In Japan and basically everywhere else, people are absolutely fine to get involved in other people’s business when it is convenient to them, even and especially if it’s about absolute private things that are no problem and none of their business (like appearance, like hobbies, like sexuality...). But when their help, their solidarity, is needed in an inconvenient situation, they back off, considering it more inconvenient to themselves than to yourself and telling you to keep your problems to yourself because they have to mind their own business.

So unless you're willing to search them up and do a background check it is easier to kick them out or ignore it. At a certain point people just get tired of checking... which would be easily resolved by giving the student or person in question an ID which proves they are fine and saves everyone time.

In my country, schools have pretty strict restriction about hair color and length for boys. Girls need to tie their hair up, though the rule will be kind of loose when the student is about to graduate. About the uniform, it's usually about the length and tightness. Most allowed jackets and sweaters, but to wear it in class sometimes is frowned upon depends on the teacher. Only very light makeup is allowed and no piercing except girl's ear piercing. Some private school might have looser rule regarding boy's hair length, but the others are pretty much the same. There are 'delinquets' school where the rule exist but they aren't really implemented. The reason for such rule here is so student's focuses more on study rather than beauty and other non related activities. Although, whether it really helps in study is up to debate. It does level up the field so the rich and poor doesn't looks much different. School doesn't really care about what the student does outside the school time, unless the student does it near the school. If the teacher met the student outside the school, well, some teacher might go to teacher mode if said student does something not allowed, but they aren't as strict as how pika story is.

I think this might be explained by the blond hair. Blond hair is recessive, so chances are that her mom had at least one ancestor further up the tree that was also blond (ie, not japanese). Thus, pika is more than just 50% not japanese, and might accordingly have less japanese characteristics.
