my school has cameras everwhere except the restrooms/changerooms (boys locker room is the highest theft area >.>) but you do get a 300 dollar reward for tipping off graffitti... easiest money I have ever made.
Ryai, people like you piss me off. there seem to be a lot of you, too. Not only do I disagree with you people on your opinions, usually being that all students are stupid, irrational, and easily-manipulated. Do you not realize it offends many people reading it (not trying to sound like "That guy", but it does.). As for the hat thing, he is simply pissed off that the school system employs incompetent, uneducated people who's decisions are made on a combination of social constructs and their own personal views.ryai458 said:
OP: I would do what they want, and then get revenge on them by putting mercury in their water, so it accumulates over the years and finally kills them. Just if you really hate them.
I have some HILARIOUS school rules you will just love.
1. No iPods/MP3 players - Ever, not in lesson, recess, lunch you can't even use them as USB's -.-
2. Year 12's coming to school to talk to teachers and study etc (we have finished and are currently studying for exams) MUST wear full school uniform. I went in to drop off 1 assignment to 1 teacher, 5 minutes, I got stopped by 3 teachers and abused, because I wore casual because I live a fucking 40 minute drive away and I'm not going back home before going out!
3.We received year 12 hoodies with our names on the back and shit (I'm sure you all know the type) yeah at first we werer only allowed to wear these on mondays, now not at all. What the Fuck!?

Worst school rule in my district: anyone involved in a fight gets automatically suspended. Think about that for a moment. If someone were to walk up and punch you in the face without provocation, you'd be suspended. Even though you hadn't done anything. What the shit is this nonsense?
My school district used to be exactly the same, it was quite pathetic. That and we couldn't chew gum ever, which I understand to a degree, but it is kind of ridiculous.
Did I mention that tag was banned in elementary school?

You like the words "Immature" and "Mature", don't you? Please elaborate exactly what you mean by that. Awareness of the issues? I know many 15 year-olds who are well informed. Being Level-headed? Most teenagers are good at ignoring and suppressing violent drives. "Mature" is simply a word invented to mean having choked down every social construct in modern society.Glefistus said:
As for 15-year-olds being allowed to vote, I think the competency test is a wonderful Idea. Your argument against it is completely irrelevant, as the test would be designed to determine the exception to what you seem to think is the majority.
in my school we have to have these little meetings every few months to talk about a non issue that they think is an issue like last week we had to talk about the rebel flag, i live in new england there's like one car with the bumper sticker on it, we had better things to do
A very long time ago, as in before any high school students here were EVEN BORN (spring of 1991), a 13-year-old eighth grade me went on a "date" (you'd all scoff at this by modern 2009 oversexualized-youth MTV standards) with my "girlfriend" (again, it was 1991. "Girlfriend" meant "girl I spent all my time with but never even kissed.") After going out for pizza and walking and talking in the park for what seemed like days (but was probably an hour and a half, max), we went back to her place, where her mom served us snacks.
OK, we get it. Get to the point, Grandpa.
*waves cane* Pipe down, whippersnappers! Now then, there is a point to this. The girl's mother imparted to me the greatest bit of wisdom anybody has ever given me, childhood, adulthood, or otherwise:
"Don't worry about being a kid. And especially don't worry about something as trivial as junior high or high school. The kids for whom this is the best time of their lives will have sad, sad adulthoods. Get to 18, get your diploma, get into college, and get on with your life and you'll wonder why you ever worried about junior high or high school."
Nearly 20 years later, I still remember this advice (and I'm still friends with the girl---we're both married, but not to each other, and we talk about nothing via email the way we used to face-to-face as kids. I never did kiss her. It just never felt right, and by age 15 we'd both moved on in the "romance" department.)

My advice? Massive, obscenely-colored Mohawk. One thing they can't do is make you cut your hair.
Edit: Or take my Latin teacher's advice, "Remember, when they say, 'That's wrong, it's should be done like THIS!' just smile creepily and think in your head, 'Yeah, you old jerk, you're going to DIE before I DO!'"

I used to go to a really conservative, Methodist, all-girls primary school, so that led to a lot of really weird school policies. The most obvious one is that teachers refused to read us Harry Potter books and banned them from the school library, because they contained magic. oO I still wonder why my parents sent me there...
My current school is usually really cool, but we've had some issues because, in the last two years of school, you don't have to wear school uniform. So, anyway, one day, this guy in my class comes to school with a skull on his T-shirt, and this teacher tells him to cover it up or take it off because, according to her, "Skulls represent death." That was pretty weird, but, the best part was when, the next day, the guy comes back with a new shirt, where he's drawn, in glitter, a smiling skull, with this written underneath it; "I am a happy skull. I, in no way, represent death."
And that's the story of how I came to find skulls hilarious.

wow, they treat you like a prisoner. well, at least that will make the school to prison adjustment that much easier for most of your classmates.
If you?re pissed about the hat have I got bad news for you! It doesn?t get any better as time goes on. My entire house got put on super happy fake school probation for 6moths because they found an empty in one kid?s room. The best part was that I graduated in 2 weeks so this meant nothing. Oh and only one of us in the house was under 21.
yeah I agree like, when they try to take away an Ipod or Cell phone. at my school if they catch you with a cell phone two times, they keep it until the end of the week, and if it's on friday, then you loose it for the weekend. its like "get the fuck away from my phone, I payed for it, and you have no right stealing my shit"mattttherman3 said:
altho I have never had this happen, but I see other peoples logic.
I highly doubt that is what mature was invented for. That would be like saying Video Games were invented to be murder simulators. Neither statement is true. Maturity means having the common sense to know when not to act like an idiot, kid, or Anarchist loving teenager.VicunaBlue said:
Yeah, school rules suck at times but acting like an Anarchist and going around breaking rules won't get you anywhere especially over rules that mean nothing later in life.
If you're going to rebel than rebel against something that hurts humanity like war.
urghh
now i'm not usually one to ***** about the search bar, but seriously.

You're angry because the school has banned what it deems inappropriate clothing.
Well, that's justified. In some places gangs are a huge goddamn issue and you can get assaulted for wearing the wrong thing. I know this from personal experience. It's not a baseless rule. Just be happy they're not enforcing uniforms. A student at one of the schools in my former state was gunned down for wearing the wrong thing.
The loiter/lunch thing is completely justifiable, too. They could have had issues with students selling drugs or tagging walls while the staff couldn't watch. Your little friends have issues keeping their paint on paper, suddenly you're not allowed in the hallway anymore.
As for the police box, what's wrong with that? Students have the opportunity to be completely anonymous while reporting someone breaking the law? That's great. It could help anything from harassment to thievery to assault. I don't see anything wrong with something that could make the school a safer place to be.
It really is amazing to read how someone could be such a child about such inane things.
