Stupidest rule in school...

[TK421]

I like hats.

This. The inability to wear my hat pisses me off greatly.

 

[feather240]

we had to ask to sit or stand, a boy and girl could not be in a room un suprivised, you had to wait an hour to use the restroom after meals, you ha to sign out to any where outside the main building, a staff member had to listen to conversations at all times

Maybe the bathroom thing is for people with disorders, after a certain amount of time of purging themselves they do it automatically, so they either get caught or the food is to far down the digestive track. It's still unfair though. That last one is bull though.

The story that goes with this wasn't from my country, but I do know the rules where quite the similar when I went to school. They can be summed up as: You can be punished for any action the school disagrees with, even if you where not on school property, dressed in a school uniform or even undertaking such actions during school hours. I kid you not, if you said something the principal didn't like you could still be suspended or even expelled as if you where saying such things on school property.

The story, again this was carried out in the USA, is simple: A handful of students hanged a banner ridiculing cannabis prohibition during the Olympic torch rally. "Bong hits for Jesus" was what the banner said, so it really isn't even a good protest against cannabis prohibition but clearly was just some mucking about. They, like other students, had been let out of class early to see the torch event and where standing on public owned property opposite the school grounds.

The US supreme court ruled that the school was in it's rights to punish free speech! This is twice made ridiculous as they where punished for violating a school rule even though the where NOT on school property and had been dismissed from school. Uniforms, didn't play a part seeing it was not Australia but a US school.

In dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens said, "This case began with a silly nonsensical banner, (and) ends with the court inventing out of whole cloth a special First Amendment rule permitting the censorship of any student speech that mentions drugs, so long as someone could perceive that speech to contain a latent pro-drug message."
He was backed by Justices David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Those three should all be given metals or something, for standing up to the fact that even students should be covered by free speech. It is most disgusting, indeed, that the so called 'libertarian' judges all sided AGAINST the constitution.

I thought that if you were under 18 years old (in USA) you were a second class citizen.

Can't go into the bathroom during lunch-break at main buildings. I went anyway, got sent to the office, told the Principal that my family pays taxes so I should be able to enter the restrooms.

They called my dad in and told him, he said that since he pays taxes I should be able to use the restrooms.

I was one of a few from then on allowed to enter the building to take a piss.

At my school say somone just randomly starts beating the shit out of you, not only do you get your ass kicked for no reason you get suspended for 10 days witch basically means you fail all of your classes for that semester.

This is what a cop told me about that rule. You are on school property from the moment school ends, until you walk through your front door. It is fucking bullshit though. And to all the people that got suspended fighting, why? Only idiots and cowards start fights where the teachers can see them. This is mainly aimed at people who started the fights.

"All students must refer to superiors as either Sir or Ma'am" I refused that one.

If you missed one homework assignment, you were forced to go to detention. If you didn't go to detention, you were sent to Saturday School. I never went to either and I was sent to both at least 30 times.

Boy's hair couldn't be past the collar. I had hair down to my chest at this time. Long, curly, light brown hair and no asshole was gonna tell me what to do with it.

Girls must always wear their hair in pony tails. What kinda bullshit is that??

Any food or drink was strickly prohibited in class rooms. Including water.

Girls may not have nail polish. I had polished nails. Dark blue. Rules didn't say anything about boys wearing nail polish.

And the worst one of all. (actually, 2 worst but their listed together) No backpacks are allowed on school grounds and lunches brought from home must be inspected before consumption.

What...The...Fuck?

This was all in Middle School. I don't even want to see the High School rules.

damn.............im going with option A and saying that all administrative employees are nazis and any teachers that agree are worse......

In my school they recently released a new rule saying that we can not go to the bathroom 5 minutes before class ends, in between classes, or for 5 minutes after class starts. That may not sound too bad but last year all my teachers.My teachers were pretty much nice people that liked to use humor a lot in the studies (and it worked too), but when someone asked to go to the bathroom they mutated into sadistic Nazi zombie pirate aliens with anger issues. 2 of them actually took points off for going to the bathroom, and only once a week too.

If i wanted to pee (and i usually did around 4th period), i either had to wait for 8th period(my orchestra AKA the class with a nice clean private bathroom), or had to survive the brain melting "glare" from the Nazi zombie pirate aliens. Getting into the bathrooms wasn't easy either, only 2 people in at a time and you had to show your ID. All because of those *******************ing crackheads that liked to do drugs in the bathrooms.

I had that rule in my high school, I know why its in place - How annoying (if your a teacher) would it be coming back to your lesson after lunch to have a load of pupils ask to use the bathroom. You've had like...an hour to use the loo, Instead you want to skive instead?

In my high it worked like so:

Intro
1 Period
20 min break
2 P
3 P
Lunch
4 P
5 P
Home

There was the hour rules in the 2nd & 4th period, And towards the end of the 3rd Period, Just common sense really. It was very rare i ever had to go to the toilet during lesson time.

But i get your sentiments.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I got a detention because they changed the classroom I was supposed to take my detention at last minuet without telling me. I also had no idea our school had a fourth floor so I was wondering where he hell room 403 was... Oh yeah, and the school office opens about 6 minuets AFTER detentions are served.
Edit: also I was 36 seconds late to my detention.

 

[JohnSmith]

No hugging at all ever. That rule was so very much fun to break.

 

[Emphraim]

Wow, after reading some of the rules you people have to put up with, i have nothing to say.

I suppose the most annoying thing about my school is you aren't technically allowed to play video games or listen to music during school hours. I say technically because everyone ignores that and just plays anyway during free periods.

 

[Shadowhatchi]

Also the idea of unifors annoys me badly!

My school had uniforms and you clearly have no idea just how much trouble the prevent, It practically erases a whole aspect of bullying, in that you cant get slagged for what you wear because everyone is wearing the exact same thing.

I hear this statement all the time, however I've never actually seen anyone get bullied for what they wear.....

Then you sir go to a very nice school and live in a very nice neighborhood it always happened and still happens where i live and went to school. I'm 21 and kids still slag me for the way I dress granted I'm a lot bigger than they are now so a good glaring ends it but it still happens.

I would love to take your compliement, but just today one of my classmates got his nose broken in a fight.....That took place during class in the classroom. However it had nothing to do with their clothes.

 

[nokelso]

My school would flip if you had a music player/cell phone. It didn't even matter if it was on or if you were using it, if they even think they saw it they would take it. Then you would have to wait 10 days before your parent was even allowed to claim it back.

They were also very strict about tardies, even if I was usually always late to my 6th period because it was on the other side of the school in it's own building, and my 5th period was on the 3rd floor. It's not my fault I have short legs.

1. The off campus also didn't make sense to me but if your wearing uniforms it's making the school look bad and I do believe they have the right to punish if said students make the school look like it's full of trouble makers.

2. There was a certain court case refering to the whole free speech thing at school, it boiled down to the school administrators have the right to censor a student if they are disrupting the student body or school functions. Also there was another one like that that said they can search kids belongings without a warrant as long as they have reasonable cause, that part had nothing to do with your stories I was just telling you that so you can know that this isn't the only time the school system has bent constitutional rights.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

In Elementary school, we couldn't talk for half the lunch for incase "someone chokes".

 

[Zolrak 22]

We weren't aloud to get out of the school until parents came to pick us up. -.- Entertaining how 16 to 18 year olds had to wait for their parents. They actually locked us up until they felt like it.
Let's see what else, the fact that you weren't aloud inside if you got just a few minutes late.
And also that in order to get out early when you had no classes you had to wait until they felt like filling some forms that in the end were used for nothing so you could get out of the school and ofcourse with parent supervision.
Oh and we werent allowed in the hallways nor Library when classes where given(we had free periods) and considering that the school was composed mainly of hallways everyone pretty much used to break the rules. . .

 

[Starnerf]

Wow. My schools never had these kinds of rules. The extent of our dress code was "no midriffs and no spaghetti straps" Though nobody seemed to care about the straps one. Fights were very rare and usually took place off school property. No hat rules except those that the teachers set for their own class, and you could go to the bathroom any time the teacher would let you, which was usually anytime.

 

[Godavari]

Last year: 1200 kids were crammed into five lunch shifts.
This year: 1600 kids are being crammed into just three.

Ffs, can the administration get any dumber?

 

[Drakmorg]

My school has security checkpoints and metal detectors at all entrances.

Problem is, there are so many people at my school that the security workers can't take more than a second to look through you're bags, otherwise it would take far too long, plus half the time they don't care if the metal detectors go off, for the same reason.

In fact, the security checkpoints are such a useless waste of time that I once snuck in a large hunting knife just to prove that I could easily do so.

 

[firedfns13]

Well, at Purdue you can be pulled over for speeding on your bike, you can be pulled over for not having nightime running lights on your bike, but you CANNOT be pulled over for not wearing a helmet.

I'd have thought wearing a helmet was the most important one...

Knowing the way the people drive there its probably not. Youre likely just as dead with or without it.

Btw, your diving equipment is excellent.

I refuse to wear a uniform; to me it symbolizes subservience and being like everyone else...two things I am against.

http://fc09.deviantart.com/fs27/f/2009/247/9/9/DIY_Hammer_and_Sickle_by_AkaiShizuku.jpg

I stitched a hammer & sickle into my mp3 player's wrist strap thing. I'm going to start arguments if anyone tells me to take it off, fascist bastards.

Wait, you stitched the symbol of the Soviet Union into your wrist strap, yet you oppose subservience and being like everyone else?


Sounds a bit *puts on sunglasses*....contradictory

YEEEAAH!

The USSR was not communist, this has nothing to do with them. They used the hammer & sickle because they were trying to implement a communist system. They were in the socialist phase, but then Stalin took over and bum-raped the whole thing and turned it into a totalitarian dictatorship.

Communism is, in fact, quite different from how it is depicted in the propaganda your government has fed you.
