Has/did your school ever pull a dick move?

[Kinkaido]

Let's see...

They call not one but two christian preachers to every holiday assembly. (I go to a public school in Ohio so this is highly illegal.)

Those same assemblies used to be mandatory. Thankfully you can now choose to avoid them.

You are no longer allowed to leave school at lunch to go to a restaurant.

Almost all touching is labeled as PDA and is banned. You are technically allowed to hold hands with your girl/boyfriend but the Principal doesn't want to see it.

2 seconds late to class and I actually saw you rushing towards the door when the bell rang? Too bad! Tardy!

The 5th and 6th grade playground. It consists of 2 basketball courts, 2 tether ball poles (minus both tether and ball), and 8 four-square squares. And most of the time they wouldn't let us bring balls on the playground.
EDIT: And the only source of shade or protection from the wind was a trash can. They took that away my 6th grade year.

If the class talked too much or leaned on the wall on the way to gym the teacher would take us to the gym, make us sit down on the floor spread out from each other, and do nothing for recess.

They once threatened to stop letting kids drive to school because they were driving on the grass to avoid speed bumps at the back of the school.

The practice area for the maneuvering portion of the driving test is set up on gravel and nobody makes sure it's even set up correctly. This means that if you want to pass the test, you have to drive half an hour to get to a town where it is set up right.

EDIT 2: You guys think having a 40 break is bad? We have a 30 minute lunch. And we only have 3 minutes to get from class to class. Need to get something from your locker? Well, I hope your next class is right next door and close to your locker or else you're screwed!

well my school once locked the door to the mot heavily used bathrooms and placed a sing in sheet and a teacher to "guard" the door. all in an effort to curb pot smoking in the bathrooms.

they also locked down where we could hang out during lunch, before we could roam the floors and this general was nice, we could sit and talk or walk around an get some exercise or something, (my school was mostly a big square and you could walk circles, made it nice and hard to get lost in it lol) but they placed teachers to stop students from leaving the hall directly outside the lunch room, which was always packed and very uncomfortable to be in. and it often caused a big traffic jam when the classes started again.

Just today when the university screwed up my dorm arrangement.

Well, My school starts tomarrow and they just posted the schedules 30 seconds ago. (7:56 EST)

jesus your just starting? i've been in school for 3 weeks and have already had 7 assignments and 3 quizzes and 1 test...

where do you go and when do you get done with your 1st semester? or is your school a trimester

mine used to have a special room for people who didnt want to attend the pep rally, where we played card and video games, painted etc. it got removed senior year because the class president thought art and games was a waste of time and tried to petition to have the gaming and art club removed. since i was considered the "gamers leader" i was told to dissuade her from doing it. i told her if they got pulled, the aftermath wouldnt be pretty and she might have to transfer, thus her petition would automatically be removed or something like that

 

[Aprilgold]

My school, when I was younger, always took the side of the people who bullied me so they wouldn't have to do any work. Even when I was badly beat up. Twice.

Yeah, same, except I was watching kids get beaten the fuck up, and told every god damn teacher, not a single one raised a eyebrow. This is not even exaggerated, kids brought BATS one day to beat up the kid, the guy went to the hospital 4 times. He soon left because the school did nothing.

i wanted to take german as my foreign language but when the year i could take it they changed the class to latin so i was forced to re choose my class so i went with Spanish.

 

[let's rock]

Yah, our principal banned plastic zip tiew calling them weapons, like yours we can no longer go somewhere else to get something else good to eat, and worst of all if our new assistant principal catches students not just kissing in the halls, but even holding hands or briefly hugging they get in trouble, my Green Day 21st century breakdown t-shirt was banned for this reason

EDIT: Oh and they cut drivers Ed

 

[titykaka]

i was unable to carry on at my private school as i (my parents) couldnt afford the fees despite getting some of the best GCSE results in the school they refused to give me a scholarship

 

[Archangel768]

OT: My school has random laptop screenings and can look through personal info if they feel you are doing something your not supposed to do. I know it is their laptops and all but teenagers need some privacy.

Then use your own god damn computer T.T"

lol. In my school which I finished last year they introduced this program called LANschool that you had to have installed on any laptop of your own that you brought into school.

This LANschool program had a key logger on it so anything we would do such as logging onto the Escapist to a bank accounts would be recorded by them. It also restricted access to crucial components such as task manager so if that one program wouldn't close, instead of ending the process we would have to restart the computer.

Fortunately, my friend and I being in our last year decided not to go to the IT room and get the program installed, they never bothered going after us probably because they figured we would be gone in a few months but it still annoys me that they introduced such a thing that even had to be installed on peoples own personal computers.

Just kinda sucks how we easily have the most difficult sport and while the volleyball team gets everything they want

As a kickboxer who also appears in competitions, I can't help but grin as a matter of general principle.

What is it with American Football players and thinking their sport is tough? Running around and bumping into people in full armour is nothing.
Nothing compared to having to leap around and fall flat or land on your knees to catch a shot in the far field in volleybal. Nothing compared to one or two fingers being struck by a powerfull ball as you try to block. Nothing compared to a fucked up ankle as someone steps or lands on it from across the net.

Not saying this sport is the hardest besides some bruises it's pretty easy and it helps being bigger then everybody but in my school of the sports available we have the most difficult one in our school...in our state...in our city...in our school and we get almost no funding. I've had more difficult paintball matches then football games. My point is that the volleyball team in my school is an embarrassment to sporting and theyve gotten team trips to baseball games with an astounding 1-14 record last year.

 

[SanguineScale]

Damn...... These schools. Just wow. I can't even complain. I mean, I didn't like high school, but that was mainly the fault of the idiots surrounding me, not the teachers or the government or the principals or anything that. Amazing what you guys have to put up with

And don't even get me started on how much I can't complain about my university. They publicly screened for us the most expensive porn film ever made, for free.

To this day I'm still not sure why.

 

[prince_xedar]

After reading other posts on this thread I can't really complain beyond a few dickhead teachers but I kinda wish my school gave a flying fug about the football team. I'm on it but we really don't get any special treatment and the volleyball team is where all the money goes. Parents are the ones who have to pay for a lot of our things and we even have to do an actual chocolate sale for funding. Just kinda sucks how we easily have the most difficult sport and while the volleyball team gets everything they want, a renovated gym (wasn't just for them but still) and a bag of chips. We have to have chocolate sale for a goal post on our small field. Just saying if I'm gonna play football I'd like some perks...earned of course...I'm gonna go lay in a tub of ice my body hurts.

Try playing a real contact sport like Rugby union and then complain

ooh I've seen rugby i can't complain about that but I'm complaining more about the near neglect of my team in comparison to a losing volleyball team that doesn't even have tryouts.

i can understand that feel man, same thing happens here with rugby over cricket

Okey this on the other side is a dick move, also illegal. You did report them right? o_o

My school lunch now cost $2.05 so that leaves 95 cent to walk around with. All day you can hear change in every one's pockets. Oh! and now the school milks are smaller, about 2/3 they were.

now i don't even play football, when i do/did, it was always recreational, but are you honestly saying volleyball is tougher than this?


that isn't even near the worst that i have seen, just something i looked up quick on youtube

sure the padding does help take away any of the bone breaking sharpness of the hit, but your momentum is still getting rocked to hell and back inside that padding.

just saying.

 

[KennardKId5]

This year, I think the procedures for school cafeterias and prison cafeterias got messed up. At least I hope so, because how else can you explain:
Not being allowed to talk.
Not being allowed to sit with people you want to sit at.
Not being able to (I kid you not)LOOK AROUND.
Not being able to get the gross food TWICE.

i was quoting the guy who quoted you, not quoting you directly, he was the one who mentioned volleyball and kick boxing

At the end of the year are school held somthing for all the students who didnt act like total fuck ups.

I was excited for it since id get to chat and goof around and then im told my name was written off to not go and guess what I even went to every fucking teacher I had they all said nothing had happened. Oh and I never even had detention once or got suspended or whatever fucking bullshit.



Have super icy roads? its hailing outside? Snow storm outside that has close to no visiability. Guess what you still get school we never fucking close even if all other schools close. Oh whats that half the school is sick including staff? Guess what WE STAY OPEN.


When I was in Elementry school I didnt eat lunch but one day the staff found out so guess what they said I had to eat so I refused they took me to the office and sat me there with the food saying im not allowed to leave til i eat. Guess what happened I didnt eat and I didnt get to go to any classes after lunch.
