My school has just crossed the line from 'Idiotic Logic' to 'Batshit Insanity'

my secondary school/sixth form put up tall wire fences around the building, tht coupled with the security cameras real made it feel like a prison, not to mention the morning uniform inspection the lower school kids would have to face everyday, if a singl thing was deemed unfit for a learning environment (whatever the heck that meant as most of the teachers I asked gave very different interpretations of the rules). I was luckily exempt from most of this madness as I was a sixth form student but they still tried to regulate our freedom almost to the excess.
The most idiotic thing I remember was the sgn in system for the sixth form only computer room (which was regularly stolen from stolen from us for meetings, despite there being a perfectly decent purpose built meeting room down the corridor and through the library). All we had to do was tick a box to show we were using the room when we were supposed to, as part of our extended study time. Obviously this system was far to easily abused, I don't know why they didn't just intergrate the swipe card system they had for registering in and out of the building.
According to my sister who is now endering the joys of A-level education at the establishment the system has been scrapped, now that the idiot head has left.
I'm so glad I'm at Uni now, everything is so much easier.
EDIT: We also had our fair share of emotional/mental breakdowns from staff, as well as a phasing ot of certain eements of tech work because it's deemed to unsafe. (I did some of my best work/ had the most fun in tech classes such as 'systems' and 'woodwork' soldering irons, circuit boards, chisels, lathes I loved that stuff). I'm starting to wonder whether becoming a teacher is really a logical move.

Get everyone in the school together on a school day, just before class starts.
Have a huge hug-off until teachers come to stop it, and when they do, KEEP HUGGING.

I've never had this happen. in my high school half the football team would regularly dry hump/grope/kiss, whatever. heck, on halloween a lot of the guys wore more revealing clothing than the women. if that rule was in my high school it wouldn't be five minutes before all but a few of the guys were suspended.
I know you meant "dessert," but I think desert actually fits it better.TerribleAssassin said:
OT: This is bullshit. You should sue like everyone else says. If that doesn't work, passive resistance and outright ignoring the rule should work. If this happened at my school I'd probably end up punching someone... if I wasn't a white male, I could probably even get out of any punishment by claiming they were antagonizing me.
Maybe if I were handicapped...
Oooo the "Impossible to enforce rule..."TrilbyWill said:
Alright then simply ignore it ad continue to hug each other.. And if you want to really piss them off (make them drop the rule) then make a big circle and all hug each oter at once... THey cannot give half the school a detention.
We had similar rules at my school... All blatently ignored.
Now the other question is; is there a rule against guys hugging girls?
If not then call sexual discrimination. They will back down
Color me confused, but I didn't say that.Ghengis John said:
Uh, by "class size" I don't mean "average classroom size", but all the people in that grade.Kargathia said:
Um, a middle school teacher I had gave me a detention for joking about a new policy being like prison. And an administrator once gave me a detention for making that little gun sign with my hand.
Also, some may find this stupid but I thought it was a good idea. In my high school, there was one bathroom in particular kids used to smoke in between classes and such. Because of this that hallway almost always smelled of cigarette smoke. Eventually they removed the doors from that bathroom, in order to make it nigh impossible for someone to hide in there and smoke. Sure enough, some idiots came up to me the next day with a petition to get the doors back on, for "privacy" reasons. I saw right through it and didn't sign it, the doors never went back up.

Yeah, we have a hands-off policy at my school where no-one is allowed within six inches of another student. Catholic schools, they irritate.
No-one pays any attention to this rule except for maybe one or two crabby old teachers who were probably present when Moses revealed the 10 Commandments, but it's still a stupid rule nonetheless.

My school has roughly one and a half thousand, so I would say two hundred and ten is quite small.The-Epicly-Named-Man said:
OT: That is bullshit. I hate how schools these days want to police everything people do, it's retarded! Luckily it's not like that here in Australia, but still.
