I heard most school districts are now implementing security cameras in every classroom to combat false SA allegations by students who don't like their teachers. Kids are hell and don't understand the repercussions of their actions.

[@travelbymagic5889]

High school teacher here. 😊 There are schools that don’t allow cell phones, but most still do. As a teacher, it’s impossible to combat them. Statistically phones have been proven to impact student learning immensely. It also leads to a whole other host of problems like kids texting to meet up to fight, to film fights, to meet up to smoke weed, etc. Schools try to ban them, but surprisingly parents are the biggest hurdle in getting bans to go through. As for the hat issue, hats are another security issue. Many schools (high schools at least) are equipped with cameras. It is hard to identify people when they have hats or hoods on. For reference, I work at a high school celebrating its 100th year and has a student body of about 3,300.

[@AHHHHHH107]

I would be all for removing phones IF the US didnt have such a major issue of shootingings. I graduated a few years ago but my school had I think 3 active shooter lockdowns. I was scared bur was able to contact my mom, keep her informed, and told her I loved her just incase.

By fourth grade when she still cried every day we finally decided it was never going to go away and started homeschooling. (She did not have a bully or anything like that, she was just overwhelmed by all the noise and all the people. (No autism according to doctors and therapists, just anxiety.)

It used to be considered improper to wear a hat inside. "According to the etiquette experts over at the Emily Post Institute, the act of removing your hat indoors is a longtime sign of respect. In fact, it probably began with medieval knights. The Institute writes that back in Medieval Europe, any knight who failed to remove his helmet or lift his visor to identify himself could face fatal consequences."

[@numberyellow]

In a lot of circles, it still is considered improper or impolite to wear a hat indoors. Additionally, in the military you're taught to remove your cover (hat) indoors (unless certain conditions exist).

As far as the video at 3:50 with all the paper being thrown. I went to High School near Seattle in the late 2000s and early 2010s before Tik Tok, (I still had a Myspace most of HS), my school actually allowed this for Seniors on the last day (seniors finished like a week before the rest of the school). I had a school of around 1,400 students, senior class was multiple hundred. They would bring extra janitors in that day, and at the end of all the classes hundreds of notebooks binders and books are thrown from all the seniors across the school (primarily near the cafeteria) and music would play and everyone would say goodbye. It was an absolute MESS but in MY case we were actually allowed to do it and it was kind of a right of passage to say goodbye. I remember wading through almost waist high paper and books and taking my last photos with friends with papers flying in the background. It definitely changes things and sucks if the school doesn't prepare for the staff to clean, however it was definitely a strong, wonderful core memory of ours in my case.

That fart was actually pretty hilarious! There was the initial squeaker followed by a low gurgle 😂😂

[@radsadmaddie]

I was told that the reason you can't wear a hat to school nowadays is because it's quote "easier to identify people" and I can see the reasoning behind that, but I also think it probably started as an etiquette thing back in the day.

[@martibee8984]

The respect part probably still hits with plenty of teachers, but I wouldn't be surprised if identifying people is the main reason schools keep it in effect.

[@elbolsillo]

It’s the way someone says, “wait” when feigning being surprised that tells me whatever video it is, is fake.

[@PurpleRose8725]

Kids climbing the fence on the First day: 2 of mine made it over and one bolted. A teacher had to jump in her car to find him almost a block away. 🤦‍♀️

[@funnytastingmilk]

1:58 I used to hook ppls backpack straps to the fire alarm for full anonymity

[@paddington1670]

mrs lush is the best. we love her

[@TheTrollTrollyYeti]

The no back pack day is probably part of a spirit week going into a homecoming game and dance. Had them in HS as well.

[@timothyallen3752]

12:33 One reason for not allowing hats is that it adds one more clothing item to watch for inappropriate messages. Also, it can make it difficult to identify students on security cameras, and being able to identify students on camera can be a safety thing. Another reason is that it can lead to behavior issues--students taking the hats, throwing the hat off an upper level, tossing hats around the classroom or hall, etc. Many schools just find it easier to take away the temptation by not allowing hats at all.

[@Mama_Bear524]

Ok fair enough. I was really annoyed about it for my kids because it seemed so archaic. But this makes total sense. Thanks for the explanation.

[@reefermadness6758]

13:20 it's military rules to have your head covered when outside but to remove your cover when entering a building. It's just about respect. The same as not wearing a hat while praying. It's to show respect and reverence.

[@alexandraashley]

I used to teach in a private school and they had cameras in every classroom, but they weren’t secret or hidden. All the students knew there were cameras.

[@UFEDUC3]

I think the no hat in church situation comes from the old world when, hats/headdress were status symbols and they'd remove them in temple/church as a way to say no one has any standing before god or something like that.

[@redwiltshire1816]

We made ever supply teacher quit and bribed most the staff comprehensive school was so easy ngl

[@MeekoButterbean]

4:53 the censored foot got me 😂

[@twistedalicemcgee]

You'd be surprised. I didn't send my daughter to preschool (and her teachers kept asking what preschool she went to because she was so well educated) and she did perfectly fine starting school!!! She was, in fact, excited!!

[@adamjsd]

just so everyone knows, the hat rule isn’t about respect anymore. its more for easily identifying people in the security cameras.

[@Salt_Miser]

The rule of the hat is mad up to c who cannot comply with the lowest level of arbitrary rules to weed out the uncontrollables

[@VoidStaredBack]

the cavalcade of paper I remember, the last day of school that seniors didn't skip they threw the contents of their lockers on the ground and left it there. It got friggin' gross with the food leftovers...

[@GenLazer06]

I was lucky enough to go to a private school BUT.. if you called our awesome nun ladies without Mother, or Sister before their first names you would be in trouble! (I never disrespected the ladies ever..)All of the teachers told us to call them by their first names.. EXCEPT Mr. R! He literally would have a scary moment if anyone called him by his first name. Guess who did, and found out? ME! I never did it again. I have to add that Mr. R (Not his real last name of course.) Made my life a living HELL my entire 9th year. It didn't help that we only had 12 students in our class. Decades later, and I still remember you Mr. R. I hope you fealt good about singling out a 14 year old kid!

[@martibee8984]

Some teachers should have chose a different profession, or at the least, switched when they realized they didn't like kids.

[@Mama_Bear524]

Also went to a private school. For me, my nemesis was miss D (dead and gone now) and Ms DT. The latter singled me out too. First year of high school in the cafeteria in front of everyone. So embarrassing.

[@harve1138]

I graduated in 2002 so needless to say I'm old. But we did a no backpack day during school pride week along with hippie day, pajama day, and other themes. So I'm pretty sure it's been around for a while I never really thought of it.

[@Col3t_Train]

We did the paper thing at my school! It was asked of students to help clean up if they could.

[@RandomBogey]

2:10 Leon sneaks away from the kitchen table to poke the test button on the smoke alarm and yells “oh no, mom, there’s a fire” and runs out of the house to get out of homeschool tests

[@Justafewanimals]

When I was an 8th grade middle school teacher, a student reported their phone was stolen, so several of us teachers decided to try and find it figuring that it was stashed somewhere. A couple female teachers checked the girl’s restroom, and they found a vibrator wrapped in a wash cloth in a plastic shopping bag in the ceiling above a stall. The phone was found in the boy’s restroom in the ceiling.

[@notonthelist1]

The schools where I live have cameras in the classrooms and hallways.

[@shanethrelfall416]

Great selection of clips today Very upbeat and interesting Well done to the team behind the scenes 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Mashy8722]

4:37 brooo that first day of school looks WILD. I’ve never seen a first day like THAT. Wut the hell they doin to them kids in there??! 😂

[@anthonymerchant2597]

At my high school, we called all of our teachers by their first names. They worked differently than typical public high school, where it worked more like college. It totally depended on us on how quickly we wanted to graduate. I also graduated in 1999, so things were different then, and I know I'm old.

[@Brandon84J]

The guy that pulled the fire alarm definitely filmed his crime
