Poll: *sigh* Why do school systems suck so much ass?

I find the entertaining part about this is that after they force you to conform into a single minded group the moment drugs gets tossed in they say don't give into peer pressure.lifesucksadapt said:
So they want me to submit my learning experience to the teachers like a mindless drone and disregard what ever anyone else is saying? Schools teach elitism quite well I might add.
As a teacher the answer is yes.
Where I live the teacher is mandated by law to ensure the order and functioning of a good, safe learning environment for all students.
Allowing someone to flaunt a "fuck you" would be a slippery slope. If you let it go, next time what might someone get away with. Mostly you seem pissed that you got nailed but your friend did not.
The severity may seem a little intense, but why does one need to curse in a classroom. There are way more creative ways to curse at someone, the utterance of which would not bring trouble upon your head.
It is true that enculturalization is of paramount importance. Might I suggest you tell the very next cop you see "Fuck off". Then, you can be introduced to the circle of force, and perhaps come to understand that teachers enforce these rules for a reason. Or, less extremely, try it with your boss, then enjoy the starvation diet.
Most teachers really hate cracking down on their students, but the other options are far less tenable. A bad learning environment, or worse children who graduate from high school unable to function effectively in life. Typically these rules are aimed at the vast majority, to ensure that the greatest number possible leave school with an understanding of how to live in society as a good citizen.
Sorry if this is less than cogent.

You didnt deserve ALL that, maybe a strict warning but thats it.
come to think of it, ive never had much school related problems, except for my algebra teacher. He makes you read the board aloud which is basically as long as this
then calls on someone else to repeat it, then over, and over, and over..........
Also, if you ask him a question about any problem, he fully answers everything BUT your question.
In his Study Halls, you can barely breathe without getting yelled at. If you turn around its a referal, and he gives a smart ass answer to EVERYTHING. I mean you're older than dust so like dust, just shut up and get off our porch of righteous education!!!! /rant

I don't think the question for this poll is 'Why do school systems suck?', so much as 'Why do schools crack down so hard on vulgar language?'
The answer? ...because they're trying to teach you to be polite. Yes, they went a little overboard on the punishment for cursing in the classroom, but I suppose it did get the message across, hm? You won't be telling your colleagues to fuck off when you're in the middle of a business conference unless you want your ass fired faster than you can get to the third letter in that word.

As long as you don't become one of the teachers who is walked all over and has no authority. We had a teacher like that, she was a lovely woman but she couldn't control a class. She got locked in her cupboard by the shitty chavs on multiple occasions =/electric discordian said:
And haha at the MP part, that whole scandal even pissed me off and I don't pay taxes yet. Jacqui Smith's husband was one of the worst, I mean buying porn with tax payer money is just taking the piss.

My mate gave a teacher a Wedgey after class one day and he recieved 3 detentions for it, will go down as the funniest thing I've ever seen, the teachers arms flailing trying to grab his undies hahaha.
we were all scumbags at my school though
I think you got a very rough sentence on this one!
That is an awesomely easily abused rule. Want to get someone in trouble and don't care what happens to you? Make sure there's a teacher around to notice, then walk up to whoever you don't like and punch them. It's like real live griefing. Awesome.HontooNoNeko said:
Tried that in the beginning of the year, it got pretty boring and did not really have a great effect on my social life, which wasn't what I would call "flourishing" at the time. I, of course, let the brunt of all the stupidity around me go, but those teachers had it coming. One even called me something in Italian, that I didn't understand, for not having a red pen with me. Frankly, I just come up with puns in my head most of the time, but it bursts out into disobedience sometimes. Suppression is kind of unhealthy, you know. Anyway, I keep my grades up. Too nerdy to not do that. I'll try to follow your advice when Spring Break ends. Got any other advice?BonsaiK said:
School systems are run by beurucrats, to them almost nothing's acceptable without at least 1 or 2 strips of red tape.
I simply do what I feel I should to slip pass the red tape, by doing certain things I like where either they can't do anything about it.
and I have to deal with the Spokane School District, which being in America, is all the more reason why I wish someone would remind them we live in an equal-oppotunity society, not a corporation.

Teacher pay is a big thing. Seriously, if salaries for a job are low then the job is less attractive, generates less competition, and those who make it through the system to become teachers will be subpar.
Money is mishandled often when the schools get them, though. Too much is spent on sports, while little generally goes to lab equipment, books, etc. I know when I was in high school, my textbooks were often the same ones used 8 years or more before, which is a lot of years, especially for any science textbook.

I dunno about you, But when I was in school...Saying "fuck you" to a fellow student would give you 30 minutes lunch detention : /
I don't understand what made the school systems so severe

Much like I replied in that texas kid thread.. Again, completely unfathomable. You can't even get suspended here, you either get detention, or extra work. Cursing would probably get you detention.
So yeah, I'd consider you extremely wronged. Detention, or a warning, would've been my answers.

I went to the principal about 5 times in 7th grade. Every time it was because of some kid who thought I was bullying him even though I never talked to him.
Occasionally a friend would do something like try to grab my arse and I'd say "Dude... that's gay. Don't do it again" followed by a girl overhearing, telling that kid who then reported it.
The principal threatened to suspend me twice, but I managed to argue my way out.
