The primary school I went to in Year 1 banned digital watches, only allow analogue watches. The reason why digital watches were banned, according to the really ranty assembly they delivered about the rules about watches "because they can be thrown". It was at that moment I realized, at age 5, that adults weren't necessarily very smart!
In my Middle School they Banned the following (with reasons) -Silly Bands (Kids were rolling dice for bands) -Hornets (Paper you fold a specific way- it stings when someone shoots it at you, rubber bands being the means to fire. - Cup Checking: The Boys would try and punch each other in the groin -Necking : slapping the back of someone’s neck as hard as you possibly could, banned because someone dislocated a vertebrae in a girl.
They tried to ban water bottles at school because they were being used as guns. They claimed it was a trip-and-fall hazard with the water puddles. Fair enough, except for two things... Here's the kicker, they still allowed ice, which melts into the water... i.e. the puddles. Plus, teachers just brought in water coolers and cups for the kids, so they have to go to the fountains.
The middle school and high school I used to go to had banned dodgeball (and its subsequent subsidiary games). Even after the rubber Voit balls were replaced by foam Voit balls and the walls in the gymnasium have been padded for safety, they still removed the infamous school game and I never found out why. (I only can guess some helicopter parents complained that the game was too “violent” for their kids.)
Senior prank was banned on my final year at high school. like half a class worth of kids did it anyways the teach was all happy about it but made them clean it all up and they didn’t walk but still graduated. also surprised it wasn’t worse than that. the prank was a beach theme since they were retiring the coming year and used Actual Sand
Pogs were banned at my elementary school, and many others I’m sure. It became really popular in the early 90s and on the playground you’d find small groups of kids playing with pogs. It got to be a problem though when they played for keeps then the kids that lost would run home and cry to their parents about it, so the school district simply banned them entirely.
Yep. I must be just a couple years younger than you because it was Pokemon cards for us and for the same reasons (I was born 1990). Kids were literally getting into fist fights at some schools over them and at my school they were just deemed to be way too much of a distraction along with the reasons you mentioned. We still brought them anyway and we had like a whole underground pokemon card black market going on, but it was pretty difficult to maintain due to it being a small secular private school with a much more involved/attentive faculty. Yeah personally I never really got into Pogs, although frankly I might have just been too young to care at the time. I had a couple cousins give me a few bags full of the things at some point, but I don't think I ever even opened them because they had recently since fallen out of style at my school rather abruptly, so they probably just sat in a box somewhere for a few years until they were likely tossed by my parents. They'd probably be worth some coin nowdays if I still had them lol. Anyhow I definitely recall seeing some older kids (like one to two grades ahead of me) always playing with them during lunch and recess or whatever when I was in like first and second grade. I remember being curious and going up and asking about them a couple times and trying to be included since I didn't have many friends only to be told to piss off on most occasions. I'm sure there might have been one or two instances where someone tried to explain some of it to me briefly, but I probably got distracted and quickly lost interest due to the fact that I had some like *real* bad ADD which remains ever present to this day 😆😅. Some would likely describe me as "eccentric", others might say I'm insufferable lol.
@@jaketheripper7385heh you’re about eight years younger than me. I can recall a couple of other things that got popular in school too but didn’t last nearly as long. There were yo-yos after some guy put on a show demonstrating all the tricks he could do. After that, kids started getting yo-yos and trying to pull off the same tricks myself included and typically failing. I don’t remember if they were actually banned or if interest in them just gradually faded. The other was those slap band bracelets. The kind that are straight and stiff but then wrap around the wrist when slapped on. Those were banned because kids would sometimes hit others with them pretty hard, and also when the cloth around them eventually tore off they would actually cause minor cuts on the skin.
@@doctorwyvern9992 Haha yep, I remember the slap bracelets and the yoyo boom of the late 90s/early 2000s. Funny you should mention that actually because I'm one of those guys who never really grew out of the yoyo craze. I got out of it for a LONG time but picked it up again briefly in my very early 20s, then left it once more until picking it up again a couple years ago. I've kept up with it since and I started collecting and throwing again. I've got some newer models but my favorites are the vintage responsive throws that were all the rage when I was a kid (Yomega, Duncan, Playmaxx Proyo/Profire series, etc.). I've got close to like 70 or so now and I'm always throwing and tinkering/modifying and such. I was able to get ahold of all the same yoyos that I had when I was in grade school, so those are always fun for some nostalgia when I need it. I still have all my holo Pokémon cards too lol. I used to have a whole binder full of them but I gave them to my secons cousin a few years ago when he was really getting into Pokémon. They were all from the original "151" and fossil series so they were true blue old school. He got a real kick out of them. I just kept all my holos since I was still kind of attached to them and some of them are worth decent money yet lol. I did have some doubles of some of them which I let him have, along with a couple rare promo cards like a mint ancient mew and that one other mew promo card that was given away at the box office for the first movie. I'm just glad he could enjoy them now.
the story of my childhood is similar , but even worse ; a group of crazy cultists that hate magic ( and transfusions ) infiltrates in the school thanks to their money and influence over the mayor staff , then starts to dictate their rules to others , and i was one of the few that opposed fiercely to them ( i'm neopagan and now skilled exotheryst ) , to make it brief , it was an hell of a school , but i never gave up and won , even if then the town started to treat as a madman .. and , to a certain point , they made an organized recess , i refused that and they menaced me ! if a post apocalyptic world like fallout will came and ( i'm also a prepper ) i will ( surely ) survive , i'll end what nukes has begun , they are too dangerous for existing ( i'm not joking , they was criminals ) p.s i live in italy , and do not get fooled by the good food and hills etc , if you look under the surface , you will find an hell disgiused as a paradise , except for the rural areas , they are ok , i moved on that
The one about candy necklaces horrified me. That candy tasted too good to be wasted that way! And candy necklaces are nowhere to be found now... I miss them
Every little "mom and pop" type specialty candy shop will ALWAYS have them, and the occasional convenience store/truck stop will still carry them as well. I'm 33 and I still love those damn things because I am perpetual fucking man-child at heart...
Story 12....i can sort of see where the teachers were coming from because while it was silly names and such...you were doing a lot of commom gang stuff minus the crimonal activies. The poster even said the kids went around constnstly doing the sign of their "group" so yeah i get why the teachers thought there was legit issues when you were doing things that are associated with said issues.
Story 8, during my high school I knew like 7 ppl selling candy, after a few weeks ppl got trouble for doing it which sucked because during this time the vending machines were only selling healthy food. I’m sure one of those kids are doing successful in life making money
On the story about one kid and his family causing untold issues in a school district, that family should have been told off and instructed to move if they did not like the district's policies rather than kowtowing to them even once which only emboldened them to keep be pains in the butt.
@@moosterpeckle Yes really. I am not allowed to say exactly what part of a female it is, but you can see it with some of the skirt options. Utah also banned a certain website ending with Hub.
I'm more inclined to believe that rather than being bored with school because he wasn't being challenged enough, Justin was simply a jerk who was either bored with school because it's school, or just didn't care about school.
For that last story if I was a parent I'd go to the press (actually for a lot of these I'd go to the press) see how the community and local gov't likes you now Mr. Principal
X-Men trading cards. The principal said they were “too violent”. So the boys started trading baseball cards, and Lo and behold the principal banned those as well. One of the boys joked and said “Oh, they’re probably ’too violent’! Look at the bad man attacking the poor ball with a bat!”
Advice to any person that make those rules. Make it clear for autistic students. Because they might come the idea the person get deleted. And whole breed of dog get deleted by having it head removed.
i remember when i was in primary school and i got these really fake pokemon cards from greece i think it was and then when i got back to school i started trading these fake cards to these first and second grades who knew nothing and then someone told teachers and then it got banned to take pokemon cards to school LOL
Your entire grade can't come to school unless for exams. Later, why did the entire class fail? What did you teach? Nothing, we told them all not to go to school.

Cup checking doesn't need to be banned.... it's already seggsual a§§ault
The first 2 seem stupid to ban. The last 2 are completely understandable.

Last story feels like it's setting up the school to be sued for denying kids _food_
That's what I was thinking.
Spandex. In a Detroit public school. Where there were once nine recorded gun related incidents... But yeah doctor Porter spandex is the problem

POGs because someone lost $200 worth of them in middle school.
They banned cell phones in all NZ public schools due to the dropping level of intelligence level of pupils........Best idea ever..
At the school I clean, Pokemon Go was banned bc of pornography. The latest updates allowed to see openings on the avatar that players shouldn’t see.
