My cousin’s kindergarten had a really weird rule. At his school each student was assigned a different coloured pencil based on their behavior in class. Kids who were well behaved got green pencils, those who misbehaved sometimes got purple and the really bad kids got blue. This rule was made to let other teachers know which kids are the troublemakers. When he kids found out about the rule, they started acting up in class on purpose so that they could get their favorite colour. These are kindergartners, what were these teachers thinking 🤦♀️
My high school tried to enforce something called “Bell to bell instruction” where basically if a student finished their work early, they would be given more work to do. None of the teachers did this because it was too much extra work for them and the few who did only did so by just giving the students who finished early the same page that they had already completed and told them that they didn’t have to turn it in and could just get on their phones or doodle on the page.
That could very easily lead to the kids having too much work if they couldn’t finish the second sheet in the leftover time. And then you have kids slacking off. Sometimes it’s hard for students to remember that teachers also have to deal with your workload, I guess it’s hard for admin too.
My middle school banned "distracting hair". Most of the kids had no idea what they were even talking about, but over the next few days I started seeing kids with afros and dreadlocks pulled out of class. So "distracting hair" was just black hair. Literally no one complied with the policy and it was removed the next week. It didn't really backfire on the school, but I think it should have.
My Primary School had a rule that says only fiction books are allowed during reading period. Brought an insect encyclopaedia one day when I was 8, got confiscated because it didnt adhere to the policy. Me being quick-witted, I asked the teacher, "Have I not fufiled the purpose of reading period by reading to gain new knowledge?" The teacher said, "Well...yes...but the briefing at the start of the year explicitly stated the instructions for reading period as 'bring a storybook to read', and this isnt a storybook." I said, "Well, that's ridiculous." Mum wrote to the school and got the rule changed to "any book is ok except comics and picture books". That was a lot more reasonable. I'm 15 now and I still tell my friends about that.
Here’s a rule that backfired quickly: Back in year 7 (I go to a British school) the headteacher at the time thought it was a perfect idea to ban GLASSES! Why? I have no clue. In her words, she said that glasses could be used for harming others if you break the glass. Everyone thought it was stupid. However the people who hated it most were the people who needed them, including me. I have 2 major eye problems (which I won’t name as they’re hard to explain but can if anyone wants to know) and this means that I’m registered blind. Luckily they gave us a week’s notice for this rule and I had a doctors appointment the day where this would start to come into play so I avoided the tragedy that happened that day. According to a friend, kids were bumping into things and were finding it very hard to read the board and work. Unfortunately, this rule also applied to the year 6 kids who were visiting the school that day (our school has the year 6s from the main primary school and other nearby primary schools to visit the school to see what it’ll be like when they come to the school in year 7). Don’t worry, this rule didn’t apply to the primary school. The teachers had all of the year 6 kids take their glasses off and put them in a special box in pupil reception, where my friends from the young carers were looking after it as they were in a meeting in the nearby room. Here’s when tragedy struck. I don’t know exactly what happened but unfortunately a boy was having a lot of trouble moving around as he was registered blind like me, and didn’t see a upcoming step. He tripped and fell down the steps that leaded to the gym block, which may I add are made from hard rock. He hit his head and according to some people’s accounts which they got from their younger siblings who were with the kid, he had this crack in his head and was bleeding really badly. He was rushed to hospital and the ban was lifted. The headteacher was fired and was replaced with a old one we had a month prior. I see the kid around the school sometimes and I always make sure to help him on the stairs when I can.
@@eriklagergren7124Interestingly enough, kids get a lenses material for their glasses called polycarbonate. You can't shatter it. This is what it looks like when dumb people are given authority.
So there were problems with theft. One teachers solution? Punish anyone who leaves stuff lying around tempting thieves. This is up their with claiming it's a woman's own fault for getting raped if she dresses provocatively. Yes, there are ways to reduce the likelyhood of being victimized, but no matter what the circumstances: it's the perpatrator, not the victim who's in the wrong.
Assert dominance by telling everyone to leave ALL their belongings in their place. Pens? Leave them all out of the pen case. Wallets? Leave all the change out. Documents? Leave them without a clipboard. There, policy fixed.

My middle school cane up with a rule where you had to walk the halls in a clockwise direction around the school to reduce traffic and get more kids to class on time. Except anyone with a brain would know that means kids who's classes were just right down the hall in the counter-clockwise direction would have to walk around the ENTIRE school to get there making most kids even more late. Needless to say nobody followed the rule after about a week and they officially abolished it about a month later
I had a school with an illegal and dick rule. If you were caught with a phone it would be taken to the office and locked up, You would have to pay a fine to get it back. This fine was based on how much the school felt like making in fines that day, So one day it was 20 bucks then the next day was 50! The school would give you 2 weeks to pay your fine before they would quite literally sell your phone and keep all the money.
I had that 40 hour volunteer hour rule at my school. I didn’t care as I already had done it during junior high. I had documented proof of it, and the teachers confirmed that it counted. About 2 weeks before grad I was asked by my class teacher where my volunteer hours were. Both me and my folks raised absolute hell about that, and to my knowledge the requirement is now gone
I’m glad the requirement is gone, I mean how stupid is it that a place of education can refuse graduation based on how much free labor their students comply to (more specifically lack there of compliance) outside of said place if education!
My school have 48 hours worth of forced labor to pass 12. Im just getting to 12 grade and i already hate that, couldnt do the hours because summer camp its already fulll and some more bs, now i have to see somehow how to do the 48 hours when theres like 30 and possibly more people also trying to do their 2 days forced labor. You should be graded based on how well you do in scjool, not how much of a good slave are you
my schools worse. they literally make it year round (no time limit) and even though you get payed, its only a dollar a week. A. WEEK. and if you dont do it, you also dont graduate. they try to be sly and hide it under the term "career ed" when its not benefitial in the slightest and is just a excuse to get children to do your bidding. theres also literal kindergarteners doing work there too. isnt this illegal?
In elementary, we had the same rule, where you couldn’t touch anyone at all but when we got into third grade, none of the teachers cared, except for one teacher, which everybody hated
@@Evil_Kanye Never understand why teachers do that. I think they want the class to be mad at the kid for holding them back but they’re always just mad at the friggin teacher.
@@DragonMaster1818And btw that this a Warcrime, no joke, you aren't allowed to punish someone innocent because someone else did something wrong, that would be collective punishment and is prohibbited by the geneva convention All of these teachers are doing warcrimes straight up in front of you
Wasn't so much a rule but a program SADD did one day. A student in a Grim Reaper costume would regularly enter a class and take away a student who returned in white face and could not communicate in any way because they were dead - killed by a drunk driver. This happened to a popular cheerleader (with a good sense of humor) in my chemistry class. When she returned I immediately started with, "Hey, you guys remember Kristin? Man school is so much better without her here. But the way she died was weeeeird... I understand that her last words to the friends in the car were, 'Buckle up. I want to try something I saw in a cartoon once,' and then she tried to drive through a tunnel she painted on a wall. She wasn't even drunk! Just dumb... so, so dumb." Teacher was trying not to crack up, and Kristin had to run out of the room to not laugh in front of us. Some of us took to greeting the dead with, It's showtime!" ala Beetlejuice. At the assembly at the end of school the president of SADD started out by pointing out how some people didn't take the program seriously, and a lot of heads turned to not just me but others. But the thing was, the dead were all popular kids who did drink. Us witty people were happy nerds not into that stuff. If you don't want kids to drive drunk, then don't drink. I know that's unrealistic to expect no one to drink, but surely there could be messaging to encourage people or SADD could sponsor events, etc.
@@Davian2073, I assume that these "fake deaths" are, say, "Death" takes a student and tells them they've died by a drunk driver. They give the person some white face paint or whatever and tells them to not talk to people in any way.
school had something similar except they would take like 2 people an hour(i think)because 2 people die of fentanyl poisoning every hour or something also they could still speak
@David2073 A student dressed as the Grim Reaper would come into classes and take away another student who was part of SADD, whose name had been drawn out of a hat. That student would then reappear with white make-up indicating they were dead, and they wouldn't interact with the rest of the class - as much as they possibly could. The girl I mentioned was taken out during a chemistry lab so when she came back, she still had to complete it but remain silent. Another wise guy would pretend to get freaked out whenever she picked up a beaker, claiming it was just floating there. This was to get us to think about whether possibly causing a fellow student's death was worth drinking and driving.
At my school, some new nut job vice principal decided to be a hard@ss and made a rule that if you were late e times within the school year, you automatically got suspended. So, if people found themselves running late, they just skipped the class altogether. That way, they wouldn't get suspended.
My old school (Thank God I found a new one) had a rule against re-stocking the bathroom soap befor the end of the month. Naturally, we all had to go without soap for a while each month, and since 2nd graders will be 2nd graders, someone had to go before lunch. The guy takes such a massive sh*t that he takes one of the turdes out of the toilet, draws on the bathroom wall with it, and puts it in the at the time empty soap container, and the toilet still got clogged(still not sure how). He saw no point in washing his hands due to there being no soap, so the guy just casualy walkes to lunch with a layer of poop on his hands and gets the chicken nuggets, as they were the best option available. But nuggets didn't come with a fork or spoon, so the kid picks one up, rubs the poop off of his hands on it, and throws it at the school bully's face. It lands in his soup, he was turned around at the time, so all he heard was a splash. 5 seconds later the guy spews a combination of soup and poop on the people sitting with him. Largest food fight the school had ever seen (my mashed potato catapult proved a success, but mostly because people were using straws to get soup and spit it at other people within range. Absolutley the best day of that school year, as we got extra recess time during lunch due to it taking them several days to make the cafateria floors "Clean enough for students" again. Turnes out all the soup rotted the floor boards. It costed them thousands to replace it all, and it all could have been avoided by simply not skipping on the soap costs.
@@Mad_Skeletron he went on to be middleschool legend as well, because one day a year the school would have an animal show, and the principal would alwase hold one. He slipped a laxative into the animal's food, and the animal relieved itself on the principals lap. The were never able to prove that he did it due to lack of cameras in the room they kept the animals.
The year after I left high school, I heard that they made it a policy that girlswere not allowed to use the girls room without a teacher present watching them: this was put in place because they found one vape pin in one of the girls bathrooms. The boys bathroom for the past few years has been nothing but vape smoke and vape pens and it’s been very well known that they’ve been vaping, but nothing was done about that. But the second they find a vape pen in the girls restroom girls are not allowed to piss anymore without somebody watching, it was also trying to close your eyes, so no matter how much you pass if you were a trans man this applied and if you were a trans woman this didn’t apply. I should probably clarify that the school has a history of discriminatory rules and discrimination, and how those rules are enforced, for example, there’s no hat rule however, it was only ever enforced on students who weren’t white, meaning, if you’re black, you get suspended for wearing a hat but if you’re white wear whatever the fuck you want, and typically other elements of the dress code, only ever applied to women, men could break the dress code without anybody batting an eye, but the second a girl did she was kicked the fuck out, and us trans kids we’re basically being constantly stopped for breaking dress code for not following gender roles or stopped for changing in the bathrooms instead of in the locker rooms for gym or just wearing our gym clothes to school to avoid changing in the locker rooms that didn’t fit our gender, Long story short the schools very shitty. But after banning girls from using the restroom without being watched people pointed out that this rule was not applied to boys, explicitly so and pointed out that’s not legal, It’s sex based discrimination and a lawsuit was almost filed before they got rid of the rule out of fear, because it turns out there were a lot of lawyers who were parents of those girls and a few extremely rich bitches who were fucking livid (rightfully so) yeah The school was gonna lose all its money in a lawsuit, and the government would have to step in and essentially fire all the staff, including the people in charge and replace them all, and they did not all want to lose their jobs over that
I get you, and feel so bad for you. Gendered bathrooms are already shitty enough to deal with as a trans person, but your school sounds like it makes it so much worse. Glad you don't have to deal with that school anymore!
What really baffles me is the fact that they're Marines. I mean, killing the snake should have been a literal no-brainer since their whole MO is killing stuff. It's like telling a dolphin to jump out of the water when swimming long distances.
@@juanmanuelpenaloza9264They’re marines, not regular army or navy. There’s a reason they’re called “crayon-eaters”, ya gotta be very specific with them, lol
Similar to the YikYak thing, our school sent out an email to not use discord, like at all. If you even mentioned it at my school, the school would take your phone, go into your phone and delete discord from it, it got so stupid that they confiscated a computer (that never even entered the school to begin with) because it had discord on it.
At my old school, if you got detention or ISS, you weren't allowed to eat lunch, but your family would still have to pay for it. And you had to do work all day. But the thing is is that all that work, no matter how good you do, is an automatic 0. So your GPA would drop significantly. That school is still up and running today.
All throughout middle school, cell phone use was prohibited during school hours, field trips and after-school clubs being the only exceptions. No using them during class (unless the teacher lets you, which was rare), passing period, or even lunch. Of course, almost no one followed this rule as most students would just hide their phones behind Chromebooks, books, under desks, or the menaces that wouldn't even try to hide it. Personally, I never had a problem with this rule, sure, I hid stuff behind books we read in class, but all I was hiding was the book I was actually willing to read, the manga I got from the library!
this is why i have parents sign that i can confiscate phone. if they dont agree i give the kids detention, one day for first violation, a week for second, a month for the third. i will drop all the detention if the parents sign the wavier. Now kids lose there phone walking in to class. also if caught with it on a test is a instent F
As for Story #1, does anyone wanna explain to me why they couldn't simply arrest the bastard selling the liquor? How is that even remotely complicated?

@@XflezeRBLXXfleze My teacher was indeed mad but she respected it and made a deal with the principle and summer break ended up being a month early. The whole school was surprisingly cool with it
people kept skipping class in the bathrooms so my school put locks on bathrooms so you need a keycard to get in so if u ask a teacher they give u a keycard to go to the bathroom but that keycard could also open every lock in the school so kids could just leave school with the card at a back gate go to town get kfc or something and come back to school they had to ban going to the bathrooms for 2 weeks then the new key cards could only open the bathrooms but for maybe a 2 months kids could leave school when they felt like it.
@@oliveromarsson4189true, but ig it stops students from just going home whenever they feel like it. Although for some reason you can just walk out of mine bc the main entrance just needs you to accidentally brush past button and it opens
Your school is preventing you from leaving? this has to be some form of unlawful imprisonment AND a security violation. in case of a fire are you just supposed to wait until someone with a card arrives? what if someone gets separated during the panic and ends up alone at a closed entrance? wtf?!?
@@peterhacke6317The fire alarm is tied into the maglocks fir the doors so that they'll not only all unlock, but doorst that are open will automatically close to help prevent fire from spreading. The new systems even have panic modes that close and lock every door to prevent assailants from being able to move freely through the school.
My school had a rule where you weren't allowed to stand up during lunch, my friend got a reffurl because he was just throwing away the trash. The school made that rule because they wanted less food on the floor, but there were still kids that would throw food for some reason, then after 2 weeks the rule was forgotten so we could throw our trash away without waiting till the end of lunch to wait for a staff with a trash can would make you throw away trash. Be sure to remember that school I am in is one of the worst for not understanding students with mental disabilitys and that their ignorant💀
For the first story: my school turned off the drinking fountains my junior year due to Covid. Of course it was only the fountain part, my school’s fountains also had water bottles filling stations and those were left alone. My solution was to drink from the sink when I was sent to the bathroom to cool off as I’d overheat frequently in the masks.
There's a rule in our university that is *still under approval* but everyone, even teachers, are praying for it's rejection. So basically, we're in a really hot town/city and at school, only the rooms were air-conditioned. However, everyone wants to hang out with friends and stuff on campus grounds, and outside the classrooms, yk, highschool stuff. It's either you have to bring a heavy ass tumbler or a handfan. Outside the campus, right next door, plenty of "sari-sari" stores (we are in the Phillippines) sold home cooked meals and iced drinks. We loved them, best stuff I've had. The rule here is that *we can no longer go out of the campus during lunchtime* . It's actually a double L in my opinion since those vendors and store owners are doing that for their living and the canteen prices are always sky-high and it's really cramped/hot in there. Hoping this rule gets denied, people's livelihoods are on the line.
Going off the assumption that “university” means the same thing in the Philippines as it does in the States, it’s non of their F*cking business. You’re paying for it, you can do what you want
@@ntfoperative9432 Yeah it seems like it got denied thank God, have been able to go out for the best milk tea I've had in my life every day, hope it stays that way since it's November, when they proposed that rule take effect
My food tech teacher made a rule where you can’t say “snitches get stitches” so our class walks in, asks if we’re on practical and if not then about 6 people will yell it until sent out
My school (middle school) has a rule where you can’t go to your locker during free period. Like why??? Also 6th graders are allowed to go outside during free period, but 7th and 8th grade can’t. Like we literally don’t get any fresh air for the 7 hours we’re in school…
at my school, all the hallways are outdoors, the only problem is its in SOUTH FLORIDA and they banned shorts when i was in 7th grade. it doesnt help that im the kid who always wears sweaters because i HATE the feeling of not wearing one :(
Our school tried to make a rule that you need to be ESCORTED to the bathroom. They stopped doing that when they realized how stupid it was to make kids wait for an escort just to go piss.
My school also has a 40 hour community service, with bad schools around it. They expel students with failing grades and send them to one of the bad schools just to say they have a 100% graduation rate
When I was in elementary, specifically 5th grade, we had really one rule, no running indoors. Since wer were all 9-10 we not only ignored it, but encouraged it via dares and races. While in one of these races my ankle hit a corner and twisted, nearly breaking. I wasn't there for a week and a half but when I got back they made the wall edges rounded and the rule was gone.
For those wondering how people were able to survive at all in the "95" degree weather, remember that's in Fahrenheit, which equates to 35 degrees Celsius. EDIT:For context, I live in the Columbia Basin, a bowl-shaped valley in Washington state, the furthest north and west state in the contiguous United States. Here, the temperature has been known to spike as high as 110f/40c in late July or early August.
Once when I was in middle school the AC broke and we were all stuck in 90 degree weather (Fahrenheit). I don’t think anyone learned anything that day. Only bright side was that a teacher brought us all ice cream. I still think we should’ve just been sent home.
@@Ariaofeffect That is definitely not true for all of the EU. Maybe some parts of scandinavia. 30°C outdoor is a sligtly warm summer day in central europe and even more normal for the southern regions.
My high school also had the ban on the Co-ed Naked and Big Johnson shirts. We simply pointed out that the meaning is only dirty if you choose to see it that way, so what exactly were they thinking?
I once worked as a bus driver and our union stupidly accepted an offer of an increase in our hourly rate but, in return we'd only be paid for the time we're actually "in service" (ie actually driving the bus on route). This backfired on management in so many ways. If we were late signing in, they'd deduct our pay, but since we weren't being payed, we'd deliberately hang around to go out later, but while we're in the office, they'd increase the deduction because we're now later still so we'd end up in the endless cycle that resulting in us not working at all that day. If we were in service and running late due to weight of passengers, they'd ask us to stop picking up passengers and just get back on time, but we'd refuse because when we did that, they'd be deducting pay from us. If we arrived at our terminus point late, then we'd deliberately leave late for the return journey because if we're not being paid for the 10 minutes between trips, then we're darned well not going to cut our 10 minute break short. We're due that 10 minute break so we're going to have a 10 minute break. There were so many disciplinary actions for drivers "deliberately running late" or "refusing to take orders from a controller" that it all got way out of hand. The manager was no longer able to carry out his regular duties as he was too busy hearing all these disciplinary disputes. I left in the middle of all this kerfuffle so I don't know how (or if) it ever got resolved.
In my elementary back then. We forces to buy a soup even we don't want the soup, if we don't want, every teacher have different punishment like calling your parents, standing in back of the class, and etc.
so in 5th grade we got this rule that if you ran in lunch time or any other time. If you were caught running, they would push you and take you to the office to stop you. I was running as a normal 10 year old and all of a sudden, i fall into a pillar and break my ankle. Thanks so much Amanda, that hospital bill costed a third of my mom's salary and we almost ran out of food because of that.
Last year in 7th grade my school had a rule you got suspended if you bring fast food too school, while everyone just about everyone just hid it in their lunch but on the last day of school everyone in my lunch period brought fast food. There were 8 classes with 27 to 32 kids in each class. The next year that wasn’t a rule any more.
My school had a really strange rule (secondary school in the UK) where you weren't allowed to leave the school grounds during morning break and lunch time. It was really stupid because a number of kids lived local enough that they could head on home, grab something to eat for lunch and be back in time for the next lessons or pick up PE kit because PE was generally after lunch. Pretty much everyone broke it and it didn't last long. A number of parents complained about it because it also impacted things like a doctors appointment and the rule was only instituted because 3 proper trouble makers were basically up to no good, but it wasn't just during lunch time and such because they'd go skive off half the time, those 3 were later expelled anyway because so it was a pointless rule to begin with because have the shit that happened to create the rule happened during class times.
Y’all are allowed to leave the school building? And get a break that allows you to do so? I’m American, we can’t leave the building and don’t get a break period.
I used to work at a hospital that had something called PETAL forms stood for PErsonal Time Activity Log. You had to fill out a form whenever you weren't scheduled with everything you did on your day off. This was instituted because the hospital didn't want employees doing anything to ruin the hospitals reputation on their day off. These forms had to be approved by management and HR and only "Company approved activities" were allowed under penalty of termination. So they'd hand out stacks of them so you wouldn't have to make trips to the HR office every week and could just keep the extras at home to bring back on your next shift.. Nobody filled them out, and as a result hospital administration was pissed. so in response the hospital fired 10 people the first day after they were instituted. Of course repercussions and a major lawsuit followed. We as workers lost, (courts always rule in favor of the business, and a lot of us were convinced the judge knew the owner of the hospital) but the PETAL forms were gone after like a week when whole departments starting quitting on the spot
Senior year of high school, i was doing mandated Work Experience at junior campus (Dual Catholic) as a thank you to them. The LSP program was in the janitors old house bqcking up on it. I saw the Down Syndrome kid packing up that day on the other side of the door and teachers assistant comes past angry and talks to me instead asking if i was OK at work as the area safety officer. Turns out that the teacher threw a tantrum at him, breaking the rules regarding ISP
First story. Did no one notice no water fountains during the renovation inspections? Someone from the school board or a building inspector? The construction foreman? How bad do you have to be at your job to not notice you walled up dozens of pipe outlets that should have extended out of the walls or the pile of water fountains that still needed to be put in? And no one had the bright idea to just install them. It's not like they have to take down whole walls. Just cut the holes where the fountains should have gone to begin with. Or have someone fall on their sword and admit there was no plan to provide water.
I had a card flipping thing in elementary school, it each students name is on it and it goes from green, yellow, orange, and Red. How this works is if you were good all day you’ll still be in green If you do something bad like forget your gym clothes you’ll get a yellow card, that usually results in a warning. If you get an orange, like for example push someone accidentally without even noticing that usually results in bit of a time out and a phone call to your parents. But if you get red, like if your fighting a bully at recess and the teacher catches you swinging first you’ll be dragged back to class or the principals office and you won’t participate in any class activities and you’ll get a phone call to your parents on how your kid has been bad all day. The problem with this is that you can get In trouble for something like forgetting your gym clothes. And this has lead into teachers having favouritism to certain students as they don’t get in trouble for anything and the “problem” child would always get singled out by not only students but teachers, even when they weren’t involved. This was later removed due to parents being annoyed that they’re being called for dumb things like forgetting gym clothes and parent concerns about teachers giving the good kids special treatment. And I forgot to mention if you got a lot of greens you’ll get a prize from the start of the class to the end (usually in June), there’s usually a goodies bag of like yo-yo’s, a bouncy ball and or hot wheels car and a pencil that changes colour if you put heat onto it, but if you’ve got more orange or red you’ll get nothing.
My good story comes from high school (mid 2000s) We had a science teacher decide to allow a single 3x5 card with notes during tests. I am a tech guy and I decided to use the absolute smallest font size possible in ms word. I had the ENTIRE study guide printed on a single side of a 3x5 card and started acing the class. I was able to squint and see all the text but once everyone else figured this out they started doing it or asking me to make copies of mine and others started bringing in magnifiers and the teacher finally caught on and stopped us from using 3x5 cards ever again. Ugh
I did that in college for stats. We were allowed a 3x5 to write formulas and such for the exams. It was before computers were such a big thing, I'd say maybe '93 or so. I was able to get one of those fine point pens and wrote very small and it worked well.
16:50 all throughout my elementary school, Tag wasn't allowed, i think because when some kid tagged someone, they tripped. As you'd expect, none of the teachers really cared, nor did the principle, but they did start cracking down around 3rd grade.
My school had a ''One way System'' in which you were only allowed to walk one way in the main corridor. This ended up with multiple students being late for classes and chaotic rushes to the canteen when the break and or lunch bells rang. Students hated the system and i overheard some planning a petition to stop it, Thankfully, the school held a vote for/against the one way system and we all voted against it, and the rule was removed.
My school was really strict. It had uniforms, lots of rules, and really annoying levels of punishment for those rules. They made a rule that banned "toys" from school. Now, I could see how this would be reasonable, maybe if they weren't allowed out of backpacks while in the school building, but no. They weren't allowed at recess. Keep in mind, our playground was a parking lot; very boring, as all the athletic kids would always get to the equipment first, leaving nothing to do for everyone else. So, my friend and I decided to sneak 45 Beanie Boos out to recess. We succeeded, and the best part was, we walked right past the principal with all of the toys hidden in binders, lunchboxes, etc. Nobody noticed except for the kids. It was awesome. Of course, the school didn't change the rule, but I did manage to get around it again by clipping a bunch of little TY Beanie Boos to a pair of colorful socks for "crazy sock day". I kind of miss that place, but honestly, not really.
I've got a question about story 23. Is it unusual for schools to have only one entrance/exit, that you have to identify yourself at and sign in to the building? That's SOP in England. You can't risk some p**do just wandering in the school grounds and doing whatever they want. Or a parent kidnapping their kid during some custody-agreement problems. Or kids leaving school and getting themselves hurt or run over or something. And if people can wander in and out whenever, how would firemen know if the building was clear or if they should send in people for a rescue mission? During school hours, teachers are in loco parentis, ie legally responsible for the minors in their care. You'd think, in a county that sues as much as it does, they'd have a stricter policy about the safety of the students.
Well, my school has multiple exits, however they all either need teacher cards to open from outside or can only be used as exits. Only teachers access doors during school hours though, and only one door is used for parent or stranger access in general.
Depends. My elementary and middle schools had basicallymany open doors, but after the increase in school shootings, all of the doors were upgraded to require a keycard (I was in high school). We were a small town so I'm guessing it was government-mandated/funded. There was never once a mention of p*dos or crazy family members, only school shooters (again, small town, everybody knew each other and we were all pretty safe). So basically, it didn't use to be standard, but it is now.
@@breakingthechains38 I'm a city-kid from England so school shooters aren't a thing I worry about, but stranger danger is always a big thing here. Which is bad really, 'coz you're more likely to be assaulted by someone you know. IDK what it's like out in the counrtyside here. Smaller communities would have less of a need for increased security, I guess.
My school has a bunch of signs about how teachers are armed (true) and stuff to ward off people, then a heavy duty door, then a sign in thing, then another heavy duty door, then the armed staff (there is blue boxes with pepper spray guns, only some staff actually have a gun on them), then a door stop stick thing to each classroom if we are in lockdown. I think I’m safe 😅
Here’s one from my school: So basically my school wanted for us not to call others gay, because we had a gay student at our school. We only called our homies gay cuz they said some “odd” stuff. So the school banned saying gay and we were all left thinking on what to call our bros. We couldn’t say “Sus” because, let’s face it, 5 year olds say that. So we just called each other not straight. Fast forward to next year and we get a shit ton of new students, and lemme say they were EXTREMELY brave. 2 of them got all their friends, and made a whole ass plan to tell the principal that we wanted to call each other gay. After school, we all went into the principals office and the 2 students Literally yelled at him, "WE WANNA SAY GAY" after that they got detentions and the principal quit. Honestly I wouldn't have gone through all that to call our homies gay. Me and their friends were just standing there praying he didn't give a shit about us. We got a new principal and we were able to call each other gay again. but at what fucking cost
Guys.... I have come back from the ER after ignoring the presentation about the dangers of grilled cheese sandwiches. It just.. fought back! Then the smoke detector. Then the ER
We couldnt roll up our skirts. I trans, so i wore them. However, some girls painted their legs as rolled down tartan skirts, and no one noticed that they were wearing trousers.
Prior to summer break of 2023, my school decided that before “summer break” that backpacks would be banned which really meant that my stress levels went up tenfold and I hope it doesn’t get repeated ever again at my school.
My high school's boys bathroom reeked of cigarettes, so I never went to the bathroom. They tried to enforce a no smoking rule, but it just made smoking cooler. 😅
Right after I graduated high school (2010), my high school implemented a policy where people were required to tuck in their shirts and wear belts. In the two years prior, there was talk about school uniforms and while that didn't happen, they came up with this. To me, it was a loophole that I saw coming. Idk when they got rid of it, but it's been gone for several years. I found out that there was a lot of bullying going on because it accentuated different parts of the kids' bodies in different ways. The teachers saw this and asked for that rule to be changed.
Bruh, Story 17 I understand. In Singapore, when you get to Grade 9-12 you have to do at least 25 hours of community service which increases each year in order to pass your final exams.
@GipsyDangerfan no like in grade 9 it was like 15 then in grade 10 its like 20hrs, in grade 11 i think its like 25 and grade 12 also 25(im in grade 10 btw so idk rly)
The school had this rule for ONE day but at the time I was in fourth grade with a permanent substitute because my teacher was on maternity leave. We go to lunch which is one of two breaks we have during the day, the cafeteria workers yell at us that we can’t talk during lunch anymore. Then our permanent sub wrote a 6 paragraph long essay on facebook about how it made us very talkative the rest of the day
In my school if you got a detention you would clean up spills pick up trash etc. But all this was out front with no fence so tons of kids would run home and tell there parents school got off early.
In my school they banned edging in class, the entire school was in uproar and even held a vote to see if they should allow edging to happen again, after a solid 3 days the principal got rid of the ban on edging. It didn't affect me tho, I kept all my school related stuff and bookmarks on chrome.
In my middle school I was in the last month of 8th grade and we were all wanting the dress code to be lifted but the teachers said we had to follow the current rules to get that goal so 5 kids show up to school(they were 8th graders) and they were told to call home but the students retaliated and the principal implemented an all jacket ban to all the 8th graders! you couldn’t even wear a school jacket! we started wearing long sleeve shirts under our polo shirts and if we got to hot we could just go into the bathroom and change. We asked if we could get the rule lifted but the teachers said that we were using loopholes but only because we had corporal punishment which is unfair! eventually on the last week of school the ban was lifted but the story doesn’t stop here! On the last day of school we had two kids who brought in silly string and sprayed it at our english teacher and the teacher was laughing about it but the principal decided to punish the whole grade and said that we all had to be put on lockdown for the rest of the day this wasn’t the first lockdown we had (last year us 7th graders were put on lockdown because of a fight that somehow ended up turning into a rumor about a school shooter and everybody RAN across the hallways trying to get to classrooms i was running too but i wasn’t screaming eventually the teachers turned into prison mode and put us on lockdown for 2 weeks!) so we were thinking about protesting but the principal said that if we did we would be expelled and she would call the high school we were going to be expelled and keep us home for half a semester! so if you were wondering where i went to school this was a middle school in nashville tennessee mnps school district
16:30 Have to commend the principal for sticking to his own policy and putting a positive spin on it. It was a good policy, good that he kept it instead of removing the policy because it inconvenienced him.
My school implemented kiosks for students to write their own late notes for teachers. No one took it seriously and would write insane excuses. School took them out after a month.
At my middle school the Vice principal said not to say the n word now everyone does and the one black dude in my grade gets called to the office every day since he gives out too many passess
My school banned matball (a game kinda like kickball) because one kid tripped and broke his arm, but they still allowed actual kickball which was basically the same thing, if not more dangerous than matball.
my school has this stupid rule called the "20-20 rule" where you can't exit the classroom in the fiirst or last 20 minutes of class.cit was to cut down on vaping and students skipping class. it's still in affect and it's stupid
Not really a rule, but one year, my school did a thing where they'd play music over the intercom and any student could go to the office to change it. The problem was that no one was told the second part, so we had to listen to Sexyback on loop for the entire year.
Basically my entire school dress code has been forgotten, we basically can wear anything as long as it’s not too revealing, however, we aren’t allowed to have hoods still and boots, we can wear boots in school, bc “it will track snow through the school” snow will melt, and it’s a floor! So almost my entire class wore boots for abt a week (in the winter) and it got removed, for a year, it’s back tho (idk if this counts)
on that no homework story i would have done really well as i didnt like doing homework but my test grades were good my overall grades only suffered due to homework dragging it down. it always amazed my fellow classmates and some teachers that i did so well in class why? i was the kid that often slept in classes. my trick was i read the text books when i was made to wake up and that and what bits i listened to let me keep the info needed to pass tests
my school had 2, and one was made just yesterday. so, the first one: in junior high, my choir teacher banned water in her class for no reason. most days, people would leave her class very dehydrated, since it was an hour and at the beginning of the day. one kid came into class, and he hadn't drank any water for about a day at this point. long story short, he passed out, and we made a petition called "water for will," and when everyone in the whole school signed it we got the rule changed to being allowed to have water, although the choir teacher still gets mad if you drink it- 2nd: just yesterday (still in junior high), we were told we could not hit each other with these blue foam blocks, but we COULD fence with them. sadly for the teachers, i have fencing knowledge, and there's a style of fencing, called sabre, where you can hit people with the side of the blade. people fought with those all day yesterday-
My principal had something against me (I’m special needs and need music to focus) so he proceeded to ban UA-cam and spotify that is until the teachers couldn’t teach so he lifted the ban
5:56 sounds like the school took a massive w there. They got to enforce their policy without backlash and could sell t-shirts without parent complaint.
My best friends school doesnt allow devices. Like, none, whatsoever, except MAYBE if the child REQUIRES it due to a health issue or is extremely special needs, which is unlikely, as its strict, and catholic af. Also they have to get a FRIKKIN BATHROOM PASS- HELP- no, not a hall pass. They need a pass to do their business. Throw in that they pet a kid who puked earlier that day attend classes, potentially spreading the illness. Sfratch that, its most likely.
We had a principal that was a complete tyrant. He made a rule that the men had to have a belt on their pants or they would have to go home. My senior year we all (class of about 300) decided that we would have the same phraise on our pants (senior chords) that said "the hell with belts" and it was his rule that made this safe because he had said that if the pants had no place for a belt, we didn't have to wear one. He saw these pants and got all bent but it was worth it. We all wore the "senior chords" on Friday but most of us had pants without belts for the rest of the week. We loved to piss him off and did when ever we could.
I suddenly remember an episode of the old show, "Recess", where kids at the school weren't allowed to say the word 'Whomps' (as in if something bad happens, a character would state 'This whomps.') The kids thought this was outrageous as the word was one they made up, but the faculty treated it like a cuss. The kids fought back by using the word in any way they could, and eventually reached a point where they were taken to court! The verdict? The judge busted out laughing bc he thought it was a funny word, and several other adults in the room saw no harm nor vulgarity in it. "Whoever thinks the word is dirty obviously has a dirty mind themselves!" The judge quoted, and the case was dropped.
in middle school had a weird rule where is the bathrooms were messy enough every grade of that gender was banned from the restroom for month's. depressing thing is my friend had a unresponsive balder that made him not know when he needed to go so he had to leave class in intervals but the ban still happened for him so his mom yelled to the school and he didn't have to follow the rule after that.
Here’s a story that happend at my school So the school was having a problem with kids drawing on the walls in the bathroom so they banned pencils crayons and sharpies and markers so everyone was pissed about it so some kid started selling pencils and markers at recess for like 2.00$ so that kid earned like 50$
One thing at my school that backfired was if we brought a snack it had to be healthy but the kids brought real snacks and the teacher didn’t do anything
A stupid rule that backfired wasn't for the entire school, but just my kindergarten class because my teacher wanted us to be "efficient" as she would say to us every single morning. So basically, everytime when we were done doing something, we would have to put ALL our stuff away back in our desk in 10 seconds, and if we didn't, we would have to move our clip down on the color thing that you all probably remember when you were young. And if we got to red we would get detention, yes detention, which was another stupid rule and it applied for all kindergarteners, but it was only for like 15 minutes and would miss recess. The worst part is was that my kindergarten class was pretty chill unlike the normal snot nosed brats you would think of, and yet we would get in trouble because we didn't put our stuff away quickly? And you would also get in trouble if you didn't take your stuff out to get ready for an Activity in 10 seconds. All the parents complained to the teacher but she just ignored them, and even when they complained to the school, the school did nothing. So parents did what any other group of angry parents would do, they all got them and their kids together, and they told us that evey time we had to take or put our stuff away or out, we would be really slow on purpose. And the school wasn't happy that the best behaving class was getting detention every day. The principal had enough and went to our class one day to talk to us. We all explained to the principal about the rule and once we were done explaining, the principal at the point had enough and shouted at the teacher while the whole class was giggling with each other. The teacher immediately removed the rule and we became her least favorite class, but we didn't care, because we got revenge. I didn't think much about this rule at first, but now I think that it was just so stupid and that my teacher wasn't a good teacher, and remember, we were kindergarteners! I don't know what she was thinking, but she must of been on crack.
My elementary school banned tag, running, red rover, pokemon, cartwheels/tumbling, digging in the woodchips, four square, you name it for recess. And then wondered why the kids were restless and didn't know how to entertain themselves when bored
The story on the safety presentation was wonderful. That kid deserved a standing ovation just for his creativity in how he handled it. Also, that R.A. needs some serious psychatric help. The story about the parking passes only applies to schools in big cities. In the small rural towns, like where I live, they have enough busses. The story about the marine was awesome. It's also a proof as to why the military has so many rules.
Head mistress stood up in front of the school and made a new rule. No calling people “gay” unless they were actually gay, because they can “be what they want”. We were in year 6 (all aged 10-11) and people were already coming out as pan or lesbian or bi or gay. Crazy. But, the kids, well, they used the teacher’s own words against her. Suddenly, all the white kids started identifying as gay, black women and beating the sh*t out of each other on the playground. Obviously, they didn’t actually identify as that, so it was a joke, but it was hilarious. This kid invited me, the fat white kid, to become black so I could be faster 😂😂. It was just a way to offend each other by using “gay” as an insult and fight over it without getting in trouble, and it was just absolute chaos with the upper years after the rule was dropped.
my job has a rule where if an employee is sick, they have to find their own replacement. They aren't actually legally able to do this, so most employees don't care. this means that the employees don't look for replacements, and the employer doesn't look for replacements, so the shift the employee was on just ends up understaffed
The dumbest rule at school would probably be no hats. It was literally minus 30 and I naturally came to school with a beanie. My teacher took it away and told me to go play in the cold with my face exposed. Naturally, I got pneumonia and nearly died from it twice. My teacher even told me it was my mother’s fault for not buying me a jacket with an insulated hood.
I remember rocks in the snowballs. I was never part of that crowd, but we had pea gravel at my elementary school. When it was just frozen, there would be clumps and single layer sheets of pea gravel rocks stuck together. I knew the boys who would throw them at eachother. 9 times out of 10, the ice-glued clump if rocks would shatter from the force of being thrown, so the "assailant" just flings pea gravel at their friend, which actually rarely ever made contact with anyone. If a clump could withstand the force of being thrown, it would seemingly melt into you and the individual peas of gravel would clatter all to the ground. I enjoyed picking the clumps up to drop them from as high as I could get

My cousin’s kindergarten had a really weird rule. At his school each student was assigned a different coloured pencil based on their behavior in class. Kids who were well behaved got green pencils, those who misbehaved sometimes got purple and the really bad kids got blue. This rule was made to let other teachers know which kids are the troublemakers. When he kids found out about the rule, they started acting up in class on purpose so that they could get their favorite colour. These are kindergartners, what were these teachers thinking 🤦♀️
Who made blue for bad that’s everybody’s favorite color they should have made it orange

My high school tried to enforce something called “Bell to bell instruction” where basically if a student finished their work early, they would be given more work to do. None of the teachers did this because it was too much extra work for them and the few who did only did so by just giving the students who finished early the same page that they had already completed and told them that they didn’t have to turn it in and could just get on their phones or doodle on the page.
Im saying its hard enough for teachers to make lesson plans
Now making them work a full period? Impossible
This is just the smart kid in a british school experience
That's essentially being punished for good performance. There is no better way to make an entire population perform at a mediocre level.
That could very easily lead to the kids having too much work if they couldn’t finish the second sheet in the leftover time. And then you have kids slacking off.
Sometimes it’s hard for students to remember that teachers also have to deal with your workload, I guess it’s hard for admin too.
@@siximpossiblethings6388 ikr if I were the student I would just… write… slowly…
My middle school banned "distracting hair". Most of the kids had no idea what they were even talking about, but over the next few days I started seeing kids with afros and dreadlocks pulled out of class. So "distracting hair" was just black hair. Literally no one complied with the policy and it was removed the next week. It didn't really backfire on the school, but I think it should have.
Yeah that's disgusting, bloody racists
No wonder a racist rule never pleased anyone

My Primary School had a rule that says only fiction books are allowed during reading period. Brought an insect encyclopaedia one day when I was 8, got confiscated because it didnt adhere to the policy. Me being quick-witted, I asked the teacher, "Have I not fufiled the purpose of reading period by reading to gain new knowledge?" The teacher said, "Well...yes...but the briefing at the start of the year explicitly stated the instructions for reading period as 'bring a storybook to read', and this isnt a storybook." I said, "Well, that's ridiculous." Mum wrote to the school and got the rule changed to "any book is ok except comics and picture books". That was a lot more reasonable. I'm 15 now and I still tell my friends about that.
Good
As a nerd, that rule hurts
That rule hurts. If that happened at my school, no one would even follow it. It would be gone in 3 days.
if this rule was in my school, most of my classmates would probably bring nonfiction books on purpose.
@@rosydevils3390That would be a great way to make the students try new genres. Imagine if a school put that in as a 4D chess move.
Here’s a rule that backfired quickly:
Back in year 7 (I go to a British school) the headteacher at the time thought it was a perfect idea to ban GLASSES! Why? I have no clue. In her words, she said that glasses could be used for harming others if you break the glass. Everyone thought it was stupid. However the people who hated it most were the people who needed them, including me. I have 2 major eye problems (which I won’t name as they’re hard to explain but can if anyone wants to know) and this means that I’m registered blind. Luckily they gave us a week’s notice for this rule and I had a doctors appointment the day where this would start to come into play so I avoided the tragedy that happened that day. According to a friend, kids were bumping into things and were finding it very hard to read the board and work. Unfortunately, this rule also applied to the year 6 kids who were visiting the school that day (our school has the year 6s from the main primary school and other nearby primary schools to visit the school to see what it’ll be like when they come to the school in year 7). Don’t worry, this rule didn’t apply to the primary school. The teachers had all of the year 6 kids take their glasses off and put them in a special box in pupil reception, where my friends from the young carers were looking after it as they were in a meeting in the nearby room. Here’s when tragedy struck. I don’t know exactly what happened but unfortunately a boy was having a lot of trouble moving around as he was registered blind like me, and didn’t see a upcoming step. He tripped and fell down the steps that leaded to the gym block, which may I add are made from hard rock. He hit his head and according to some people’s accounts which they got from their younger siblings who were with the kid, he had this crack in his head and was bleeding really badly. He was rushed to hospital and the ban was lifted. The headteacher was fired and was replaced with a old one we had a month prior. I see the kid around the school sometimes and I always make sure to help him on the stairs when I can.
WHAT THE HECK WAS SHE THINKING DOING THAT? DID SHE JUST IGNORE THE FACT THAT GLASSES ARE USED TO *PREVENT* THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPENING? How stupid!
What an idiot. Hope she had her Teaching license revoked for reckless endangerment/negligence.

I'd only feel safe if that "teacher" is behind bars. They're clearly not alright in the head

My middle school cane up with a rule where you had to walk the halls in a clockwise direction around the school to reduce traffic and get more kids to class on time. Except anyone with a brain would know that means kids who's classes were just right down the hall in the counter-clockwise direction would have to walk around the ENTIRE school to get there making most kids even more late. Needless to say nobody followed the rule after about a week and they officially abolished it about a month later

If you were caught with a phone it would be taken to the office and locked up, You would have to pay a fine to get it back. This fine was based on how much the school felt like making in fines that day, So one day it was 20 bucks then the next day was 50!

I had that 40 hour volunteer hour rule at my school. I didn’t care as I already had done it during junior high. I had documented proof of it, and the teachers confirmed that it counted.
About 2 weeks before grad I was asked by my class teacher where my volunteer hours were. Both me and my folks raised absolute hell about that, and to my knowledge the requirement is now gone
I’m glad the requirement is gone, I mean how stupid is it that a place of education can refuse graduation based on how much free labor their students comply to (more specifically lack there of compliance) outside of said place if education!
My school have 48 hours worth of forced labor to pass 12. Im just getting to 12 grade and i already hate that, couldnt do the hours because summer camp its already fulll and some more bs, now i have to see somehow how to do the 48 hours when theres like 30 and possibly more people also trying to do their 2 days forced labor. You should be graded based on how well you do in scjool, not how much of a good slave are you
i just graduated a few years ago and they required around 70 volunteer hours, but it likely differs district to district and state to state
40 hours? It was 100 minimum at my high-school and I graduated 3 years ago!
my schools worse. they literally make it year round (no time limit) and even though you get payed, its only a dollar a week. A. WEEK.
and if you dont do it, you also dont graduate. they try to be sly and hide it under the term "career ed" when its not benefitial in the slightest and is just a excuse to get children to do your bidding.
theres also literal kindergarteners doing work there too. isnt this illegal?
In elementary, we had the same rule, where you couldn’t touch anyone at all but when we got into third grade, none of the teachers cared, except for one teacher, which everybody hated

Wasn't so much a rule but a program SADD did one day. A student in a Grim Reaper costume would regularly enter a class and take away a student who returned in white face and could not communicate in any way because they were dead - killed by a drunk driver. This happened to a popular cheerleader (with a good sense of humor) in my chemistry class. When she returned I immediately started with, "Hey, you guys remember Kristin? Man school is so much better without her here. But the way she died was weeeeird... I understand that her last words to the friends in the car were, 'Buckle up. I want to try something I saw in a cartoon once,' and then she tried to drive through a tunnel she painted on a wall. She wasn't even drunk! Just dumb... so, so dumb." Teacher was trying not to crack up, and Kristin had to run out of the room to not laugh in front of us. Some of us took to greeting the dead with, It's showtime!" ala Beetlejuice. At the assembly at the end of school the president of SADD started out by pointing out how some people didn't take the program seriously, and a lot of heads turned to not just me but others. But the thing was, the dead were all popular kids who did drink. Us witty people were happy nerds not into that stuff. If you don't want kids to drive drunk, then don't drink. I know that's unrealistic to expect no one to drink, but surely there could be messaging to encourage people or SADD could sponsor events, etc.
Fake deaths? Can you explain more?
Ooh I want that to happen in my school!!!
@@Davian2073, I assume that these "fake deaths" are, say, "Death" takes a student and tells them they've died by a drunk driver. They give the person some white face paint or whatever and tells them to not talk to people in any way.
school had something similar except they would take like 2 people an hour(i think)because 2 people die of fentanyl poisoning every hour or something
also they could still speak
@David2073 A student dressed as the Grim Reaper would come into classes and take away another student who was part of SADD, whose name had been drawn out of a hat. That student would then reappear with white make-up indicating they were dead, and they wouldn't interact with the rest of the class - as much as they possibly could. The girl I mentioned was taken out during a chemistry lab so when she came back, she still had to complete it but remain silent. Another wise guy would pretend to get freaked out whenever she picked up a beaker, claiming it was just floating there. This was to get us to think about whether possibly causing a fellow student's death was worth drinking and driving.
At my school, some new nut job vice principal decided to be a hard@ss and made a rule that if you were late e times within the school year, you automatically got suspended. So, if people found themselves running late, they just skipped the class altogether. That way, they wouldn't get suspended.
It's no wonder why school systems and education are declining.
THAT RULE IS IN MY SCHOOL TOO.
My old school (Thank God I found a new one) had a rule against re-stocking the bathroom soap befor the end of the month. Naturally, we all had to go without soap for a while each month, and since 2nd graders will be 2nd graders, someone had to go before lunch. The guy takes such a massive sh*t that he takes one of the turdes out of the toilet, draws on the bathroom wall with it, and puts it in the at the time empty soap container, and the toilet still got clogged(still not sure how). He saw no point in washing his hands due to there being no soap, so the guy just casualy walkes to lunch with a layer of poop on his hands and gets the chicken nuggets, as they were the best option available. But nuggets didn't come with a fork or spoon, so the kid picks one up, rubs the poop off of his hands on it, and throws it at the school bully's face. It lands in his soup, he was turned around at the time, so all he heard was a splash. 5 seconds later the guy spews a combination of soup and poop on the people sitting with him. Largest food fight the school had ever seen (my mashed potato catapult proved a success, but mostly because people were using straws to get soup and spit it at other people within range. Absolutley the best day of that school year, as we got extra recess time during lunch due to it taking them several days to make the cafateria floors "Clean enough for students" again. Turnes out all the soup rotted the floor boards. It costed them thousands to replace it all, and it all could have been avoided by simply not skipping on the soap costs.
That kid is a LEGEND

The year after I left high school, I heard that they made it a policy that girlswere not allowed to use the girls room without a teacher present watching them: this was put in place because they found one vape pin in one of the girls bathrooms. The boys bathroom for the past few years has been nothing but vape smoke and vape pens and it’s been very well known that they’ve been vaping, but nothing was done about that. But the second they find a vape pen in the girls restroom girls are not allowed to piss anymore without somebody watching, it was also trying to close your eyes, so no matter how much you pass if you were a trans man this applied and if you were a trans woman this didn’t apply. I should probably clarify that the school has a history of discriminatory rules and discrimination, and how those rules are enforced, for example, there’s no hat rule however, it was only ever enforced on students who weren’t white, meaning, if you’re black, you get suspended for wearing a hat but if you’re white wear whatever the fuck you want, and typically other elements of the dress code, only ever applied to women, men could break the dress code without anybody batting an eye, but the second a girl did she was kicked the fuck out, and us trans kids we’re basically being constantly stopped for breaking dress code for not following gender roles or stopped for changing in the bathrooms instead of in the locker rooms for gym or just wearing our gym clothes to school to avoid changing in the locker rooms that didn’t fit our gender, Long story short the schools very shitty. But after banning girls from using the restroom without being watched people pointed out that this rule was not applied to boys, explicitly so and pointed out that’s not legal, It’s sex based discrimination and a lawsuit was almost filed before they got rid of the rule out of fear, because it turns out there were a lot of lawyers who were parents of those girls and a few extremely rich bitches who were fucking livid (rightfully so) yeah The school was gonna lose all its money in a lawsuit, and the government would have to step in and essentially fire all the staff, including the people in charge and replace them all, and they did not all want to lose their jobs over that
WTF are from Detroit!?
This is why I never go the school bathrooms, such some perverts
What did they expect to happen? For the girls to comply? These people are idiots.

I get you, and feel so bad for you. Gendered bathrooms are already shitty enough to deal with as a trans person, but your school sounds like it makes it so much worse. Glad you don't have to deal with that school anymore!
Story 6 was pretty much a success story. No more dress code violations, a harmless fad is started and the school makes money for school use.

Similar to the YikYak thing, our school sent out an email to not use discord, like at all. If you even mentioned it at my school, the school would take your phone, go into your phone and delete discord from it, it got so stupid that they confiscated a computer (that never even entered the school to begin with) because it had discord on it.

At my old school, if you got detention or ISS, you weren't allowed to eat lunch, but your family would still have to pay for it. And you had to do work all day. But the thing is is that all that work, no matter how good you do, is an automatic 0. So your GPA would drop significantly. That school is still up and running today.
Bro school does this with everything like field trips. Like that's an empty seat their. The best part is that they do it because they poor fr.
All throughout middle school, cell phone use was prohibited during school hours, field trips and after-school clubs being the only exceptions. No using them during class (unless the teacher lets you, which was rare), passing period, or even lunch. Of course, almost no one followed this rule as most students would just hide their phones behind Chromebooks, books, under desks, or the menaces that wouldn't even try to hide it. Personally, I never had a problem with this rule, sure, I hid stuff behind books we read in class, but all I was hiding was the book I was actually willing to read, the manga I got from the library!
When they banned cell phone use, I just started bringing my laptop. No teacher ever said anything, and I inspired other students to do the same thing.
You sure you didn’t go to my school?
this is why i have parents sign that i can confiscate phone. if they dont agree i give the kids detention, one day for first violation, a week for second, a month for the third. i will drop all the detention if the parents sign the wavier. Now kids lose there phone walking in to class.
also if caught with it on a test is a instent F
I have this rule in my school, it still exists, and it doesn’t seem like it will be abolished anytime soon
That rule is in every school of South America, you Americans can't separate from your phones, can you?
As for Story #1, does anyone wanna explain to me why they couldn't simply arrest the bastard selling the liquor? How is that even remotely complicated?

No always caught. It can be multiple kids.
@@ZachCremisiSky The story made it clear that it was only one seller, though.

people kept skipping class in the bathrooms so my school put locks on bathrooms
so you need a keycard to get in so if u ask a teacher they give u a keycard to go to the bathroom but that keycard could also open every lock in the school so kids could just leave school with the card at a back gate go to town get kfc or something and come back to school they had to ban going to the bathrooms for 2 weeks then the new key cards could only
open the bathrooms but for maybe a 2 months kids could leave school when they felt like it.
Kinda weird that the school locks the kids inside a building
@@oliveromarsson4189true, but ig it stops students from just going home whenever they feel like it. Although for some reason you can just walk out of mine bc the main entrance just needs you to accidentally brush past button and it opens

My school had a rule where you weren't allowed to stand up during lunch, my friend got a reffurl because he was just throwing away the trash. The school made that rule because they wanted less food on the floor, but there were still kids that would throw food for some reason, then after 2 weeks the rule was forgotten so we could throw our trash away without waiting till the end of lunch to wait for a staff with a trash can would make you throw away trash. Be sure to remember that school I am in is one of the worst for not understanding students with mental disabilitys and that their ignorant💀
you guys had to stay in the cafeteria at lunch?
For the first story: my school turned off the drinking fountains my junior year due to Covid. Of course it was only the fountain part, my school’s fountains also had water bottles filling stations and those were left alone. My solution was to drink from the sink when I was sent to the bathroom to cool off as I’d overheat frequently in the masks.
There's a rule in our university that is *still under approval* but everyone, even teachers, are praying for it's rejection. So basically, we're in a really hot town/city and at school, only the rooms were air-conditioned. However, everyone wants to hang out with friends and stuff on campus grounds, and outside the classrooms, yk, highschool stuff. It's either you have to bring a heavy ass tumbler or a handfan. Outside the campus, right next door, plenty of "sari-sari" stores (we are in the Phillippines) sold home cooked meals and iced drinks. We loved them, best stuff I've had. The rule here is that *we can no longer go out of the campus during lunchtime* . It's actually a double L in my opinion since those vendors and store owners are doing that for their living and the canteen prices are always sky-high and it's really cramped/hot in there. Hoping this rule gets denied, people's livelihoods are on the line.

My food tech teacher made a rule where you can’t say “snitches get stitches” so our class walks in, asks if we’re on practical and if not then about 6 people will yell it until sent out
My school (middle school) has a rule where you can’t go to your locker during free period. Like why??? Also 6th graders are allowed to go outside during free period, but 7th and 8th grade can’t. Like we literally don’t get any fresh air for the 7 hours we’re in school…
In my middle school this year they only allowed 6th grader's to go outside durring lunch but that was only 1 day.
In my school, only seniors were allowed outside. But, honestly I believe all grades should be allowed outdoor time, especially during nice days.
at my school, all the hallways are outdoors, the only problem is its in SOUTH FLORIDA and they banned shorts when i was in 7th grade. it doesnt help that im the kid who always wears sweaters because i HATE the feeling of not wearing one :(
Story 2: this kid is a legend, man brought a blow up doll and teachers didn’t even care anymore. 😂
They wisely figured out that if they punished him again he would find another, even worst, way of making a mockery of the rules XD

“suspended.”
“I NEED MEDICAL CARE-“
Our school tried to make a rule that you need to be ESCORTED to the bathroom. They stopped doing that when they realized how stupid it was to make kids wait for an escort just to go piss.
My school also has a 40 hour community service, with bad schools around it. They expel students with failing grades and send them to one of the bad schools just to say they have a 100% graduation rate
When I was in elementary, specifically 5th grade, we had really one rule, no running indoors. Since wer were all 9-10 we not only ignored it, but encouraged it via dares and races. While in one of these races my ankle hit a corner and twisted, nearly breaking. I wasn't there for a week and a half but when I got back they made the wall edges rounded and the rule was gone.
This is why rules are good.
For those wondering how people were able to survive at all in the "95" degree weather, remember that's in Fahrenheit, which equates to 35 degrees Celsius.
EDIT:For context, I live in the Columbia Basin, a bowl-shaped valley in Washington state, the furthest north and west state in the contiguous United States. Here, the temperature has been known to spike as high as 110f/40c in late July or early August.
That doesn’t answer the question… 20C is already considered a light heatwave here in the EU… 10 degrees more is already enough to ban working…
Once when I was in middle school the AC broke and we were all stuck in 90 degree weather (Fahrenheit). I don’t think anyone learned anything that day. Only bright side was that a teacher brought us all ice cream. I still think we should’ve just been sent home.
95 degrees is still not good, regardless of what scale you use

My high school also had the ban on the Co-ed Naked and Big Johnson shirts. We simply pointed out that the meaning is only dirty if you choose to see it that way, so what exactly were they thinking?
Stupid naive me at the time thought Big Johnson was some sort of rock singer or something!
I once worked as a bus driver and our union stupidly accepted an offer of an increase in our hourly rate but, in return we'd only be paid for the time we're actually "in service" (ie actually driving the bus on route). This backfired on management in so many ways.
If we were late signing in, they'd deduct our pay, but since we weren't being payed, we'd deliberately hang around to go out later, but while we're in the office, they'd increase the deduction because we're now later still so we'd end up in the endless cycle that resulting in us not working at all that day.
If we were in service and running late due to weight of passengers, they'd ask us to stop picking up passengers and just get back on time, but we'd refuse because when we did that, they'd be deducting pay from us.
If we arrived at our terminus point late, then we'd deliberately leave late for the return journey because if we're not being paid for the 10 minutes between trips, then we're darned well not going to cut our 10 minute break short. We're due that 10 minute break so we're going to have a 10 minute break.
There were so many disciplinary actions for drivers "deliberately running late" or "refusing to take orders from a controller" that it all got way out of hand. The manager was no longer able to carry out his regular duties as he was too busy hearing all these disciplinary disputes. I left in the middle of all this kerfuffle so I don't know how (or if) it ever got resolved.
In my elementary back then. We forces to buy a soup even we don't want the soup, if we don't want, every teacher have different punishment like calling your parents, standing in back of the class, and etc.
so in 5th grade we got this rule that if you ran in lunch time or any other time. If you were caught running, they would push you and take you to the office to stop you.
I was running as a normal 10 year old and all of a sudden, i fall into a pillar and break my ankle. Thanks so much Amanda, that hospital bill costed a third of my mom's salary and we almost ran out of food because of that.
Damn, bro's petty, I agree with you even tho I never got my ankle broken, screw that amanda

Last year in 7th grade my school had a rule you got suspended if you bring fast food too school, while everyone just about everyone just hid it in their lunch but on the last day of school everyone in my lunch period brought fast food. There were 8 classes with 27 to 32 kids in each class. The next year that wasn’t a rule any more.
If this is the US (where I am from) I dont blame y'all school lunches are apparently more unhealthy than fast food. Wild!
My school had a really strange rule (secondary school in the UK) where you weren't allowed to leave the school grounds during morning break and lunch time. It was really stupid because a number of kids lived local enough that they could head on home, grab something to eat for lunch and be back in time for the next lessons or pick up PE kit because PE was generally after lunch. Pretty much everyone broke it and it didn't last long. A number of parents complained about it because it also impacted things like a doctors appointment and the rule was only instituted because 3 proper trouble makers were basically up to no good, but it wasn't just during lunch time and such because they'd go skive off half the time, those 3 were later expelled anyway because so it was a pointless rule to begin with because have the shit that happened to create the rule happened during class times.
Y’all are allowed to leave the school building? And get a break that allows you to do so?
I’m American, we can’t leave the building and don’t get a break period.
I used to work at a hospital that had something called PETAL forms stood for PErsonal Time Activity Log. You had to fill out a form whenever you weren't scheduled with everything you did on your day off. This was instituted because the hospital didn't want employees doing anything to ruin the hospitals reputation on their day off. These forms had to be approved by management and HR and only "Company approved activities" were allowed under penalty of termination. So they'd hand out stacks of them so you wouldn't have to make trips to the HR office every week and could just keep the extras at home to bring back on your next shift.. Nobody filled them out, and as a result hospital administration was pissed. so in response the hospital fired 10 people the first day after they were instituted. Of course repercussions and a major lawsuit followed. We as workers lost, (courts always rule in favor of the business, and a lot of us were convinced the judge knew the owner of the hospital) but the PETAL forms were gone after like a week when whole departments starting quitting on the spot
Wouldnt that be PTAL?

First story. Did no one notice no water fountains during the renovation inspections? Someone from the school board or a building inspector? The construction foreman? How bad do you have to be at your job to not notice you walled up dozens of pipe outlets that should have extended out of the walls or the pile of water fountains that still needed to be put in? And no one had the bright idea to just install them. It's not like they have to take down whole walls. Just cut the holes where the fountains should have gone to begin with. Or have someone fall on their sword and admit there was no plan to provide water.
It's surprisingly common. Drywallers/plasterers dgaf.
I had a card flipping thing in elementary school, it each students name is on it and it goes from green, yellow, orange, and Red.
How this works is if you were good all day you’ll still be in green
If you do something bad like forget your gym clothes you’ll get a yellow card, that usually results in a warning.
If you get an orange, like for example push someone accidentally without even noticing that usually results in bit of a time out and a phone call to your parents.
But if you get red, like if your fighting a bully at recess and the teacher catches you swinging first you’ll be dragged back to class or the principals office and you won’t participate in any class activities and you’ll get a phone call to your parents on how your kid has been bad all day.
The problem with this is that you can get In trouble for something like forgetting your gym clothes.
And this has lead into teachers having favouritism to certain students as they don’t get in trouble for anything and the “problem” child would always get singled out by not only students but teachers, even when they weren’t involved.
This was later removed due to parents being annoyed that they’re being called for dumb things like forgetting gym clothes and parent concerns about teachers giving the good kids special treatment.
And I forgot to mention if you got a lot of greens you’ll get a prize from the start of the class to the end (usually in June), there’s usually a goodies bag of like yo-yo’s, a bouncy ball and or hot wheels car and a pencil that changes colour if you put heat onto it, but if you’ve got more orange or red you’ll get nothing.
But u Got yellow for forgetting gym clothes how that resulted in a Phone call?
In my kindergarten that was a thing.
Yay, you spelled colour correctly!
I had that in kindergarten, but without the teacher favoritism.

My good story comes from high school (mid 2000s)
We had a science teacher decide to allow a single 3x5 card with notes during tests. I am a tech guy and I decided to use the absolute smallest font size possible in ms word. I had the ENTIRE study guide printed on a single side of a 3x5 card and started acing the class. I was able to squint and see all the text but once everyone else figured this out they started doing it or asking me to make copies of mine and others started bringing in magnifiers and the teacher finally caught on and stopped us from using 3x5 cards ever again. Ugh
I did that in college for stats. We were allowed a 3x5 to write formulas and such for the exams. It was before computers were such a big thing, I'd say maybe '93 or so. I was able to get one of those fine point pens and wrote very small and it worked well.
We're allowed to have a double sided A4 page of notes for some tests so I get a tiny font and copy paste notes from the digital textbook
I heard a story of that, but you could only use one side. Man used a mobius strip.
16:50 all throughout my elementary school, Tag wasn't allowed, i think because when some kid tagged someone, they tripped. As you'd expect, none of the teachers really cared, nor did the principle, but they did start cracking down around 3rd grade.
My school had a ''One way System'' in which you were only allowed to walk one way in the main corridor. This ended up with multiple students being late for classes and chaotic rushes to the canteen when the break and or lunch bells rang. Students hated the system and i overheard some planning a petition to stop it, Thankfully, the school held a vote for/against the one way system and we all voted against it, and the rule was removed.
My school was really strict. It had uniforms, lots of rules, and really annoying levels of punishment for those rules. They made a rule that banned "toys" from school. Now, I could see how this would be reasonable, maybe if they weren't allowed out of backpacks while in the school building, but no. They weren't allowed at recess. Keep in mind, our playground was a parking lot; very boring, as all the athletic kids would always get to the equipment first, leaving nothing to do for everyone else. So, my friend and I decided to sneak 45 Beanie Boos out to recess. We succeeded, and the best part was, we walked right past the principal with all of the toys hidden in binders, lunchboxes, etc. Nobody noticed except for the kids. It was awesome. Of course, the school didn't change the rule, but I did manage to get around it again by clipping a bunch of little TY Beanie Boos to a pair of colorful socks for "crazy sock day". I kind of miss that place, but honestly, not really.
I've got a question about story 23. Is it unusual for schools to have only one entrance/exit, that you have to identify yourself at and sign in to the building? That's SOP in England. You can't risk some p**do just wandering in the school grounds and doing whatever they want. Or a parent kidnapping their kid during some custody-agreement problems. Or kids leaving school and getting themselves hurt or run over or something. And if people can wander in and out whenever, how would firemen know if the building was clear or if they should send in people for a rescue mission? During school hours, teachers are in loco parentis, ie legally responsible for the minors in their care. You'd think, in a county that sues as much as it does, they'd have a stricter policy about the safety of the students.
Well, my school has multiple exits, however they all either need teacher cards to open from outside or can only be used as exits. Only teachers access doors during school hours though, and only one door is used for parent or stranger access in general.
Depends. My elementary and middle schools had basicallymany open doors, but after the increase in school shootings, all of the doors were upgraded to require a keycard (I was in high school). We were a small town so I'm guessing it was government-mandated/funded.
There was never once a mention of p*dos or crazy family members, only school shooters (again, small town, everybody knew each other and we were all pretty safe).
So basically, it didn't use to be standard, but it is now.
@@breakingthechains38 I'm a city-kid from England so school shooters aren't a thing I worry about, but stranger danger is always a big thing here. Which is bad really, 'coz you're more likely to be assaulted by someone you know.
IDK what it's like out in the counrtyside here. Smaller communities would have less of a need for increased security, I guess.
My school has a bunch of signs about how teachers are armed (true) and stuff to ward off people, then a heavy duty door, then a sign in thing, then another heavy duty door, then the armed staff (there is blue boxes with pepper spray guns, only some staff actually have a gun on them), then a door stop stick thing to each classroom if we are in lockdown. I think I’m safe 😅
Here’s one from my school:
So basically my school wanted for us not to call others gay, because we had a gay student at our school. We only called our homies gay cuz they said some “odd” stuff. So the school banned saying gay and we were all left thinking on what to call our bros. We couldn’t say “Sus” because, let’s face it, 5 year olds say that. So we just called each other not straight. Fast forward to next year and we get a shit ton of new students, and lemme say they were EXTREMELY brave. 2 of them got all their friends, and made a whole ass plan to tell the principal that we wanted to call each other gay. After school, we all went into the principals office and the 2 students Literally yelled at him, "WE WANNA SAY GAY" after that they got detentions and the principal quit. Honestly I wouldn't have gone through all that to call our homies gay. Me and their friends were just standing there praying he didn't give a shit about us. We got a new principal and we were able to call each other gay again.
but at what fucking cost

My high school's boys bathroom reeked of cigarettes, so I never went to the bathroom. They tried to enforce a no smoking rule, but it just made smoking cooler. 😅
Right after I graduated high school (2010), my high school implemented a policy where people were required to tuck in their shirts and wear belts. In the two years prior, there was talk about school uniforms and while that didn't happen, they came up with this. To me, it was a loophole that I saw coming.
Idk when they got rid of it, but it's been gone for several years. I found out that there was a lot of bullying going on because it accentuated different parts of the kids' bodies in different ways. The teachers saw this and asked for that rule to be changed.

Oh I remember it was “Let them eat cake” I think a British princess or queen said that a couple hundred years ago
The school had this rule for ONE day but at the time I was in fourth grade with a permanent substitute because my teacher was on maternity leave. We go to lunch which is one of two breaks we have during the day, the cafeteria workers yell at us that we can’t talk during lunch anymore. Then our permanent sub wrote a 6 paragraph long essay on facebook about how it made us very talkative the rest of the day
In my school if you got a detention you would clean up spills pick up trash etc. But all this was out front with no fence so tons of kids would run home and tell there parents school got off early.
In my school they banned edging in class, the entire school was in uproar and even held a vote to see if they should allow edging to happen again, after a solid 3 days the principal got rid of the ban on edging. It didn't affect me tho, I kept all my school related stuff and bookmarks on chrome.
Ohhh... i thought you meant a DIFFERENT kind of that

40 hours of community service to graduate?
That's ridiculous, it should've been 4 hours maximum and 40 minutes minimum
In my middle school I was in the last month of 8th grade and we were all wanting the dress code to be lifted but the teachers said we had to follow the current rules to get that goal so 5 kids show up to school(they were 8th graders) and they were told to call home but the students retaliated and the principal implemented an all jacket ban to all the 8th graders! you couldn’t even wear a school jacket! we started wearing long sleeve shirts under our polo shirts and if we got to hot we could just go into the bathroom and change. We asked if we could get the rule lifted but the teachers said that we were using loopholes but only because we had corporal punishment which is unfair! eventually on the last week of school the ban was lifted but the story doesn’t stop here! On the last day of school we had two kids who brought in silly string and sprayed it at our english teacher and the teacher was laughing about it but the principal decided to punish the whole grade and said that we all had to be put on lockdown for the rest of the day this wasn’t the first lockdown we had (last year us 7th graders were put on lockdown because of a fight that somehow ended up turning into a rumor about a school shooter and everybody RAN across the hallways trying to get to classrooms i was running too but i wasn’t screaming eventually the teachers turned into prison mode and put us on lockdown for 2 weeks!) so we were thinking about protesting but the principal said that if we did we would be expelled and she would call the high school we were going to be expelled and keep us home for half a semester! so if you were wondering where i went to school this was a middle school in nashville tennessee mnps school district
16:30 Have to commend the principal for sticking to his own policy and putting a positive spin on it. It was a good policy, good that he kept it instead of removing the policy because it inconvenienced him.
My school implemented kiosks for students to write their own late notes for teachers. No one took it seriously and would write insane excuses. School took them out after a month.
At my middle school the Vice principal said not to say the n word now everyone does and the one black dude in my grade gets called to the office every day since he gives out too many passess
Lol
My school banned matball (a game kinda like kickball) because one kid tripped and broke his arm, but they still allowed actual kickball which was basically the same thing, if not more dangerous than matball.
my school has this stupid rule called the "20-20 rule" where you can't exit the classroom in the fiirst or last 20 minutes of class.cit was to cut down on vaping and students skipping class. it's still in affect and it's stupid
Not really a rule, but one year, my school did a thing where they'd play music over the intercom and any student could go to the office to change it. The problem was that no one was told the second part, so we had to listen to Sexyback on loop for the entire year.
Basically my entire school dress code has been forgotten, we basically can wear anything as long as it’s not too revealing, however, we aren’t allowed to have hoods still and boots, we can wear boots in school, bc “it will track snow through the school” snow will melt, and it’s a floor! So almost my entire class wore boots for abt a week (in the winter) and it got removed, for a year, it’s back tho (idk if this counts)
That last rule was just funny because I had no idea they meant kill it and I thought they meant just bring it alive. Lol
on that no homework story i would have done really well as i didnt like doing homework but my test grades were good my overall grades only suffered due to homework dragging it down. it always amazed my fellow classmates and some teachers that i did so well in class why? i was the kid that often slept in classes. my trick was i read the text books when i was made to wake up and that and what bits i listened to let me keep the info needed to pass tests
my school had 2, and one was made just yesterday.
so, the first one: in junior high, my choir teacher banned water in her class for no reason. most days, people would leave her class very dehydrated, since it was an hour and at the beginning of the day. one kid came into class, and he hadn't drank any water for about a day at this point. long story short, he passed out, and we made a petition called "water for will," and when everyone in the whole school signed it we got the rule changed to being allowed to have water, although the choir teacher still gets mad if you drink it-
2nd: just yesterday (still in junior high), we were told we could not hit each other with these blue foam blocks, but we COULD fence with them. sadly for the teachers, i have fencing knowledge, and there's a style of fencing, called sabre, where you can hit people with the side of the blade. people fought with those all day yesterday-
God, what a horrible teacher
My principal had something against me (I’m special needs and need music to focus) so he proceeded to ban UA-cam and spotify that is until the teachers couldn’t teach so he lifted the ban
5:56 sounds like the school took a massive w there. They got to enforce their policy without backlash and could sell t-shirts without parent complaint.
My best friends school doesnt allow devices. Like, none, whatsoever, except MAYBE if the child REQUIRES it due to a health issue or is extremely special needs, which is unlikely, as its strict, and catholic af. Also they have to get a FRIKKIN BATHROOM PASS- HELP- no, not a hall pass. They need a pass to do their business. Throw in that they pet a kid who puked earlier that day attend classes, potentially spreading the illness. Sfratch that, its most likely.
is anybody going to talk about how the symbol on the thumbnail is literally the astronomical symbol of mercury
We had a principal that was a complete tyrant. He made a rule that the men had to have a belt on their pants or they would have to go home. My senior year we all (class of about 300) decided that we would have the same phraise on our pants (senior chords) that said "the hell with belts" and it was his rule that made this safe because he had said that if the pants had no place for a belt, we didn't have to wear one. He saw these pants and got all bent but it was worth it. We all wore the "senior chords" on Friday but most of us had pants without belts for the rest of the week. We loved to piss him off and did when ever we could.

the admin: alright, dont touch people because thats physical harassme-
some random student: PHYSICAL HARASSMENT!
I suddenly remember an episode of the old show, "Recess", where kids at the school weren't allowed to say the word 'Whomps' (as in if something bad happens, a character would state 'This whomps.')
The kids thought this was outrageous as the word was one they made up, but the faculty treated it like a cuss. The kids fought back by using the word in any way they could, and eventually reached a point where they were taken to court!
The verdict? The judge busted out laughing bc he thought it was a funny word, and several other adults in the room saw no harm nor vulgarity in it. "Whoever thinks the word is dirty obviously has a dirty mind themselves!" The judge quoted, and the case was dropped.
in middle school had a weird rule where is the bathrooms were messy enough every grade of that gender was banned from the restroom for month's. depressing thing is my friend had a unresponsive balder that made him not know when he needed to go so he had to leave class in intervals but the ban still happened for him so his mom yelled to the school and he didn't have to follow the rule after that.
As a marine, that's the most marine thing I've ever heard
Here’s a story that happend at my school
So the school was having a problem with kids drawing on the walls in the bathroom so they banned pencils crayons and sharpies and markers so everyone was pissed about it so some kid started selling pencils and markers at recess for like 2.00$ so that kid earned like 50$

One thing at my school that backfired was if we brought a snack it had to be healthy but the kids brought real snacks and the teacher didn’t do anything
A stupid rule that backfired wasn't for the entire school, but just my kindergarten class because my teacher wanted us to be "efficient" as she would say to us every single morning. So basically, everytime when we were done doing something, we would have to put ALL our stuff away back in our desk in 10 seconds, and if we didn't, we would have to move our clip down on the color thing that you all probably remember when you were young. And if we got to red we would get detention, yes detention, which was another stupid rule and it applied for all kindergarteners, but it was only for like 15 minutes and would miss recess. The worst part is was that my kindergarten class was pretty chill unlike the normal snot nosed brats you would think of, and yet we would get in trouble because we didn't put our stuff away quickly? And you would also get in trouble if you didn't take your stuff out to get ready for an Activity in 10 seconds. All the parents complained to the teacher but she just ignored them, and even when they complained to the school, the school did nothing.
So parents did what any other group of angry parents would do, they all got them and their kids together, and they told us that evey time we had to take or put our stuff away or out, we would be really slow on purpose. And the school wasn't happy that the best behaving class was getting detention every day. The principal had enough and went to our class one day to talk to us. We all explained to the principal about the rule and once we were done explaining, the principal at the point had enough and shouted at the teacher while the whole class was giggling with each other. The teacher immediately removed the rule and we became her least favorite class, but we didn't care, because we got revenge.
I didn't think much about this rule at first, but now I think that it was just so stupid and that my teacher wasn't a good teacher, and remember, we were kindergarteners! I don't know what she was thinking, but she must of been on crack.
My elementary school banned tag, running, red rover, pokemon, cartwheels/tumbling, digging in the woodchips, four square, you name it for recess. And then wondered why the kids were restless and didn't know how to entertain themselves when bored
School: Nobody can be gay!
Everybody gay; Then we are bysexual but prefer one gender.
School: *Sh*t…*
That kid on the second story is a legend
The story on the safety presentation was wonderful. That kid deserved a standing ovation just for his creativity in how he handled it. Also, that R.A. needs some serious psychatric help.
The story about the parking passes only applies to schools in big cities. In the small rural towns, like where I live, they have enough busses.
The story about the marine was awesome. It's also a proof as to why the military has so many rules.
Head mistress stood up in front of the school and made a new rule. No calling people “gay” unless they were actually gay, because they can “be what they want”. We were in year 6 (all aged 10-11) and people were already coming out as pan or lesbian or bi or gay. Crazy. But, the kids, well, they used the teacher’s own words against her. Suddenly, all the white kids started identifying as gay, black women and beating the sh*t out of each other on the playground. Obviously, they didn’t actually identify as that, so it was a joke, but it was hilarious.
This kid invited me, the fat white kid, to become black so I could be faster 😂😂. It was just a way to offend each other by using “gay” as an insult and fight over it without getting in trouble, and it was just absolute chaos with the upper years after the rule was dropped.
Nice loophole.
I bet that head mistress was cut from the school board for that

That kid in Story 2 is my hero.
my job has a rule where if an employee is sick, they have to find their own replacement. They aren't actually legally able to do this, so most employees don't care. this means that the employees don't look for replacements, and the employer doesn't look for replacements, so the shift the employee was on just ends up understaffed
The dumbest rule at school would probably be no hats. It was literally minus 30 and I naturally came to school with a beanie. My teacher took it away and told me to go play in the cold with my face exposed. Naturally, I got pneumonia and nearly died from it twice. My teacher even told me it was my mother’s fault for not buying me a jacket with an insulated hood.
I remember rocks in the snowballs. I was never part of that crowd, but we had pea gravel at my elementary school. When it was just frozen, there would be clumps and single layer sheets of pea gravel rocks stuck together.
I knew the boys who would throw them at eachother. 9 times out of 10, the ice-glued clump if rocks would shatter from the force of being thrown, so the "assailant" just flings pea gravel at their friend, which actually rarely ever made contact with anyone. If a clump could withstand the force of being thrown, it would seemingly melt into you and the individual peas of gravel would clatter all to the ground.
I enjoyed picking the clumps up to drop them from as high as I could get
the last story is the definition of a crayon eating Marine who takes everything literally
