Only 1 or 2 hours allowed on a pc/xbox/anything else that can be used for gaming (except handhelds) per day, that rule was a nightmare (and not the good kind of nightmare).
Urgh, lucky. my school, two boys got expelled on their last day of school ever, just because they came in wearing the opposite genders uniform, aka, skirts. Seriously, expelled.Darth Pope said:High School dress codes are pretty ridicules where I'm from. They do such a half assed job of enforcing it that NO ONE is ever in dress code.

No correcting the teacher because they're the adult and always right (actually said by our principal) and no having intelligent discussions about politics or religion or life because the teacher is trying to teach us about dangling participles or false history.
I had the total opposite to that. We weren't allowed in the canteen unless we proved to the dinner attendants (which were sort of like canteen bouncers) that we had money, and intended to pay for food. If you had you're own lunch, god help you, you were fucked. You couldn't sit in the foyet because you'd get crumbs everywhere and it's "Extra work for the cleaners" despite that being their fucking job, you weren't allowed to take it outside because of "litter" and you couldn't get into the canteen because you weren't paying for food. Basically unless you wanted to just shout "FUCK YOU!" right at the deputy head, who was the douche to end all douches, you'd go hungry.FoxyStig said:You must wait to be dismissed from the caffeteria to play outside.

Or, you know, people could take a moment to think about the underlying logic behind the rules and not fly off on a hyperbolic rant about the idiocy of adults. Most of the "injustice" mentioned so far makes perfect sense if considered for just a moment. For instance, you can't run in corridors because a) it's dangerous for you, and b) it's dangerous for other people. Schools are responsible for your safety while you're in their care, they are legally liable if you are injured or if your actions cause injury to someone else that they should have foreseen and prevented.samaritan.squirrel said:Huh..Reading over all this..Something needs to be done. School is bloody ridiculous.
You would have had the time of your life if you were in my class. No one respected the teachers and most stopped enforcing the rule when 95% of the class simultaneously told them to fuck off and stop suppressing our intellectual development. The teachers that did enforce them however made would make you homicidal. They were also terrible teachers.Ace of Spades said:I would pop a blood vessel weekly if I were in your class.Jester Lord said:Not being allowed to run during recess in grade school because someone might fall or get hurt.
