Stupidest rule in school...

You can't defend yourself.
Okay, you can DEFEND, like blocking and stuff, but you can't counter-offend, like throw back a punch, or you'll have as much of a suspension as the bully.
And apparently now ISS (in school suspension) is the stuff.

You HAVE to wear your idea or you get ISS(detention) for the rest of the day. Because a little piece of plastic is obviously more important than education. But what really irks me is that the say its for our own safety. If a crazed murderer came into the school brandishing an assault rifle and a bowie knife, I would sure as hell know it whether or not he was wearing an ID.
...Damn... I was hoping for you to admit to lying, if you don't mind I'm going to curl up and die for the new low of humanity.Xan Krieger said:
Well, I remember that in primary school we weren't allowed to playfight which really pissed me and my friends off 'cos we were quite into slicing eachother up with the old invisible lightsabers (but we did it anyway and only got caught once XP) and also we weren't allowed snowball fights (even if we were allowed out into the fucking snow)
Let me see..
I remember a rule about "Students aren't allowed to engage in sexual relations with teachers."
And I laugh, none of the teachers in my school were lookers.
And we had bans on just about everything. That no-one but the principal and his few, maybe about ten, cronies(ass-kissers) ever enforced.
So people (students AND teachers) were in classrooms chewing gum wearing hats listening to their iPod's and playing on their PSP's.
And every single one of those items are banned.
There is a rule on Senior Skip day, if you are not at school that particular day, you get after school detention, if you miss after school, you have Saturday detention, if you don't go, you loose a graduation ticket. And they had a system where they give you 10 tickets, to give to 10 people to show up to your graduation.
Oh wow I have 9 left, I don't even know 9 people that aren't ALREADY graduating themselves!
Well this isn't a rule.
But the principal when I was in high school would walk around the school with a megaphone blurting out really cheesy lines. "Don't play, get that A!" .. *strangle*
And some things just shows how much denile he was in.
"This is not a Ghetto School!"(I don't even know why he was shouting this through a megaphone)
'Tell that to the roaches the size of a egg.'

My (public) high school threatened suspension for students that had white shoe laces on their black shoes.
That was until I was threatened with this punishment and my mum called up the school's district supervisor.
She thought it was as ridiculous as we did.
The Principle got in alot of trouble which made the whole silly ordeal bitter with a sweet sweet conclusion.

Something to aim for, no?Crimson_Flag said:
My senior school was on 4 different sites. In year 7&8, despite the fact that most of us walked/travelled to and from school unaccompanied every bleedin' day, we weren't allowed 'off-site' at lunch/breaktime, and if we had a lesson on a different site, the whole class would have to be escorted (read: marched) to the other site, and back again. The really stupid part was, if we'd been allowed to travel unaccompanied, we wouldn't have had to waste about 1/2 an hour out of every 'off-site' lesson.
My mistake my good man, I apologise.Acaroid said:To be fair my ancesetors did no such thing! My grandparents came to australia from latvia during world war 2-Orgasmatron- said:
Well the rules in my school are very stupid, either because it is too strict or there is a lacking of enforcement, here is an example:
The most strict rule: you cannot say certain words; sounds harmless until you ban words that only upset ONE person. Words such as "noob" or "Runescape" or "massacre". Very frustrating.
Most undercut rule: A person in my school pulled the fire alarm recently and you nkow what hes getting? FRICKIN THREE DAYS SUSPENSION!!!!!!!! WTF!Christ if he killed someone would he only be expelled? How ABSURD.

Not really any stupid rules in my school, although they really are a fascist regime down in the IT Department. Even sites that teachers deem useful and educational are blocked.
My old high school used to have ids that we needed to wear on lanyards around our necks. It had to be visible outside of your shirt at all times (except PE) and you had to have your picture facing forward. If you forgot your id you were sent to the office until a parent could bring it in for you. It caused so many problems for parents that needed to leave work to pick up a stupid piece of plastic that the next year they got rid of the requirement to wear ids. We still got them, but it wasn't required to wear it.
I think they might have also started a ban on solid colored shirts because of "gang affiliations" but I could be wrong. I know that's the reason they banned hats though. They also still have a ban on pagers, but I don't think anyone besides doctors have owned a pager in the past ten years.

My high school didn't have an open lunch meaning that during lunch, we had to stay in 1 of 4 rooms. We couldn't hang out in the halls and we couldn't leave school grounds. Total BS
Also: making pep-rallys mandatory is another load. If you tell me I don't have to go to my last 2 classes that day, it's a total dick move to make me go outside and watch a bunch a cheerleaders and other such people who are way too into the whole school thing.

I'll tell you the most pointless rule: Mandatory attendance at fourth grade social studies class. We'd learn about, for instance, how the biggest lake in Gästrikland county is Storsjön. (This is an extremely trivial fact.) This would be mentioned once only, not repeated to make sure we remembered it or anything like that. Never again was it mentioned during our nine years long education.
So apparently, the people planning the school curriculum thought this would be something we might have use of in our future lives as adults. And they didn't just say "Well, they could just Google it or find a book or something", no, we must be taught this in school so that any Swedish citizen, if ever asked about it during his/her adult years, will know the answer immediately.
And still they mention it only once. Yeah, that's going to work.
Why teach us completely unimportant stuff at all if they don't bother trying to make us remember it?

Maybe your teachers are just tame. REALLY tame. I mean, anyone who uses the word "canoodling" to describe a peck probably shouldn't be allowed to teach PSHE... Then again, anyone who uses the word "canoodling" without irony probably shouldn't be allowed out in public.Harley Q said:
Not my story, but a similar thing happened to a lass I knew in maths. The principal saw her sitting on her boyfriend's lap and, whereas I've no idea about the specifics, I assume you can all guess that he complained. This is in college by the way. AS level students aren't allowed to sit on eachother's lap it seems. Not a problem though, since his name is Kitcatt so nobody pays attention to him, they simply choose to "have a break". Truly, we are the wittiest college ever.
