are unnecessary and discriminatory, according to Xiong Bingqi, deputy dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute. Any school rule should comply with the education law and safeguard students’ rights, including the right to interact with others, he said, adding that students should be guided, not put under restrictive rules.
21世纪教育研究所副院长熊炳琪说，这样的规则是不必要的而且具有歧视性的。 任何学校的规则都应遵守教育法并且保障学生的权利，这些权利包括与他人接触的权利。他补充说，学生应该受到指导，不要处于限制性规则之下。
In the case of behaviors deemed inappropriate, the students involved should be educated, he said.

If rules are thought to be necessary to deal with certain special circumstances, they should be discussed by parents for broader understanding and input, he said.
他说，如果在处理某些特定的情况下这些规则被视作必要的，它们应该由家长讨论以获得更加广泛的理解和投入。
