The worst rule in your school

[soaking_wet_BI]

Hmm.. well we also have to whole no jackets thing. Although I don't live in Alaska, I do live in north Jersey. Our winters are pretty harsh. And another rule that's stupid is.. I guess the whole fall asleep in class rule. If you're caught sleeping in class, the teacher is fully within their rights to force the school nurse to give you a drug test. Most teachers don't, however, you never know. Hello? We're American teenagers. We're bound to sleep at inappropriate times. It's in our genetics.

hmm...our school has a handbook, but hardly any of the rules are followed. the dress code is abused horribly. we aren't supposed to wear tank tops/spagetti straps/slippers, but yet girls come in wearing only a wife beater, bra (which you can see through the wife beater), and guy boxer shorts. nobody cares. our school bought laptops this past year. you are supposed to be able to use them during seminar/study hall, but you seldom can. hmm..what else. we don't really have any lunch rules, except that the vending machines are on a timer and they shut off between 11 and 1. you can go outside, but you aren't supposed to go to your car. kids do anyway and smoke. you can't go into the gym until school starts. you aren't supposed to be in the hallways during lunch, just the commons area. the library is closed during homeroom. i'm sure i'll think of some more later.

That's insane! Cruel and unusual, I say! I spit upon your school administrators. Puh, puh.

The 'no red shoelaces' rule would definitely be in at least the top ten stupid rules for my school (at least, my old school, I'm entering High School this year and good riddance). I suppose it's a gang sign or something, but, honestly, what is that? The "If we ignore it and get it out of our sight, it'll go away!" philosophy doesn't quite sit with me.

Can't eat in the hallways. Or drink in the hallways. Like I get that we can't do it in the resource center (main room) but the hallways? Also, only for middle schoolers, and since I'm in high school now it doesn't matter but still, they can't wear any color nailpolish except light pink and no makeup.

No backpacks in classrooms.

When I was in high school, we had some teachers with that rule, other teachers with rules about using rest rooms during class, short class changing time, and some teachers who kept all the students after class for talking, even the ones who didn't say a word. Combine all those together and you get what it was like during one of my class changes. I hated that school so much.

My Chem teacher did that. We stayed twice partially becuase of me, but she did this about ten times during the year. I had to walk to a class across the school, and was late whenever my Chem teacher decided to pull that shit.

You can't speak Japanese in ICT room 4.

Not neccessarily bad, but very stupid. WHY is it a rule? Do they think there are regular visits to the ICT room by Japanese cannibals?

[blue-babe-14]

you can't take your blazer off without asking a teacher and you can't get lunch if you're not wearing a blazer, how stupid is that

My English teacher wouldn't let anyone go to the bathroom during class because she was afraid that one of us would steal a chicken. I'm serious.

I paraphrase, "If you misbehave (believe me, their definition is way different from the general accepted notion of bad behavior) and do not achieve satisfacotry grades, we might not invite you to attend next year."

No sleeping in the hallway.
Also, the worst rule EVER is....


No walking in the hall with toothpaste on your face. Why? Because one day I had a zit and a teacher told me to put toothpaste on to make it better. Apparently, the toothpaste was so distracting they had to make a rule. But we can put toothpaste on our faces in the classroom, which everyone does now.

NO CELL PHONES. PERIOD. You cant even use your cell phone in between classes or at lunch. Another really dumb rule is that at our "seminar" which is practically a 15 minute free period for meetings or such no one can be in the hallways.. you have to be in a classroom

[SuperTrooper]

No sex in the bathrooms without a hall pass.

[Christine-0]

[Profi_C]

[Innocent_Succubus]

And EVERYTHING is gang related to them. Which is gay. Its freaking Hot Springs Arkansas.

..O____o
That's creepy.
I just got back from vacationing their.
Well, Bismarc to be precise, but we were in hotsprings a lot too.

You aren't allowed to wear sweaters when in P.E. even though they blast the A.C. in the middle of winter. And you can't wear them outside when running track, even in winter. I know Texas doesn't get nearly as cold as Virginia or Connecticut, but 30 degrees is still really cold to be running around in shorts and a t-shirt.

If you don't get in six laps of running within 20 minutes you fail the day. Fail two days and you fail the six-weeks and get a d-hall. Never an issue for me, but stupid none-the-less.

You can have cellphones as long as their off and in your backpack or locker. However, if the school does a search of your person or one of the random locker checks and it's found, it is confiscated.

Any thing that's taken up, be it a cellphone, CD/MP3 Player, aritcle of clothing, book, etc. is kept for 30 days, if it's not claimed it's thrown out or given away. However, to get it back, you have to pay $15 dollars. If you refuse to pay, they throw it out immediately and will hold your report card and all school records. You also can't get a parking permit. This is the most stupid and outrageous. Being charged to recieve your own item back.
