  • In my primary school you had to read books out in front of the class and I was often chastised for reading too quickly. "Matthew you're never going to get anywhere in life reading things out really fast for people.."

    My school banned the word button last year... apparently it was being used to (and this is a direct quote) “propagate bullying amongst pupils”. This did not in any way affect bullying, nor did it prevent people from saying the word button. What it _did_ do was start a school wide trend of a) using button as an insult, and b) bursting into fake tears as loudly and obnoxiously as possible in response.
    It annoyed the hell out of faculty but what were they gonna do? Ban it a second time?

    In elementary school, we collected and traded gel pens with weird inks like spiraling colors, glow in the dark, etc. One day, my group got caught trading pens instead of doing group work, and the teacher lost her cool and ended up banning pens. We all had to use pencils. It only lasted about a week until kids started using pens again. I don't think the teacher did anything about it because she probably realized how silly it was to ban pens at school.

    I was in a middle school German class and one of the characters in our textbook was named Eva Schmidt. One of the guys in my class insisted that one of his exes was named Eva Schmidt and the name became a bit of an inside joke among the kids in my class. In one of the audios we used for listening practice, this girl introduced herself saying, "Hallo, mein Name ist Eva Schmidt." One of the guys ripped the audio from the CD and, a week later, presented to our class his greatest achievement yet: a 1 hour loop of "mein Name ist Eva Schmidt." Eventually this obsession with Eva Schmidt got so crazy that our teacher purposely did not assign any assignments that included that character and she tried to ban the name for a week. The guys complied and did not speak the name inside the classroom, but outside the classroom, it was almost as if every female human on the planet was named Eva Schmidt because that's literally what they called everyone. So yeah, there's my story.

      @@beano9503 Yep. My school had this long list of "violent actions" that was set up after placing a zero-tolerance policy due to a fight that occurred. Spoilers: the "fight" that caused the policy was just two kids poking each other on their shoulders, non-stop, after being told to stop repeatedly. Then parents got involved somehow, and that leads to the stupid list being placed and strictly enforced.
      To be fair, half the list had stuff that you'd expect to be there, actual fighting, tripping and shoving with the intent to make someone fall hard, that sort of thing. But the other half of the list was just crap like swearing, rude and mocking gestures, things that aren't actually violent just... rude. And all but some of the most (actually) violent actions were met with the same level of punishment. The eye-rolling was what I remembered the most because I got detention for a week for rolling my eyes. Once.
      TL;DR The list was utter garbage and was only the tip of the iceberg as to why the middle school years were the worst of my childhood.

    The only word related experience I recall is that two of my classmates were talking about getting hot flashes as in the medical concept, but our Spanish teacher must've had some pretty low views of all of us because her assumption was hot flashes as in seeing people expose themselves, and they're hot...

    In middle school, one of my teachers banned "blue whale" because we kept talking about that app that was making people commit suicide and it wasn't a "school-appropriate" conversation topic. Also, the word "nyeh" was banned because some of us tried to make it into a language and one of the teachers complained that we sounded like dogs barking at each other. Unfortunately, though, this led to me referring to it as "the n-word" in front of my mom, and she was horrified that I wanted to say _the n-word._
    Edit: A lot of people were asking me to teach them the Nyeh language, so I explained it in a reply.

    Not a word, but my Jr. High banned backpacks. Yes, backpacks.
    Their reason was because quite a few kids kept multiple books in their bags and parents would complain that their bags were too heavy so they just outright banned backpacks.
    The reason why kids kept so many books in their bags was because they didn’t have time to go to their locker due to the time in-between classes only being 5 minutes. And in many cases if their locker was on the other side of the school, it was literally impossible to go grab their books before class without being late.
    So kids just started doing the same thing, but carried all their books in their hands instead.
    To this day over a decade later I still think 90% of adults are absolutely moronic. They actually thought that banning the solution would fix the problem.

      Come to think of it, in some other countries they have textbooks of reasonable size which can be humped in a backpack without incurring lasting injury. So many foreign schools don't even have lockers.
      When I was an exchange student in the US, I for some reason had problems with the rotating knob combination lock they had on lockers, so I didn't really use it and that wasn't great. Turned out most classes had "backup" textbooks for those who forgot to bring one so turned out I could use them instead of bringing mine.
      5 min breaks between classes and 55 min long classes are unreasonable, too. Anyways, because of that in most our classes last 10-15 minutes of class were actually sort of free time. I ended up doing home assignments in that time so that I didn't have to do them at home.

    In my 7th grade math class, the words "easy" and "hard" were banned. The teacher said it was judgemental to others who didn't have the same math mastery as you. Best part is that every time someone said the word, we'd jokingly get all worked up about it, even if the teacher said it on accident. She never punished anyone though, she just reminded the person who said the word not to say it.

Got to the point where we were hurling ourselves face first over the rope before they were taken away. In a brilliant display of disregard for authority, we just picked up one of my friends at both ends and jumped over him. Now THAT got us is a ton of trouble.

I remember the boys harassing the girls not letting them pass so they can go to the bathroom. They never banned football, it kept going until the end. They were so obsessed with football that when a teacher asked a girl to hold a ball the leader (biggest jerk) shouted “she’s a girl how will she hold the ball?!” I had no nerves anymore so I said “shut the f- up and stop acting like a gangster, if you came face to face with someone to fight you would faint”

    in elementary school the phrase “its eleven twenty one!!!” got banned in a specific period, i think it was for science class. The reason for this being was because the side teacher of the class saw that nobody was really paying attention to the lesson on the screen so instead of saying a threat of how we will fail or just letting us not pay attention. She instead got everyones attention by eventually making up the phrase “its eleven twenty one!!!” out of nowhere while teaching the lesson but she said it in a goofy way. Eventually that phrase became repeated a-lot in the goofy way of course but it was overused and eventually the teachers got tired of it so they banned it and if you were caught saying it you would lose “class cash”. class cash wasn’t just some way to say “I’m a very good kid and most likely a nerd” no this stuff was used to get small rewards in classrooms, homework passes, school event admittance fees, and also on every Friday if your last class was over you could pay a fee of class cash and enjoy the rest of the 10-25 minutes before dismissal doing free-time activities but if you didn’t have the class cash then those minutes before dismissal were made to feel like prison. You couldn’t talk, draw, read or do anything that would be a fun past time, instead you were forced to do homework or if you already finished it then you had to “study” which absolutely nobody did because who tf is actively studying for such easy classes. Anyways back to earlier though. I said the banned phrase one time in the class and there was a substitute teacher in there who was familiar with the banned phrase so when she heard me she fined me for 200 class cash!!!!! I didn’t say it because i was still on that stupid joke, i said it because it was the actual time and some kid asked me what time it was and i tried to plead with her “miss look it really is 11:21” but she wasn’t having it. I was devastated, with that much of a fine i would go broke and in debt, i wouldn’t be able to buy class snacks or participate in special events and id also end up no longer being able to have fun Fridays because i would be in prison until i could make up my debt and prove i was a good person. Though i had luck on my side because that substitute teacher wasn’t just there for a day, she was there for most of the year because the real science teacher broke her hip a while ago. You may be wondering where the good part comes in and well on a after school day in my cool english teachers class room i ended up talking about my fine and it seemed i wasn’t the only person who got absurdly fined by that substitute teacher, other people did too and talked about the reasons they got fined and with that the English teacher had heard enough and because the substitute wasn’t there for after school the english teacher went into the science room for herself and saw how many people got fined with absurd amounts of money so she took the bin of class cash and gave everyone there their amount of fined money so us kids could pay off the fines. Ima be honest that day the English teacher stopped that madness i felt like i just robbed a bank or something when i got that cash. That teacher was very cool but in terms of the substitute you still are a “upside down pear” as the kids would call you behind your back.

      Same here. In fact, I have one with the entire group of kids that I was in junior high with at my old church, this includes my brother.
      We all went to a missionary trip type thing in a city within my state, where we’d help out a poor church plant or homes/businesses in the area with maintenance, or flood damage during the day. In the evenings and late afternoons, we’d hold a vacation Bible study for the kids in the area.
      Well, while at this VBS we held, one kid goes up to a few of the boys in my church and starts trying to roast them. He goes to tell one in particular that he “smells like poo poo”. Instead, he said that this boy smelled like boo boo.
      Now, whenever I go up to my brother and say that, we both burst out laughing uncontrollably. Fun stuff.

    These are hilarious. Adults tend to overreact to kid behaviors sometimes, though (and underreact to the ones that really matter). Trends die. If an adult makes a fuss over kids using a word too much, it'll just make the kids want to use it more, and as these stories show, kids will find a way to use the word without actually using it. If the teacher just ignores stuff like this (as long as no individuals are actually getting targeted and it's not otherwise exclusionary, like racist language), kids'll get bored and it'll just dissipate on its own.

      True. Although, some of the teachers were justified in banning words because they were actually being used disruptive and annoying ways.
