Stupidest rule in school...

[Link Kadeshi]

My school didn't let you start fires.

Although, when I went to school, we didn't have any stupid rules above the normal. Then again, I was a good boy *Insert Evil Smile*.

[CRAVE CASE 55]

Used to go to a Catholic School.

- You couldn't wear a necklace unless it had a cross.
- You had to take religious Education as a subject.
- You had to pray in Assembles and at the end of the day.
- Mass (communion) is compulsory and cannot be avoided.
- If you arrived late you had to do mass during lunchtime.

Fricking shove the bible down our throats while you're at it!

Hell man been there done that. I went to a fucking catholic school were they shoved a bible down our throats for 8 years. Then the Arch Dioseis of Cincinnati decided to close the school because the church does not have enough money to pay for the law suits for priests malesting kids so ya im in public schools now and i LOVE it.

I have no faith in religion anymore if theres a god hes not mad his presence known to me and i now follow the Communist philosophy that Religion is an opiet to society

Food in class? Five dollar fine.
Socks too short? Five dollar fine.
Collar unbuttoned? Five dollar fine.
Shirt untucked? Five dollar fine
Cell-phone in class? A whopping 25 bucks.

How the fuck can a school fine its students? Do they need the money that badly?!

1) You absolutely must take the right-hand path when walking anywhere in the hallways. Kinda like traffic. Violation of this rule is an automatic RPC. I'm not sure if middle school designs are really any different outside of my city, but mine was set up like six or seven "rings" that basically made up one giant ring, if you can picture that. That means that most of the inside hallways are circles. They're wide enough that about 6 people or about 8 children could walk down these things abreast, yet you must absolutely take the right, even if your next class is to the immediate left of your previous one. You had to walk around.

2) You were not allowed to bring in outside food (i.e. if it had a label like McDonalds or Starbucks. Even if you kept it in your lunch bag or some shit) You either had to buy the school lunches or not eat at all. Side note: The school wanted to try to crack down on child obesity. Their plan on doing this was simply removing all the soda machines and replacing it with Sobe brand juice, always-expired Nesquik, and Snapple. Then they added a Subway sandwich to the menu for the low, low price of $5 for a six-inch. I supposed that was somewhat of an improvement, considering that the only other things on the menu were pizza, fries, donuts, and pretzels.

Spoiler: High School

1) Uniforms, uniforms, uniforms. I went to a very... diverse public school. Let's just say our school was notorious for our record high amounts of fights, robberies, and vandalism. If you've ever seen Only The Strong, it was kind of like a watered down version of that school. The thing is, they enforced the uniform rule (quite recently) mostly to make the school a safer environment from outsiders. Because it's impossible to simply but a white polo shirt and khakis from Wal-Mart and simply stroll into the school. On more than one occasion, people have walked out of the school with computers, DVD players and even the projectors. They were being caught on camera and have been spotted by eye witnesses. The kicker? They could only be identified by the clothes they were wearing: the same fucking thing as everyone else.

2) The old principal must've been a fan of music because he had no problem with people bringing in their own little boomboxes to listen to outside during lunch, or in some cases bringing your instruments to school. We had so much fun taking our guitars and portable amps to school and having little jam sessions during lunch and the principal had no problem with that. When the new guy rolled around, if you couldn't immediately prove you were in a band program and that the instrument you were carrying was the one you play for band, it was automatically considered a weapon and confiscated.

3) Hell forbid your are a second late for class for any reason that doesn't require paperwork. Your ass was kicked the fuck out if it wasn't plastered on the seat by the time that bell rings. I had a large school, and having only two minutes of weaving in-and-out of people flat-out camping in the hallways made every ring of the bell both a time trail and an endurance test.

4) Unless you were in some sort of club hosted in the library, you had to make a fucking appointment to use the library. Yeah, you can't even go in there during lunch because it was jammed full of all the people from computer club, chess club, book club, anime club, etc.
Also, the librarian was a fucking moron. She talked the principal into enforcing a ban on Wikipedia from being used in the school, bringing us to a another rule...

5) No Wikipedia. Her reasons? Because it's not moderated, there's absolutely no sources, and it's hard to navigate (harder, than say, the school resource sites that require you to know three sets of logins and passwords, and then stumble around the search engine until you accidentally run into whatever it is you were looking for in the first place). Of course, let's not mention that this particular librarian has an extremely bad case of ADD (a fact she doesn't shut the fuck about) so I suppose scrolling down the the bottom of a page or paying attention to a website for more than five minutes is a fucking accomplishment for her.

 

[clericwithnolife31]

my elementary school had banned bullets of any kind from being brought, stored, or otherwise existing in our school. But no where in the student or teacher handbook ( my father being the 4th grade math teacher ) did it say that we could not bring guns.

I suppose the school board felt that if we werent allowed bullets, that the prospect of us carrying around unloaded handguns was fine.............ugh

 

[Mr. Valentine]

Well in my school I was suspended for "Canoodling in the corridor" Yes really. My boyfriend gave me a kiss on the cheek (the cheek on my face) before I went to class. So he, being on the school rugby team didn't get into trouble. I got bloody suspended.

(im verry sorry for this joke, it sucks, but i HAVE to)I DIDNT KNOW THE JOKER PLAYED RUGBY! (just going by your account name, again, forgive my crappy joke)

Er.....she said her boyfriend plays rugby, not her...

the joker is a guy and her name is harley thingy and joker is with the harley thingy. He said I didnt know the joker "harleys boyfriend" plays rugby

exactly, thank you

 

[PigsMayFlie]

We had a few if I remember right.

first of all School started at 9. Our school decided to have a stupid "Warning Bell" 5 minutes before first class, Effectively turning it into School starts at 8:55AM

Hooded tops were banned for a while. Apparently Scotland didn't suffer from rain like most people usually think at that time. well that time being Autumn. The ban was finally lifted... in Summer

Also girls in our school were not allowed to wear Socks that went above their knees. Apparently this distracted the Male class members.

They tried to ban us from wearing Non Black Jackets. this couldn't be enforced properly so they gave up

Oops i nearly missed the piece of shit Timekeeping rule. if you were late into school by 2 minutes or more. you were made to fill out a few forms. Makes sense, you're late so they make you do paperwork making you even more late.

Oh I'm doing good at this remembering buisness. Parents were phoned if a couple that were going out kissed. also we got hell for hugs.

This wasn't so much of a rule but a Generic Dick move. They removed fizzy juice from the Vending machines.

That's all i remember from that peice of crap school of mine

 

[WittyName]

The one I never managed to understand at my old school was:

"MP3 players are not permitted when going to and from the school."

Why can't we listen to music when walking to and from school? It's not like we're listening to them in school.

*snip*

Just quoting his post because I went to the same school, and I just want to say that it's becoming even more of a joke since we left back in '08. My sources tell me that people now have to wear the school's own polo shirt in P.E, which of course you have to pay for.

 

[The Night Shade]

in school we dont have any uniform rule,we have normal rules like no gum or mp3 players in classroom so i guess my school is fine

 

[dommyuk]

The most annoying thing was PE uniform, one day the half of our year that had PE was gathered in the sports hall and given a screaming at by the head of PE because so many people constantly forget all or pieces of their PE kit and went crazy ranting about how obesity is a serious problem and our slack with clothing wasn't helping, guess what item of clothing was stopping many of us from exercising? SOCKS!!! It sounded to me like the only thing stopping many of us was the strict rules of the school, not us. >.>

Also my ex-girlfriend was threatened with suspension for not wearing matching socks, I'd never worn matching socks for 90% of my time at the school and I'd been at the school for 2 years longer than her.

 

[Smagmuck_]

My principal just recently died of very unexpected cancer. Serves her right, the stupid butch ****.

Are you fucking serious? You think she deserves to die because she searched your friend once for possibly having a weapon? Fucking low.

Ladies and gentlemen, this little rain cloud is the prime example why L.A. has some of the lowest test scores in the country.

My town is worse... At one point we had the highest precentage of teenage pregnencies in the U.S.

 

[Scylla6]

My most hated and loved for the same reason was the "No effort" rule. If you didnt do too good at a subject you would not be able to take the test at GCSE. My R.E teacher wondered why I never did any work and spent all lesson in the back talking. Now I have 3 free periods extra a week.

 

[Raykuza]

The day after my mom allowed me to bring my Pokemon cards to school...

"No Pokemon cards allowed in school."

RAAAAGE!!!!

 

[Nemu]

Back when i was in school, in the library we had a very rigid "twelve-inch voices" rule, meaning that you were to only speak as loud as needed to someone twelve inches away.



The problem was that the tables were 36" across...

 

[mrhappyface]

No hats and no brands name labels bigger than 2 inch square in middle.

 

[zehydra]

They're just making sure they control you. hahaha, this is one point for the public high school system (Actually, I really kind of hate the public high school system, but they let you wear what you want at least: with some exceptions of course).

 

[Aesir23]

Well, there were the standard ones: No gum or hats, no food or liquids allowed in class.

But then you had rules like: Students must walk on the right side of the hall at all times.

We also weren't allowed to have the hoods on our hoodies pulled up (and it got cold in there dammit). Coats weren't allowed to be worn in class either.

Ohohoh, and here's my favourite: If your work wasn't done on time, you were sent after school to something called "The Homework Club." and had to stay until you finished, doesn't matter what reason you have for not finishing said homework, you were sent to the "Homework Club." and it didn't matter if it was 5:00 at night, if you weren't done, you stayed. And no, I am not making that up. My English teacher sent me there so many times because I couldn't finish writing a full page journal in ten minutes.
