Something strange that we had at my elementary school was this one day event in third grade called "Said is Dead". Basically, the whole point was to stop using the word "said" in our sentences when we were writing dialogue, and to use more creative words like "replied" or "yelled". But we treated it like a funeral. All of the classrooms are decorated with black and we had to wear black clothes as if we were going to a funeral. We even had a short memorial service for the word. Looking back on it, it was pretty strange..

Also kids have other things to do after school, even elementary school kids. Chores, going with mom while she runs errands, watching your siblings, hopefully having a social life where you play with other kids outside (which is essential for child development), maybe doing extra curricular activities, etc. I think schools have this weird idea that most kids just stare at a wall and do nothing once they come home from school.

In Australia we had a rule that was “No hat no play” which basically meant you had to watch everyone running around and having fun while you had to sit in the undercover areas and the worst part was that it wasn’t even always enforced or it was enforced on some kids and not enforced on other kids it also especially sucked if all your friends had their hats and they would just ditch you to go play somewhere else

One thing about Elementary School that I found weird is how they don’t really seem to care what books you read from the library as long as they either look like kids books or are popular with kids. I was reading books about politics, bigotry, war, trauma, forbidden romance and death by the third grade. The book series in question were Harry Potter, Animorphs and Warriors. Needless to say YA fiction became my niche afterwards. Fun Fact: The Wings of Fire series of kids books *starts* with an infanticide and a homicide!

Keep in mind that this book is over a century old, and they had *two* full on transitions with the same character. One as part of the backstory and another as part of the main plot. She’s also implied to have a crush on Dorothy, and are depicted kissing but it’s portrayed as platonic.

My old school nurse would LIE about calling your parents when you were sick. She would literally just say “hello, is this _______ parent. He says he feels sick, can you pick him up” to the phone without having anyone on the other line. Plus she would always be like “I’m so sorry but your mum says you have to stay in school”.

In fourth grade, I apparently was rapidly improving playing the recorder and when my music teacher was talking to my mom, she told her that I should start taking private music lessons to prepare for the middle school music classes. I wanted to take vocal lessons, my mom said she wasn't wasting money on that, then forced me to play an instrument I had no interest in and didn't like from fourth grade to half way through eighth grade. Almost had to beg her to let me quit. On the bright side, I did have the courage to join the choir class in eighth grade and just didn't tell my mom until the school year started. Still in choir as a senior in high school. So what was the waste of money now?

[@jammintime4430]

One thing I remember from elementary school that seemed normal but was actually really weird: There was like an extra class I went to. It was just a small group and the teacher would have the class repeat this saying at the start of this class that goes like: "Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought him back." I remember arguing with my dad that that is how the saying really goes and my dad thought it was totally ridiculous. Now looking back I can understand why he thought that and I have no clue why my teacher felt like she needed to engrave this idea into our minds.

[@annaburns2865]

As a substitute teacher, I don’t understand why most of these things were done. But I do agree with the whole “placebo for a dramatic kid” when referring to the ice water in the paper towel. It’s actually really funny seeing how self-important all these school nurses act when that is literally all they do. Unless they have to call the parent because the child has to get picked up to go to the doctor or another nurse at the hospital. So weird. His next video should be about the medical fields/hospitals because I understand their rules even less than schools.

[@slay9468]

Another thing about the bathrooms, the teachers are always like “Why do you have to go now? You should have gone during lunch.” EXCUSE ME. We are EATING during lunch, and then the food has to have time to DIGEST. Also, I HAVE TO GO. Would you rather I just stay there? Like what if I got my period? Do I have to wait another 42 minutes until Spanish Class is over and we have our 5 minute passing period to go put a pad on? It takes like two minutes to go to the bathroom. I think I can miss what ‘son las dos menos cuarto’ means. I think I would learn that by the next class anyway.

Just a fun story from elementary school, so one day we were doing a tornado drill, and then later that day the tornado warning alarms actually went off for real.

[@isitsweet9567]

I remember always being frustrated because the size difference between me and the other kids skewed the results of those tests. At adult height I am just shy of five feet tall. In elementary school, the difference was even more pronounced because I was technically born a month after the age cutoff, while many kids had been red-shirted and I think the average classmate was nine or ten months older than me, many being over a year and the oldest almost two years older. Also, it was a taller-than-average neighborhood to begin with. The combined effects resulted in me having a few classmates as early as third grade who were already a reasonable adult height, taller than I'll ever be. Consequently I was always last in the mile run, even though I probably would have scored solidly in the middle if I was raced against a group of kids whose legs were the same length as mine. Just sayin'.

[@Descender98]

My first two years of elementary were technically at a glorified daycare, so it came as quite a shock in third grade that I wouldn’t be able to decide, “I don’t wanna learn about this boring science stuff, I’m gonna go to our library corner and read a book.” Thankfully, my teacher that year was also an avid bookworm, so I didn’t get into *too* much trouble for that.

A SINGLE ONE. Not two for both arms, one. She would switch it back and forth between wrists while waiting for my parents to arrive. When she had called my mom she was like “So it seems like she got hurt on her school trip and is now shedding a lot of crocodile tears.” I’m so glad that my nurses from middle school were so much better, dunno about high school yet, haven’t been in their office.

This is kinda stupid, but hey. Since i'm here, vote for me i guess." I didn't win (because essentially no one knew i was running), but I think i stole enough votes from one candidate to let another candidate win, or at least i have a vague memory of being confronted by losing candidate afterward about that and just assume that's what happen since I don't trust the details of that memory.

And another time, this girl fell backwards off one of those large net swings and managed to, like, crack her head open. Both times, an ambulance was called, but since there was some distance between the hospital and our school, it took a while for the ambulance to get there. So what did the teachers do?

When my brother was in 5th grade (sixth year primary/ 10-11 years old) he was dared to use parts of the older unused recess equipment since he was pretty good a doing things smaller kids were too scared to do (because he was already like 5ft 7-ish). One time he got dared to climb on this really old chain linked wall climber at recess during the spring and went up and came back down with ease. Well then a friend of his asked to race him to the top, so then a bunch of kids gathered around to watch them race to see who could climb up one side and down the other the fastest; so they start and a teacher came over to supervise. Well my brother has big feet to go with his big body so about most of the way up the wall he gets his right foot stuck in one of the chain foot holds, panics and looses hold of the bar at the top and falls off with his foot still stuck in the chains and the right side of his body slams into the support beam and a few links broke as he fell so now he’s swinging from the chain wall upside down, his head like 3-4 inches from the ground and all the kids and the friend freeze in shock. The teacher runs to my brother and asks him if he’s okay, his response is “uhm idk” and he tries to pull himself up the support beam to move his foot out of the chain and his friend carefully scoots over to help him, but my brother tells him not to and so his friend jumps to the ground and has the teacher help him hold my brother up, after a few seconds my brother manages to untie his shoe and asks them to lower him down once gets his foot out of his shoe and he get clumsily lowered to the ground and the nurse comes out (she’d been called by another teacher who was supervising recess) and checks him over, the nurse and the friend help him stand up and he complains that his thigh hurts, so the nurse asks him to roll up the end of his shorts to show her where it hurts; and there’s already a huge red mark and a cut (presumably from one of the broken chain links) in his leg, she has the teacher run for a wheelchair and has the other teacher call the office to contact our mom and his dad. He needed a few stitches and wasn’t aloud to continue soccer that year (he still sat at games though). Needless to say my mom was so upset/pissed and the school removed the chain climbing wall 😬

[@clairethewolf6980]

Alright, I have a few stories about my middle school(if you care to read all of them). First, my annoying dress code. We had one of the ugliest shirt and pants for dress code. The only redeeming article of clothing was the skirt. But, they just couldn’t make up their minds! People would get in trouble for wearing the SCHOOL SKIRT. The skirt SOLD by the SCHOOL! My sister literally got ask once if she was wearing shorts under her skirt once. Like, why doesn’t the school just sell skirts with built in shorts instead of expecting the kids to magically know they should wear shorts??? The second is recess. Depending on your grade level, they’d host outdoor recess with certain grades on one side of the recess area and split another group of grades on the other. Depending on which side your class is on would decide whether you get to play soccer on the soccer field or not. Also, depending on which side you were on decided the recess equipment you got. They left it all on one side, didn’t really bother to move some over to the other side. I don’t know if anyone else’s school had this, but mines had fun Friday. For like an hour before school ended on Fridays, my teachers would allow the students to play or they’d put on a movie to watch. But with that being said, fun Friday could also be taken away. If the class, full of energetic kids, was not behaving up to par, there would be no fun Friday. And there was always that one kid that ruined it. If you were that kid, then you’d be someone with a lot of enemies. And the teacher always seemed to nick pick. Even if everyone else was completely silent, they’d still take it away because of that one kid. Like, they were the reason kids had grudges against each other. My biggest pet peeves were silent lunch. For some reason, they wanted to do announcements during lunch time. And you know how lunch is. Your sitting down, eatings and chatting with your friends. But no, they wanted silence during the announcements. They wanted a group of kids, sitting and enjoying their lunch with their friends, the be completely silence for, what they called, five minutes(definitely didn’t feel like five minutes). If the lunch room wasn’t quite, they’d give out silent lunch. Which men’t, assigned seats, and you weren’t suppose to talk. It was the most sad and dead lunch on those days. Though, if you and your friends were right behind each other in the line, you could maybe get assigned a seat next to each other. *if you made it to the end, then thanks for actually reading my comment :>*

7:25 it’s been a while but I took a “library assistant” class in middle school(it was pretty much an unpaid job at the library now that I think about it), the Dewey decimal system allows the librarians to keep the books organized with ease so it’s easier for patrons to find books based on subject.

Book covers: Fully agree Class pets: Agree too and even when they're in the classroom they're typically mistreated Balls on chairs: Fully agree Talent shows: Fully agree Scissors: Fully agree Start times: It makes sense to have early start times for elementary students because they're younger and haven't yet been affected by the circadian rhythm shift that occurs during puberty but definitely middle school and high school should have later start times. Test dividers: Agree and also they didn't even really work you could still peek around them sometimes. In fact they may even incentivize cheating more since you can use them to look at notes without the teacher realizing as readily. Spelling tests: Fully agree Science fairs: I mean yeah most of the experiments the kids did were not really useful for life in the long run but at least they were fun Bathroom passes: I agree it is unsanitary, there's only a limited number of them and students might lose them. I think the more practical way to keep students accountable for bathroom breaks is to make them sign a check out sheet and keep track of how long and how often they leave using it. Field trips: Yeah I agree the way they relied on parent volunteers to chaperone was sort of irresponsible they should at least vet the people they choose to chaperone trips. Yearbooks: I didn't even get yearbooks until middle school, but yeah. Recorders in music class: I agree, I get the reasons they choose recorders because they're cheap and easy to play but I feel like there are better alternatives for instruments to get the students to try for their first instrument. Recorders sound horrible. I've heard some schools use ukuleles instead, this sounds much better imo. Q & U wedding: I didn't know that was a thing, it does sound ridiculous though. Scholastic book fairs: Fully agree School fundraisers: Fully agree also it's super creepy and dangerous to expect kids to go sell things at people's houses... Nap time: Agree going back to your previous point about the start times either they need to start middle school and high school later or they need to include nap time in the schedules Assigned seats: I know kids don't really like it but looking at it from an adult/potential teacher perspective, I understand why this is important. It helps keep the class more structured and not as chaotic as it would be if you just let students sit wherever they want. If you just let them sit wherever they want they will just sit next to their friends, be super chatty and not get anything done and this also disrupts the entire class even if it's just a few students doing it. Yeah it's not good if you're next to someone you don't get along with but in that circumstance the student should request that the teacher change their seat and explain why. I know if I were the teacher I'd be understanding and change the student's seat if that's the situation. School nurses: Agreed I think school nurses are a great idea but they should be able to do more things. Detention: Yeah I think detention in elementary school (keeping a kid inside during recess like you're describing) is cruel and unusual punishment. There are other ways to deal with misbehaving students. Then by the time you get into middle school and high school I feel like detention is just sort of pointless because it's not even really a punishment, you just stay after school and do homework that you would've had to do anyway at home... Lining up to go down the hallway: Like another commenter said yes kids are really bad a logistics and you need to have some way to keep them under control so that they go where they need to go. So for that reason I understand the point of lines. Physical fitness tests: Fully agree Blue paper towels: Not familiar with those but it sounds like the concept of using them was similar to using ice packs. Story time: Fully agree Graphing calculators: Fully agree Tetherball: I actually enjoyed those maybe I was just a weird kid School uniforms: Never had them but I feel sorry for those who did School libraries: Fully agree Fire drills: Fully agree Spelling bees: Fully agree No air conditioning: Fully agree Class presidents: Fully agree it's really just a popularity contest

Nurse read temp wrong to my mom and said it was a 105.0°F when it was 100.5°F 3. Threw up during recess, she did nothing. No silent reading, just group reading in school. The behavior sticker rewards(if good you get a sticker, if not then no sticker) Had to pick a book every week(I ended getting about 15 books, couldn't read them all and put them back) Fun fact: I asked if I could go to the bathroom (I really needed to go) teacher denyed me, so I ended up doing the chair. I was 3rd grade. Because I couldn't go and another student was out. I even said it was urgent. (More will be added soon possibly) Got questions? Ask away.

I'm so glad that the teachers that did enforce assigned seats for high school at least, waited a month before assigning them. They'd let you sit wherever you wanted and that's usually by friends. Then after the month they'd assign seats. Anyone who got distracted by a friend and wasn't able to do the work was seperated to some extent and if you were able to still do the work even around your friend or help each other when needed they'd keep you together. At least then there's some planning and merite to the assigned seats

[@febetoons]

As a high schooler in a school that DOES start later (9:30) the reason most schools don’t do this is because the timing, while ideal for when students should wake up, is also worse because we are spending even less time at home a w a k e since we have to get at least 7 hours of school (9:30-4:18, goes until 5:10 for clubs and 7 or 8 for sports) then go home, do your graded homework, and by the time you finish it’ll be like 2 am in the morning (depending on how productive you were and how much work there was to complete) and then you have to go to bed and wake up at either 6 or 8 just to get to school on time (6 is for sports). TL;DR Waking up later would be ideal but it’ll only work in a situation where school isn’t 7 hours long or if there was an asynchronous work day because otherwise it would ruin your social life + home life We’ve actually had this discussion multiple times in my history class lol

[@aliylah_.]

When I was in elementary school we had like these so called, “lunch ladies”. They had like sauces in their apron. They also had utensils. And a pair of scissors to open the sauce (they are adults). And the funny thing is, they make 4 students clean 4 15 feet long tables. Yet during lunch all they did was grab a paper towel and wipe things. That’s it. Another dumb thing the school did was like we had to listen to music in the middle of lunch and we weren’t allowed to talk. We could only eat. And I think all of the students left the school with no ear drums.
