These sort of rules are ridiculous. There shouldn't be 0 tolerance for fights. The rule should be that the student that started the fight should be punished, not the victim.
My high school did the same my freshman year along with coats. Got rid of it the next year. Might have had something to do with the entire student body standing outside in +/-35⁰ weather for an hour because of a bomb threat.

no drugs at school. classmate had a vitamin deficiency, school nurse gave him vitamin pills, he took one in class a few days later and the whole class got punished except for him because he was principal's son.
Schools that flat out ban Medicine because they're "drugs" have always baffled me. You'd think there'd be at least one person pointing out that there are medications that can make someone really sick if you miss a dose, or pain medication that makes people who are hurt functional. It's just like with the idiots who force kids to leave emergency Inhalers, Insulin, or Epi-Pens in the nurse's office. People have *died* because schools keep medication from them.
This happened when I was in 7th grade. But my old middle school had so many stupid rules that they enforced; 1) All students had to wear their shirts tucked in their pants. A teacher screamed at me cause my pants came undone in the back. 2) All students must carry these large black binders all the time outside of class. 3) Students were not allowed to talk or laugh with their friends during lunch break; otherwise you would be taken to the stage in the cafeteria and humiliated in front of the whole school and not only would you be forced to pick up all the trash for the rest of lunch but you be taken to the library and be berated and have to write an apology letter to not show “joy” during school hours

Around 14:30, the rule of “No locks on lockers” completely defeats the purpose of the locker. That makes your stuff vulnerable to theft, and I know this because I had a schedule and belt stolen in the locker room because I didn’t have a gym locker, and then I got a locker, and with my belongings being LOCKED inside my locker, my stuff has not been stolen or even touched.

I moved to a moved school in the spring of my 11th year. I would go sit with the girls during lunch and assembly.

My school (depending on the teacher) won’t let us each snack any larger than fruits snacks or something because ‘it’s basically lunch, we just had lunch and you were too busy talking to eat’. The reality? Lunch is about 13 minutes and we have a ridiculous amount of students due to having hardly any schools in an area where there are too many people and not enough of certain necessary buildings (hard to explain if you don’t understand) We already have two lunches due to the amount of students, and most bring microwaveable stuff from home like max and cheese, which takes 3 1/2 minutes. There are only 3 microwaves that work, so most time is spent waiting instead of eating. It’s crazy that we don’t get much time to eat then eat the rest (usually not much, and never a mess) in the time right after. They also made the specific rule “no bringing ketchup packets outside that you stuffed in your pockets”. It got worse after that rule was implemented. Rules like that, but no rules on using those soda can sleeves and stuff even after some kid from my year got drunk in 6th grade at lunch after bringing alcohol.
The thing about the bus not being able to stop anywhere else than its preassigned drop off points is a thing in my district too. My bus turns off of my street about 150 feet from my house, and then drops me off three blocks down the other street.

Students were assigned lockers at the start of the first semester, but more often than not, someone had a chance of 'stealing' your assigned locker, and you weren't really allowed to complain about it. This would mean that you'd either have to find another locker in the school (usually left in a dirtier, unkempt state), or carry your bag around EVERYWHERE. Considering how often drug searches occurred at my school, and I didn't want to make a personal fund for lock replacements every week, I opted to carrying my bag. My personal effects remain free from being stolen, but oh lord, does my back hurt from lugging heavy books for 8 hours a day. The thing about most of these rules is that they were largely unenforceable. Mainly the first and last one. The girls who wore tops WITHOUT straps might've gotten no more than a passive aggressive glance from the teacher, because would would they do, rip a student's clothes off in front of their classmates? Then tell them to put on imaginary clothes, assuming that they just had their home wardrobe on standby to dress more conservatively? It's honestly funny thinking back on it.
At my middle school we're just not allowed to use the lockers and have to carry our backpacks everywhere anyway, but I will say that it made my back strong as hell
The dumbest rule at my high school? Anyone who reported a rape would get in trouble for "lying". This was even the case when the rape happened right in front of the teacher it was being reported to.
In 6th grade they changed it so that you were not allowed to carry your backpack around school even if it was a clear one, saying that all the high schools in the state did that so we had to be ready. A kid in my ELA class immediately found a loophole because they only banned carrying around backpacks, not any other type of bag. Also I'm nearing the end of high school, we can carry our backpacks everywhere. Another thing is that my school is about to open up a classroom for when students are overwhelmed or something like that, the thing is we can't bring our phones in there. It isn't a problem for most students but for me it is because to calm down I often need music, without it I half the time will panic more than I already was
My school has a dress code that bans white -- or any bright-coloured -- socks, this meant that black and navy socks were encouraged by teachers across the school and if we were caught wearing them, the teacher would have to sign a card that basically says 'hi, i broke a rule' and if it were signed 3 times we'd get an after-school detention. Yeah, a lot of people completely disregarded the rule, and to be fair it's not heavily enforced and it's even allowed during P.E, it's still a rule to this day and they've been trying to better its enforcement. An equally stupid dress code rule was no socks over tights, and this one was not enforced whatsoever.
That's dumb, but also here's a tip you might use, instead of using --, you can use Unicode character u+2014 if you know how to type Unicode characters, and instead get -
in my middle school fights were VERY common and fact it made the news because of how bad the fighting was every day but most of the time when a fight happens if you fight back you will get in more trouble them the person who is fighting you so if you get jumped and you are just expected to take it and tell a teacher after which would in turn provoke that person to fight you again for telling even some of the teachers complain about how unfair it is and half of the when the school officer is around he doesn't do anything.
My intermediate school had a rule that “students are not permitted to open the outside doors at any time for any reason.” One time, my friend was late while coming inside from recess, and the door was closed before she got in, so she literally had to sit there for 2 periods until someone noticed that she was gone. As far as I know, they haven’t removed the rule yet and even have big signs on the doors that have the rule on them. My middle school has a rule that you can’t eat anything outside of lunch unless it was given to you by a teacher. One time I missed lunch because I was at the nurse so I had to starve for the rest of the day. I even asked if I could eat something small from my lunch, like a bag of fruit snacks, and my teacher wanted me to but she couldn’t let me because it was against the rule.
@@badgerbadger-badger-Poppy I guess we would have to anyways because they have the doors locked to enforce the rule, so either jump out the window or wait for a teacher with a key.
I remember in 2014,some kids played in the bathroom,and they threw pads up and down,so the teacher made us use a PLUNGER as a bathroom pass((that didn’t even last a day and they all got to it)) and it changed to a bucket((didn’t even last a single hour)).
5:35 i had the same thing in my school and i was a dickhead in school so when they saw me sitting with my bf i just kissed him and got in even more trouble but it was so worth it seeing the disciplinarian’s face
8:33 I remember my school banned taking our backpacks to the classes. All we needed for class was a writing utensil, our folder and an eraser. But this really angered many students, especially ones that dont use their lockers at all.
My school has a policy where we’re not allowed our phones but on the day they said that no electronics were allowed even if you were diabetic. So the next day they changed it to be you being allowed to have it and for the story with no locks that’s also what my school did thinking since they took away phones we wouldn’t steal. How wrong were they within a week of that rule there were over 1,000 thefts due to the middle school kids being treated as the golden kids if the school.
My principle banned “booty” shorts, or short shorts, for girls during gym class so that the male gym teacher didn’t get any ideas. All of the moms (including mine) immediately made them take that rule down
I had a rule in middle school where every quarter you got 10 bathroom passes in total, not for each class. You had to have the sheet with you so the teacher could sign you out. Yes, the rule was the same for the girls and you needed them for lunch
My middle school also did that thing where you had a certain number of times you could go to the bathroom per year, and kids that never left class got extra credit. I always thought this was dumb, going to the bathroom is a perfectly normal thing that everyone has to do, why should someone get a better grade because they have a stronger bladder than someone else. If you have diarrhea, do you just get suspended, who knows?
The 0 tolerance rule lasted all of 2 months at my school. When the people being bullied figured F it after 3 separate people got sent threw glass windows. Finally they decided what occurred in the fight mattered.
List of dumb rules at my school: •No hoods •No coats (not including hoodies) •No gum (in most classes) •No food/snacks •Got to wear PE Uniforms •No phones •No talking •No playing games on Chromebook •Homework •No ordering food for lunch •Have to have a fruit/vegetable/juice for breakfast/lunch •No breathing (joke)
In my school, we aren’t allowed to hold sticks because they think we could use it like a weapon. I understand their logic but I think at least everyone broke that rule 😅
One girl (complete goody-two-shoes) got detention for reading her book after finishing an assessment. When she walked in for detention, the art teacher started berating her for reading her book. Girl walked out, zero consequences
In my school parents were not allowed to enter the building, making them unaware of anything happening inside. The teachers and the principal just lied to all of our parents on parental meetings, while what was really going on, was bullying, vandalism, being abused by teachers, workers not doing their job, and many more. Luckly i switched to house learning.
With regards to Story 12 (banning of hats in school), I remember my elementary school had a similar rule. When my hair fell out between 4th and 5th grades due to surgery and radiation I had undergone that summer, my parents obtained permission from the principal for me to keep my hat on until my hair grew back. My first day back at school, a teacher told me to take off my hat before going inside from recess, but when I told her, [Principal's Name] said I could keep it on," she replied, "OK" and didn't press the issue any farther.
Not my school but one of my teachers rules was you couldn’t say “easy” because she said some things weren’t as easy for you as they were for others. I understand it but come on, we couldn’t even say 1+1 was easy. Also once I accidentally called that same teacher “bruh” and for some reason she threatened to.. I don’t know she just said in that mean ahh tone “I am not a bruh, don’t call me bruh” Another dumb rule (this time schoolwide) is we had to wear clear backpacks and we had metal detectors already.
The summers rule at my school was no phones in sight even of you ask to call a aren't or guardian for a important reason you aren't allowed to fuck my middle school.
not a dumb rule by my district exclusively will never call snow days. even if every other district in the state is closed we still have to go. during that arctic blast where most of the central US had school off? yup, I had to get in my car and drive 20mph through the ice and slush to make it to school. there have been several accidents with students and parents and even a school bus on one occasion, but they refuse to give us snow days unless it is literally above 2 feet of snow before 5am. yes, if the forecast even says that it will accumulate during the day or just before the morning commute, we still have to go because they make the call at 5am only based on what the conditions at that time are. we have 10 inches of snow forecasted for this Thursday, and I would bet money that they don't give us a snow day. instead they'll probably just do a 2 hour delay, which puts additional stress on parents that have to make it to work, and stress on teachers because nobody is paying attention on a delayed day, but also its really hard to learn anything when your class period is about 30 minutes long.
Nah just don’t go it’s better than having to drive in freezing cold weather and a car that takes a long time to warm due to the size of it. If you have a chance to get a good hold on a director if your school district bring it up to them and ask for that rule to be removed so you’ll be safe out there on the roads.
We have, they usually bring up that the reason they are so conservative with snow days is because school is the only place where some kids have heat/food. But it would be better if they made those resources available for that day for the kids who need it, rather than try to make it an entire school day where regardless of our home life, we have an obligation to show up and learn.
I've had the opportunity to talk with who went to school during the 50s and 60s about the dress code. Girls had to wear dresses, while boys couldn't wear blue jeans. they were told that the rivets would scratch the desks! I ponder the desks we used (even after the rule had been changed)that should have been replaced years before!
Story 16 I actually agree with what it said about school water because for one high school enrichment class “I was in elementary at the time” they tested the high school water and it had manure in it…..
My elementary school had a rule forbidding kids to play on the play ground. They had gotten a massive donation and got a brand new jungle gym built, then they promptly banned playing on it or even touching it so “we wouldn’t ruin it.” I remember one kid who was torn to shreds, verbally, cuz he touched the monkey bars, literally had grab the pole to climb the little ladder and before his second hand touch the bars the teachers were already screaming at him. So many of us would go to the school yard during weekends and had all the fun cuz they couldn’t stop us then. Lolz😅
8:35 Here in Australia high school kids carry their books with or without a tote bag. Probably because school bags are oversized and are spine destroyers
School near me had a weird policy of protecting certain kinds of students no matter what. When one student used their status to go to the opposite girls bathroom and surprise buttsecks a freshman girl the school transferred the aggressor to another school without punishment and arrested the first victim student dad for trying to get justice for his daughter as well as asking the FBI to label the dad a domestic terrorist. The student that was transferred ended up surprise buttsecks another girl in the bathroom at their new school.
It's not a rule, but something stupid indeed. This was 5th grade. Me and my class were not talking, and we were actually doing well. We were held back 7 minutes from recess, and the next day, we had to do 2 laps around the school for being late to recess.
i always hated health class, as seemed to be the LEAT concerned with your health! need a drink? no! need to empty your pee and poo hole? no! but math and every other class was "ok yes its good for you to drink when thristy and empty when full" but NEVER health class!
My school is not like these ones but man this kinds of schools 1. They are so much dumb 2. What’s the point of not having bottle of water or going to the bathroom 3. They can’t just do that to kids
Nowadays in the UK, if you're in secondary school, you're not allowed to wear shorts. Like, at all. Solid black trousers all day. And if you even dare wear the shorts. Bam. 40 minute after school detention. And they say boys can wear skirts, but when someone did that, they gave them a detention for it at my school. I started a protest against it and it got so bad that the government got involved. Yeah. The government. It got on a local newspaper and everything. So they said that in days that it was 25 degrees or more outside, you could come in wearing School PE kit.
there was a brief time during my year 9 where the people in an opt in program for phys ed, called advance (Where we did less phys ed, more stuff relating to tutoring and gardening) weren't allowed to wear the special jackets we purchased with the program, which were VASTLY superior to the default jackets the school had (We had a 'no wearing sports uniform outside of phys ed' rule) They proceeded to revoke the jacket rule when all of us ignored it, I was one of the last to start in the ignorance thing, and unlike most of the student body I didn't go the full hog, just the jacket
The "smoked weed" one, I think you can sue the school or smth. Also you can sue for many of the other things. Hope y'all get lots of money back from them!
Dumbest rule at my school is that at the start of the day, after break and after lunch we have to line up outside in our forms. We live in the uk so most of the year we are standing outside in the freezing cold and rain waiting for the extremely slow deputy head to let us in.
Ok... 24 had 2 good rules.... I think.... the "No girls and Boys in the same gym class" one is somewhat flexible at best in the right hands and easily adjustable for the right means and the "No going to school if you miss the bus one" is just an excuse to stay home during a school day. Otherwise: I'm surprised that school didn't get shut down sooner and the staff arrested.
The dumbest school rule at my preschool back in 2018 was that we had to pray before we eat like I’ve been in here for like four hours and you’re saying I have to pray for 20 seconds before I have to eat my bagel!!!
Our High School got a new principal during my sophomore year. During spirit week, where we faced our schools rival in football, everyone was wearing our school colors, gold and maroon. The principal then decided, against all logic, to ban any and all gold and maroon clothing. This included football and cheerleading uniforms. Game day comes, and the principal is furious. Players and cheerleaders come to school in their uniforms, as per the standard practice, and he demands they all change, despite protests and explanations. Game night: He makes the teams go back into the locker rooms and change out of their uniforms. When the team came to the field, they were immediately disqualified due to improper attire, which enraged the principal, who had to be told, by the refs, and district board director, Maroon and Gold were our school colors. He still protested it was gang affiliated behavior, and the policy stayed for a month, costing the school every game that month
Zero tolerance for fighting. You fight, or get fought, it would be the same punishment, so you might as well make it worth it.
These sort of rules are ridiculous. There shouldn't be 0 tolerance for fights. The rule should be that the student that started the fight should be punished, not the victim.
The dumbest rule at my school would probably be the fact that as of now, Backpacks no matter the type, are banned during school hours.
Nah I would had brought my own backpack
Bring your things in progressively more absurd containers until they lift the ban. Try to get others to do it as well

Then tell them to put on imaginary clothes, assuming that they just had their home wardrobe on standby to dress more conservatively?
It's honestly funny thinking back on it.
At my middle school we're just not allowed to use the lockers and have to carry our backpacks everywhere anyway, but I will say that it made my back strong as hell
@@Savvy-cado You weren't allowed to use lockers..?
Now I'm curious to know what happened for THAT rule to be made.
@@psycake1310cuz it’s not… necessary?
The dumbest rule at my high school? Anyone who reported a rape would get in trouble for "lying". This was even the case when the rape happened right in front of the teacher it was being reported to.
In 6th grade they changed it so that you were not allowed to carry your backpack around school even if it was a clear one, saying that all the high schools in the state did that so we had to be ready. A kid in my ELA class immediately found a loophole because they only banned carrying around backpacks, not any other type of bag. Also I'm nearing the end of high school, we can carry our backpacks everywhere. Another thing is that my school is about to open up a classroom for when students are overwhelmed or something like that, the thing is we can't bring our phones in there. It isn't a problem for most students but for me it is because to calm down I often need music, without it I half the time will panic more than I already was
My school has a dress code that bans white -- or any bright-coloured -- socks, this meant that black and navy socks were encouraged by teachers across the school and if we were caught wearing them, the teacher would have to sign a card that basically says 'hi, i broke a rule' and if it were signed 3 times we'd get an after-school detention. Yeah, a lot of people completely disregarded the rule, and to be fair it's not heavily enforced and it's even allowed during P.E, it's still a rule to this day and they've been trying to better its enforcement. An equally stupid dress code rule was no socks over tights, and this one was not enforced whatsoever.
That's dumb, but also here's a tip you might use, instead of using --, you can use Unicode character u+2014 if you know how to type Unicode characters, and instead get -
When did the video switch from crazy rules to just random stories
My school has lockers but they dont assign you one since the pandemic,though if you want one,you can ask and get one.
my school had those planners as well, they quickly get rid of them once the school got lots of calls from angry parents.
After awhile the stories really do get better midway.
in my middle school fights were VERY common and fact it made the news because of how bad the fighting was every day but most of the time when a fight happens if you fight back you will get in more trouble them the person who is fighting you so if you get jumped and you are just expected to take it and tell a teacher after which would in turn provoke that person to fight you again for telling even some of the teachers complain about how unfair it is and half of the when the school officer is around he doesn't do anything.
My intermediate school had a rule that “students are not permitted to open the outside doors at any time for any reason.” One time, my friend was late while coming inside from recess, and the door was closed before she got in, so she literally had to sit there for 2 periods until someone noticed that she was gone. As far as I know, they haven’t removed the rule yet and even have big signs on the doors that have the rule on them.
My middle school has a rule that you can’t eat anything outside of lunch unless it was given to you by a teacher. One time I missed lunch because I was at the nurse so I had to starve for the rest of the day. I even asked if I could eat something small from my lunch, like a bag of fruit snacks, and my teacher wanted me to but she couldn’t let me because it was against the rule.
If there was a fire in the school, what did they want y’all to do, climb out the windows?
@@badgerbadger-badger-Poppy I guess we would have to anyways because they have the doors locked to enforce the rule, so either jump out the window or wait for a teacher with a key.
@@idrawthings3134that’s against OSHA I think
I remember in 2014,some kids played in the bathroom,and they threw pads up and down,so the teacher made us use a PLUNGER as a bathroom pass((that didn’t even last a day and they all got to it)) and it changed to a bucket((didn’t even last a single hour)).
5:35 i had the same thing in my school and i was a dickhead in school so when they saw me sitting with my bf i just kissed him and got in even more trouble but it was so worth it seeing the disciplinarian’s face
8:33 I remember my school banned taking our backpacks to the classes. All we needed for class was a writing utensil, our folder and an eraser. But this really angered many students, especially ones that dont use their lockers at all.
My school has a policy where we’re not allowed our phones but on the day they said that no electronics were allowed even if you were diabetic. So the next day they changed it to be you being allowed to have it and for the story with no locks that’s also what my school did thinking since they took away phones we wouldn’t steal. How wrong were they within a week of that rule there were over 1,000 thefts due to the middle school kids being treated as the golden kids if the school.
My principle banned “booty” shorts, or short shorts, for girls during gym class so that the male gym teacher didn’t get any ideas. All of the moms (including mine) immediately made them take that rule down
Holy crap, with story 24, I kept on saying out loud, “WHY IS IT STILL GOING?! STOP!”
I had a rule in middle school where every quarter you got 10 bathroom passes in total, not for each class. You had to have the sheet with you so the teacher could sign you out. Yes, the rule was the same for the girls and you needed them for lunch
I exist
5:23 This one pisses me off. But I'd still break the rule anyway. If my parents were called because of that they would complain to the school.
No matter what don't follow school rules some of them are meant to be broken they are like hoa rules
Story 7: at least the school owned up to the hypocrisy…
I like that you gave us some positive stuff after the angry stuff to keep it wholesome and fun! Subbing now!
My middle school also did that thing where you had a certain number of times you could go to the bathroom per year, and kids that never left class got extra credit. I always thought this was dumb, going to the bathroom is a perfectly normal thing that everyone has to do, why should someone get a better grade because they have a stronger bladder than someone else. If you have diarrhea, do you just get suspended, who knows?
21:45 same broo
I can’t use the chromebook at lunch without going to the library.
Same!
The stupidest rule my school enforces is no field trips
That is super duper so dumb
Story 15 is basically the school thinking that assault is legal
The 0 tolerance rule lasted all of 2 months at my school. When the people being bullied figured F it after 3 separate people got sent threw glass windows. Finally they decided what occurred in the fight mattered.
“Girls socks can not go over the knee” so boys socks can. Lol

"I am allergic to the food in the school cafeteria"
List of dumb rules at my school:
•No hoods
•No coats (not including hoodies)
•No gum (in most classes)
•No food/snacks
•Got to wear PE Uniforms
•No phones
•No talking
•No playing games on Chromebook
•Homework
•No ordering food for lunch
•Have to have a fruit/vegetable/juice for breakfast/lunch
•No breathing (joke)
A teacher in the 5th grade tried to punch me cause I want working as fast as she wanted me to after not letting eat lunch
Wtf
That last teacher is the worst. Never reprimand an actor like that.
In my school, we aren’t allowed to hold sticks because they think we could use it like a weapon. I understand their logic but I think at least everyone broke that rule 😅
One girl (complete goody-two-shoes) got detention for reading her book after finishing an assessment. When she walked in for detention, the art teacher started berating her for reading her book. Girl walked out, zero consequences
In my school parents were not allowed to enter the building, making them unaware of anything happening inside. The teachers and the principal just lied to all of our parents on parental meetings, while what was really going on, was bullying, vandalism, being abused by teachers, workers not doing their job, and many more. Luckly i switched to house learning.
Respect to the school to actually listening to the kid about hypocrisy tho, most schools don't do that
Love the mention of rush, glad they are not forgotten
Story 8 is sugar sweet.
The last story was just a violation
my school had the no backpacks rule guess what i had an overshoulder laptop bag that i used for books and my laptop the teachers just ignored it
Even better if you have a roller bag (think mini suitcase.)
Story 11: what if a brother and a sister sat next to each other will it be the same thing
With regards to Story 12 (banning of hats in school), I remember my elementary school had a similar rule. When my hair fell out between 4th and 5th grades due to surgery and radiation I had undergone that summer, my parents obtained permission from the principal for me to keep my hat on until my hair grew back. My first day back at school, a teacher told me to take off my hat before going inside from recess, but when I told her, [Principal's Name] said I could keep it on," she replied, "OK" and didn't press the issue any farther.
Not my school but one of my teachers rules was you couldn’t say “easy” because she said some things weren’t as easy for you as they were for others. I understand it but come on, we couldn’t even say 1+1 was easy. Also once I accidentally called that same teacher “bruh” and for some reason she threatened to.. I don’t know she just said in that mean ahh tone “I am not a bruh, don’t call me bruh” Another dumb rule (this time schoolwide) is we had to wear clear backpacks and we had metal detectors already.
Bro they banned the bathroom because of one dude
The summers rule at my school was no phones in sight even of you ask to call a aren't or guardian for a important reason you aren't allowed to fuck my middle school.
not a dumb rule by my district exclusively will never call snow days. even if every other district in the state is closed we still have to go. during that arctic blast where most of the central US had school off? yup, I had to get in my car and drive 20mph through the ice and slush to make it to school. there have been several accidents with students and parents and even a school bus on one occasion, but they refuse to give us snow days unless it is literally above 2 feet of snow before 5am. yes, if the forecast even says that it will accumulate during the day or just before the morning commute, we still have to go because they make the call at 5am only based on what the conditions at that time are. we have 10 inches of snow forecasted for this Thursday, and I would bet money that they don't give us a snow day. instead they'll probably just do a 2 hour delay, which puts additional stress on parents that have to make it to work, and stress on teachers because nobody is paying attention on a delayed day, but also its really hard to learn anything when your class period is about 30 minutes long.
Nah just don’t go it’s better than having to drive in freezing cold weather and a car that takes a long time to warm due to the size of it. If you have a chance to get a good hold on a director if your school district bring it up to them and ask for that rule to be removed so you’ll be safe out there on the roads.
We have, they usually bring up that the reason they are so conservative with snow days is because school is the only place where some kids have heat/food. But it would be better if they made those resources available for that day for the kids who need it, rather than try to make it an entire school day where regardless of our home life, we have an obligation to show up and learn.
I've had the opportunity to talk with who went to school during the 50s and 60s about the dress code. Girls had to wear dresses, while boys couldn't wear blue jeans. they were told that the rivets would scratch the desks! I ponder the desks we used (even after the rule had been changed)that should have been replaced years before!
Story 16 I actually agree with what it said about school water because for one high school enrichment class “I was in elementary at the time” they tested the high school water and it had manure in it…..
I used to get bullied a lot, one time I responded to an insult with "your mum" and got suspended for it
Story 8 would make me sue the living hell outta the school district.
My brain melted by the stupidity
Story 24 was bananas, and I'm glad it stopped
Yep. That’s just prison. A fucking dictatorship.
Tf is that pfp?
My elementary school had a rule forbidding kids to play on the play ground. They had gotten a massive donation and got a brand new jungle gym built, then they promptly banned playing on it or even touching it so “we wouldn’t ruin it.” I remember one kid who was torn to shreds, verbally, cuz he touched the monkey bars, literally had grab the pole to climb the little ladder and before his second hand touch the bars the teachers were already screaming at him.
So many of us would go to the school yard during weekends and had all the fun cuz they couldn’t stop us then. Lolz😅
8:35 Here in Australia high school kids carry their books with or without a tote bag. Probably because school bags are oversized and are spine destroyers
School near me had a weird policy of protecting certain kinds of students no matter what. When one student used their status to go to the opposite girls bathroom and surprise buttsecks a freshman girl the school transferred the aggressor to another school without punishment and arrested the first victim student dad for trying to get justice for his daughter as well as asking the FBI to label the dad a domestic terrorist. The student that was transferred ended up surprise buttsecks another girl in the bathroom at their new school.
Story 11. Let it escalate to parents and let them try to explain to the parents why they were called
20:00 it’s always the strict ones that are nicest to a student in need
It's not a rule, but something stupid indeed. This was 5th grade. Me and my class were not talking, and we were actually doing well. We were held back 7 minutes from recess, and the next day, we had to do 2 laps around the school for being late to recess.
I once got yelled at by a teacher for doing homework during lunch 😂

i always hated health class, as seemed to be the LEAT concerned with your health! need a drink? no! need to empty your pee and poo hole? no! but math and every other class was "ok yes its good for you to drink when thristy and empty when full" but NEVER health class!
story 11 was funny when i was in elementary school we had to sit boy girl boy girl at lunch
That's how it was like when I was in first grade for some reason. It's so dumb bro
My school is not like these ones but man this kinds of schools
1. They are so much dumb
2. What’s the point of not having bottle of water or going to the bathroom
3. They can’t just do that to kids
0:01 i love age of empires
Nice
For me it was any sort of different shades/ stripes on treasures were banned and if you did wear them you would miss PE
Nowadays in the UK, if you're in secondary school, you're not allowed to wear shorts. Like, at all. Solid black trousers all day. And if you even dare wear the shorts. Bam. 40 minute after school detention. And they say boys can wear skirts, but when someone did that, they gave them a detention for it at my school. I started a protest against it and it got so bad that the government got involved. Yeah. The government. It got on a local newspaper and everything. So they said that in days that it was 25 degrees or more outside, you could come in wearing School PE kit.
there was a brief time during my year 9 where the people in an opt in program for phys ed, called advance (Where we did less phys ed, more stuff relating to tutoring and gardening) weren't allowed to wear the special jackets we purchased with the program, which were VASTLY superior to the default jackets the school had (We had a 'no wearing sports uniform outside of phys ed' rule)
They proceeded to revoke the jacket rule when all of us ignored it, I was one of the last to start in the ignorance thing, and unlike most of the student body I didn't go the full hog, just the jacket
This voice is giving me a major sense of the uncanny valley

Literally madam Umbridge from Harry Potter. Take the principal into the woods and have them kidnapped by centaurs.
The "smoked weed" one, I think you can sue the school or smth. Also you can sue for many of the other things. Hope y'all get lots of money back from them!
The hall pass one did you go to Tulare Union because that was my high school and we did that
Dumbest rule at my school is that at the start of the day, after break and after lunch we have to line up outside in our forms. We live in the uk so most of the year we are standing outside in the freezing cold and rain waiting for the extremely slow deputy head to let us in.
Ok... 24 had 2 good rules.... I think.... the "No girls and Boys in the same gym class" one is somewhat flexible at best in the right hands and easily adjustable for the right means and the "No going to school if you miss the bus one" is just an excuse to stay home during a school day. Otherwise: I'm surprised that school didn't get shut down sooner and the staff arrested.
Why did the video at 19:50 suddenly change to another topic hardly related to the actual video???
The dumbest school rule at my preschool back in 2018 was that we had to pray before we eat like I’ve been in here for like four hours and you’re saying I have to pray for 20 seconds before I have to eat my bagel!!!
For some reason a zero tolerance policy for silverware lmfao you’d pull a fork out and you’d get a suspension. Some kid probably stabbed somebody
Our High School got a new principal during my sophomore year. During spirit week, where we faced our schools rival in football, everyone was wearing our school colors, gold and maroon.
The principal then decided, against all logic, to ban any and all gold and maroon clothing. This included football and cheerleading uniforms.
Game day comes, and the principal is furious. Players and cheerleaders come to school in their uniforms, as per the standard practice, and he demands they all change, despite protests and explanations.
Game night: He makes the teams go back into the locker rooms and change out of their uniforms. When the team came to the field, they were immediately disqualified due to improper attire, which enraged the principal, who had to be told, by the refs, and district board director, Maroon and Gold were our school colors.
He still protested it was gang affiliated behavior, and the policy stayed for a month, costing the school every game that month
14:49 They are called LOCKers
24:12 is the teacher just embezzling
My elementary school: kindergarten teacher would not let me go to recess cause I forgot a jacket (it was about 60 degrees out)

How is that homophobic, I'm bisexual and I don't agree with that
Wow, that's the most homophobic thing I've ever heard, you deserve a full week of detention for that!
