Has/did your school ever pull a dick move?

A year after I went up to secondary school they changed the uniform, meaning everyone had to buy the new one after already having bought the first one.
Later on they decided that the food being served was too unhealthy overall and made considerably less of the things that actually tasted good. That's when everyone started going to the shop down the road. Then they built a fence around the perimeter of the school field and one further in around the buildings that were locked during school hours, meaning it took some determination to get a decent non-salad lunch.
Needless to say, holes were dug and some rivets went missing. As long as you knew someone who was in some roundabout way involved in it you'd know where the loose bars were and the staff never found out.

first off that's a ball hitting your fingers, not a human being, and i've played volleyball quite a bit with people of all sizes and skills, hell i got my nose broke from a volleyball spike to the face, but in no way shape or form would i say it's worse than getting a pummeled hit in football. (and this is coming from someone who is normally a little guy, so in volleyball i got hammered on all the fucking time)Blablahb said:
one of the fastest recorded hits from a volleyball strike was 88 mph, and that's not even average that was from a ridiculously powerful in shape man hitting it. so lets take that roughly 1-2 lb ball, and hit it at that speed, while taking a 200 lb man, and have him hit you going 10 mph while you are running towards him going roughly 13 mph (like that clip i showed, and that guy was probably more than 200, as most linebackers/defensive players are in the 210-250 range)
now i'm not going to sit here and work it out, but the energy/force from the football hit is much greater than the volleyball hit. I don't care to show any work for it nor do i care to sit here and argue it, it just seems like you are being ignorant of football like it's some sissy sport.
Note: I like volleyball alot and play it roughly once a month on average, nor is it a sissy sport by any means.
Nah we didn't. I never really thought about the legalities of it all just how annoying it was that they wanted control of my own personal computer. Maybe I should get the students that are still there to report them or something. Anyway, their problem now, not mine.kebab4you said:
New Hampshire law now restricts us to only have things that are "low in sugar".
No clarification on how "low" is "low". Just make sure it's low on sugar, or else!
(I've been selling fucking Snapple for four days out of my bag and I'm making a killing, how sad is that?)
It's perfect!

It's because it doesn't roll off the tongue well enough. You need Darth Vader Academy.kannibus said:

Is it a dick move to confiscate a 10 year old boy pc magazine with pictures of topless women? because that's the only thing I think of, my last year of high school was hectic and I was about to repeat it again if some teacher gave away the answers for some tests for me, so it quite the contrary.
I do recall that when I was in college, I was banned from entering classes because I had long hair. I could've easily cutted but I my theater director especifically told me not to since my character needed to have long hair. So I was banned from entering, yet some guys with longer hair than mine could enter the class, strange...

My high school had one lunch hour (it was really 45 mins- but who's counting?) and it was always super packed. Granted you could go off campus and get food, but the places around the school were packed at lunch, and you had to have a car to get food somewhere else, and that was the fastest. So, they did have food stands to get food from, and there was only three of them outside and they had long lines. So instead of adding another one so everyone could get food and not eat in a hurry, the school took one away and gave the football team new uniforms.
One year a new high school was created and me and 20 other students in my neighborhood were grandfathered over to stay at our current school and they said they'd keep the buses coming and getting us. LIES!! A week before school started they sent out a letter saying they were canceling our bus route and stated no reason for that. So all of us had to either walk, get a job to get a car, or bike it to school, and all of us relied on the bus. Granted we were about 4 miles away, but that was not a fun year, and a lot of the time I walked to school since I couldn't get a job, and didn't own a bike since my last one got stolen. The only good thing that came out was I got to know someone else on my route really well when we were walking to school.
I got into a fight with this one chick that was giving me a hard time for about a month and we ended up fighting (she started it and not me) and I ended up getting ISS for defending myself while the chick got a slap on the wrist. The teacher that caught us claimed that I started it since she 'would never do anything like this and was well liked', or something like that, and so I was suspended for a three days for....something.
Another time in junior high I was suspended from the bus for a week for something I didn't do, something was going on in the back of the bus and I was in the front reading and listening to music. Next thing I know I'm called to the Assistant Principals office and was told I was getting suspended, and any attempts to defend myself was met with 'that's not what other students have said'- the ones that were doing it. After a few days, I get called back in for a 'counseling session' and my dad gets called in. I sit outside the office while my dad is yelling at her, most terrifying 5 mins of my life, and all I got was a 'well we don't know how to contact the bus driver so you're just gonna have to find a way to get home for the rest of the week'. No apology, no calling the kids that got me into trouble in, nothing. I was one pissed off 8th grader.

I was pulled from school and put on medical absence.
They didnt change it in the system so I got charged with truancy...
I still had to go to court and pay for the court costs even though it wasnt my fault.
Not to mention the court nearly called Child Services because they though my parents were bad.
THANK GOD we had the paperwork from the school about my medical leave.
After that I dropped out and got my Diploma elsewhere. I was not dealing with that shit school system again.

Same thing happened to me in middle school. Some dick was teasing me about my weight (I was a fatty!) and then punched me in the eye. I got suspended for it, he got one day of in school suspension. That was nice, wasn't it?Richardplex said:
More recently (and this is talking 4-5 years ago), during my senior year, they decided that they would switch to a rotating schedule. On A days, you took one set of classes, and on B days, you took another set. However, they royally fucked it up, and instead of trying to fix each students schedule so that they took the classes they needed in order to graduate, they just loaded everybody up with gym glasses. That is how I ended up with 8 gym classes my senior year. Needless to say, I fucked around in mos tof them
9one I actually did need). It destroyed my grade point average, and I couldn't take most of the classes I wanted. I passed, but I had to take extra math in college because of it.
My school has had to laid off many teachers and lunchroom workers, yet somehow was able to afford to put astroturf on the football field (as did a school in a neighboring city).
Am I the only one who noticed a lot more media attention is paid when they cut sports programs than anything else?

i call bull on that dude, i played football for a couple years at the middle school level and even in full pads impacts WERE NOT FUN. they hurt. sorry but running into somebody who is also trying to hit you as hard as they can is going to hurt, it's just not BONE BREAKINGBlablahb said:
Oh wow man, that's pretty hardcore. That reminds me, of, this one time . . . when my school kicked me out because I ate a wafer at my seat instead of in front of the priest, after I invested $15,000 of money into my education there, as well as nearly two years of my life.Jakub324 said:
Sorry, didn't mean to be mean . . that was more me giving my text impression of Cartman from Southpark during Cartoon Wars pt 2. I'm quite sure schools have done worse than what happened to me, to other people.
My High School had the balls to make us pay for our own lunches just so they could make up for the base cost of the food and pay the lunch ladies. Not only that but they forced us to take state mandated standardized tests, and encouraged us to take the SATs, I mean how dare they take an interest in my future? HOW DARE THEY!? /sarcasm
In all seriousness for our senior song (The song we are all supposed to sing after we all got our diplomas but before every left) was voted on when they called the entire senior class into an assembly. The choices were crappy so me and some friends decided to start a write in campaign (the school encouraged write ins and there was a space on the ballot for it.) We managed to get an over whelming majority to write in Friends of Mine by Bowling for Soup, we even manged to find a version of the lyrics that edited out the alcohol references. It was announced as the winner. We get to our marching practice and find out the school had a re-vote, failed to announce it to the senior class, with the exception of a certain few students, and we ended up with Forever Young by Rod Stewart. We were not pleased.

Jumping on the banning the word Meep bandwagon(aka the Muppets Beaker way of talking) cause they view it as disrespectful.
Interesting, the one state without a seat-belt law, or a helmet law (unless something has been passed recently) has a low sugar law?dancinginfernal said:

my argument to my old head of 6th he was arguing that a uniform would change the behaviour of the study room, nope, some air conditioning in there might though, that room was far too hot, and on the free time note i used to just get a freind to clock me in etc,no system is perfect, all of them can be exploitedSirBryghtside said:
