21. Basic school uniforms.

What I would like to see implemented in this country for public school is a system where kids live in a dorm for the school week and go home for one day per week during the school year. All kids would wear uniforms provided and maintained at the school site. No kids coming to class with dirty clothes and poor hygiene. All kids getting good nutritious food during the school week and living in an environment that is optima for good academic performance.

4. Where I live someone would get too close and would try to give me a high five

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_official_headwear

"The headwear of Song dynasty officials consisted of a black hat with two wing-like flaps. The thin flaps are stiff and straight, and could extend up to almost a meter each.

The founder of the Song dynasty, Emperor Taizu of Song, designed this so that during assemblies, his officials would be kept apart by the flaps and would not whisper to each other."

14. Ah, so they all wore them during assemblies. I thought maybe just the emperor did. nt

20. Anyone notice one key element in that picture?

I don't know about the teacher because her head is turned, but everyone in the picture is wearing a facemask. No parents yelling about "freedum" and causing a stink. People are doing what needs to be done to get ahead of covid19. In my non expert view, facemasks seem to be as important as social distancing when workable solutions for burning out covid19 are considered.
