My school has done a few things
Im seventh form now, and in New Zealand students from 3rd to 7th are in the same school.
The rule used to e that under 7th formers were not allowed to leave school grounds during school day (8.45 - 3.15) but 7th form could do what they please as long as they had no class. THIS year I become 7th form and they decide that an 18 year old boy/man must stay due to safety.
They fork out millions for sport related things (last year finished construction for a gym costing 7mil) and leave academic studys to crumble.
Enforce a hair law that states - Under no circumstance is the hair of a student to 1) Reach beyond the hairline at the back of head. 2) Be touching the ears. 3) Reach down the face. 4) Contain any hair product or be straitned, braided or dreaded.
The uniform is O.K but now they make 7th forms wear a suit (Trousers, black lace up shoes, white shirt, tie, and blazer) and although I like the suit (I look amazing in one =D) it costs $600 NZD total. And enforced. Which I know for a fact is out of the price range of a few students.
During my school years I have excelled at math and english, but I haven't wanted to do cambridge english as I am already doing Cambridge Psych, I.T and Maths. But this year they have forced me into cambridge english (Literature studies) and that means I have 22 total hours of end year exams =/
My hair is naturally bleach blonde, but my eyebrows are brown, my old priciple (3rd to 5th form) made me dye my hair brown as it did not match. Prick! We now have new principle and she hasn.t said a word about my blonde being back =)
The list actually goes on

My school had a go at my brother for trying to get his hair back to the blond he had as a kid, they didn't believe him until he showed them a photo of him as a kid.
Now people are colouring their hair reds and purples, they don't seem to care anymore!

living in a small canadian town built on what is basically a mountain we enjoyed walking up a sheet of ice trying not to be late to school and no busses or lunch programs exept for the "aboriginal/native" children they also got paid to go to summer school like $400 a week or something im not racist or anything but plenty of the people in these programs were well off kids cheating the system while the not so well off people worked for the summer because you can get paid better. but thats just a fail in racial equality in my eyes nothing to do with the school system
we also had a few field trips cancelled for the year i was in the grade it was supposed to happen only to bring it back the year after
we also didnt have much extra curricular stuff and i get a bit pissed off when i hear my cousins from larger cities talking about how talented their friends are in dance classes or singing classes or whatever cause the biggest we had was a wrestling club with five members on a lucky day.... but we also have one of the best trade classes(welding mechanics and all that) in the province. so suck that city folk

making almost all my school days on even weeks end at 4:30 PM, right when the bus leaves, so I have to wait an hour, so I won't be home before 6 PM.
Started constructing the middle yard without notice, so it takes longer to get to classes.
Complaining about getting our exam dates told late resulted in me getting a warning by the headmaster.

Yep ive been here
1) they took a week off the summer holidays
2) we ellected a head boy/girl who said they would lower canteen prices but instead they increased
3) my school applied to be an academy for more money which they prompty spend on a new staff room instead of our badly out of date science labs
And finally my GCSE are gonna be harder than last year because of CATs

I just learned today that my school will be doing tests in all the core courses at the end of the year in addition to finals. The problem? Fail this test and you fail the class. Yep! Even if you had a 100% perfect grade for the whole year, if you fail this test you have to take the class again next year.
I joined pretty much to post in this thread, just so y'all know.
In ninth grade at a freshman high, we had a split lunch where half of us were in the cafeteria, half in class for third period (we only had four classes, ninety minutes each. We switched after Christmas). See, the entire time was lunch+ 'recess', meaning we could stand around in a grassy patch sandwiched between classrooms...and we had to sit as a class, and get up as a class. I managed to experience being in both the first and last classes to sit in the second half. If you were last, or close to last, you were boned half the time. It wasn't unusual for the last people to still be eating when the bell for the next class rang, so they had to dump the remains of their food, get their backpacks, and hurry to their last class. I wasn't actually in the last class, held back several occasions because the teacher that period was...
Let me explain a little more. He'd been teaching...easily 20+ years, and was the coach of the girl's track team as well as the physical science teacher. He used a projector with very visibly yellowed pages, pretty much just made us copy fill-in-the-blank notes from said projector 90% of the time, and was near-unanimously agreed to be 'creepy' by the female students. It was really just little things and a feeling, but it still made us uncomfortable. It so did not help that the day after Christmas break he came back with a mustache and trench coat. I feel so sorry for the girls who had to had him that half of the year.
Going back, there's the private school I went to for first, second, and third grade. Why did you stop me from checking out Harry Potter in first grade, you dicks? I come from a bookworm family and I ate those 'on-grade' books you wanted me to read like breakfast mints by that point.
Just for clarification, the book was in the library and older students could check it out.
Then...there's the doozy. In third grade, I developed Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (it's been in remission for five years or so, only minor physical damage). Needless to say, it was sort of traumatic and painful, and writing was unpleasant at the best of times. So I started to get a C in English because I couldn't write the short answers. I understood it all perfectly well, I just couldn't write and the teacher was "kind of" a ***** and wouldn't let me do it orally. I started dreading school and missing a lot of it, so I missed out on a couple of important things, like memorizing my multiplication tables.
Oh! There was also the incident where, I in a wheelchair and with separation anxiety, was left in an office after my mom dropped me off then disappeared, having left as the principal told me. As I cried because I had wanted to say goodbye, my mom was across the hall (as she later told me). The principal told her something about it 'being better for me'. I didn't even know about it until years later.
So, uhm...yeah. Sorry about the length, I write fiction and I apparently cannot be concise.

Stated that four students had suddenly died of AIDs to make the student body more aware of the disease. Mostly just confused people and gave the people who died a day from school.
Wow, all these responses make my school seem not so bad...
I can't think of many specific examples, but one that comes to mind is when our really awesome headteacher (in primary school) was replaced by a strict one.
Also, in my second year of high school, the school suddenly became a Maths and IT specialist school and changed the logo on uniform from a Talbot dog (somewhat like this [http://www.dunskey.demon.co.uk/assets/images/Gifs/Dog1.gif]) to a nice radiant sun. Which, of course, made us look more like a special school (not my words). Although changing to the new uniform isn't compulsory, it's still on all the letters and signs for the school, and the new logo is universally despised by myself and my fellow pupils.

My high school decided to cut IT this year. And they still kept classes likt Reel History(they watch fucking movies and write essays on them) and sports history. Why the fuck would you cut the class with probably the most relevance to the outside job market in the school and keep two useless classes. It baffles me.
My school seems awesome compared to the rest.
The one thing that I hate the most is the SPORTS SPORTS AND MORE SPORTS policy they have lately. Want to play american football alright we'll start you up on that in 2nd grade and everything will be catered to you because you matter the most but only if you have the right name so if your good at sports but don't have the name well sorry you can't play. If you have the name but suck at the game well you get to play all the time.
Got a sport that isn't considered AMERICAN like actual football(soccer) and Taekwondo. Well you have to drive about 20 minutes to a neighbor city to play soccer. And for the sport that teaches self defense well our AMERICAN sports are far more important we get the gym you use on only one day and you have to go the cafeteria to practice. ALso our AMERICAN Sports players are good little angels so they clearly could have never have made a mess of the bathroom which means you Taekwondo freaks did it.
Another thing they do is make our teacher pay like a $100 or more to use the gym but the sports teams get to use it for free and pretty much push us out if they want to for practice and stupid games even when they have a better gym in the middle/high school that isn't used nearly as much as the gym we use.
Oh and the sports team needs more equipment even though everything else is falling apart and we need five or six coaches for the football team and one or two of them aren't teachers but they probably get payed like they do.
It's a stereotypical Texas High School town and we are like 3 or 4 states away from Texas

One year the school board decided to cut all electives and all extra coricular activies except football (even though we have the worst football team in virgian)
they would have gotten away with it too if the entire county hadan't stormed town hall and demaned they fuck right off.

I had a very similar problem. My guidance counselor decided to put me in AP US History because of my high test scores. However, he "forgot" to inform me of this change. Over the summer, the AP class was assigned 8 chapters to read and outline (about 2 hours work per chapter) plus 2 essays (4 to 5 pages each). I'm now 8 weeks behind, according to my Teacher, who thinks 2 chapters a night, plus 2 essays ASAP is reasonable... I could have done the damn work, but nobody felt the need to tell me.Nostalgia Ripoff said:
