A teacher caught some seniors watching adult entertainment on their phones, so instead of punishing the group of 3 people, they punished everyone but them. The school banned phones for everyone except seniors. Saying people were upset would be an understatement.

My senior year of high school it got to a point where they banned the 15 minute break periods for the rest of the year because one day 3 fights happened within a 5 minute span of a single break time.

[@SaraMarie41]

Water bottles were attempted to be banned in my middle school due to a potential slip and fall risk. One issue was that ice was still permitted, and since ice melts into water, it presents a risk of slip and fall. The rule, especially when it got hot, annoyed the professors. They therefore just added water coolers to their classrooms.

At my school we weren't allowed to wear hats of any kind because they thought it would be associated with gangs. We lived in a tiny rural logging town so gangs were not a problem. It kinda sucked because it was nice having a beanie for when it got below freezing. No hoods either, even if it was raining.

[@benschultz1784]

The obsession of rural, white bread school districts with their students becoming involved with inner city gangs is just plain weird.

​@@benschultz1784the same was true of my freaking elementary school, which was about as white as it could be.

Fining kids seems more of a punishment for the parents than the kids.

[@SmoothCriminal69]

My high school tried to ban quite a few things. I'll list a few of the items along with the reasons why the bans were reverted: Personal electronics: a student had a medical episode while the teacher was using the restroom & nearly died because nobody could call 911 Jackets & coats: During the winter, several students had their jackets taken away after a student was found hiding a knife in his jacket. 3 kids had to go to the nurse while waiting for their buses because of the cold weather. We were given our jackets back the next day. Candy canes: The school didn't ban them because people would use them as weapons, but because they thought it had a religious reason behind it. The ban lasted for 3 days after everyone (teachers included) protested against the ban. Backpacks: students were using other creative ways to bring their things to school to protest against the ban. I think the last straw was when a student brought a whole shopping cart with him. Lunches from home: for whatever reason, our school didn't like it when students brought their own food from home or from restaurants, so the banned food from home. This ban lasted quite a while & some students who couldn't afford school food would go home starving. I did my best to help some of those students by buying lunches for them. The ban ended when a kid passed out from malnutrition because his family was unable to provide food.

Masks, the kind you wear for Halloween and crap. But the reason they got banned was because of me. I wore them around school my freshman year in high school and in junior year, they got "banned". It didn't stop others from wearing them, especially at pep rallies, Halloween events, or even casually.

[@deadguyfromlost3776]

My middle school banned pencils because students doing the Charlie Charlie challenge and pulling the fire alarm when the pencil pointed to “yes”.

[@jorgegonzalezavila9376]

That one must have been absolutely hysterical. I don't know what's funnier, the mental image of a middle school kid pulling the fire alarm “because a ghost told them to” or the idea of banning _pencils_ in a _school._

[@colinmoore7460]

Novelty pens. Ones of certain...adult...shapes. They were popular with the girls, for some reason, (before the ban obviously). This was the late 1970's to early 1980's.

[@karituurihalme1007]

I have been wondering if banning guns in school instead of backbags would work better to reduce gun violence in school.

[@cartooncass1726]

My school banned their own house colors. We had 4 houses think Harry Potter but it was just randomly selected and it had no influences on the classrooms, also every Friday we’d have to wear our house uniform which was color coded. This was during the time in Thailand when the red shirts and the yellow shirts, which true to there name wore yellow and red shirts, were in a civil war. Both sides of the fighting had been known for unlifing each other, so the school figured banning the yellow and red houses from wearing there colors would be the best option, the green and blue could do what they liked. Not really stupid per say, it would have been stupider to not ban it but it sure was a weird and frankly scary time.

[@GymbalLock]

15:29 my high school didn't give us enough time between classes, because one day the principal walked all the way across campus and timed himself, and decided that was ample time for anyone to change classes. What he forgot was that some people have to go across campus to their locker and then all the way back, doubling the distance. Myself, I had all of my classes on one side of the school, and my locker on the opposite side. The student parking lot was closer, so I just used my car as my locker. My assigned school locker was never opened once in two years.

[@asadfarraj]

You know, listening to these made me realise just how strict my school really was. We had an extremely strict dress code. No accessories, no wearables, no stickers, no custom backpacks, no personal nothing. Of course, this is in India so no smartphones/laptops as well, but personally I don't care about that. We had tomwear a uniform dress to school. Only black/grey bags were allowed. No watches, wristbands, earrings, etc of any sort. Boys had to have their hair in a particular way, swept a certain direction, heck even the necessary distance between the hairline and ears/eyebrows was checked. What if you had curly hair? Suffer. That's what. Same thing for girls - a maximum AND minimum length of hair, only straight and side swept - no bangs, ties, knots, whatever. There was a separate room where the firls had to go to ever day, where the length of their skirts was measured. But, but okay, Asia, right? Strictness is normalised. It's common at least. But then, at my last year, the school banned WEB BROWSERS AND INTERNET. On a WEB DEVELOPMENT class. Tons of students failed half-yearly tests, and it was only revoked when they stormed the principal's office in protest. Whatwere they thinking?

[@Kirjava88]

Handstands, because one girl landed on her metal hairband. It lasted two days before some parents yelled at the head (can't remember which one) about how dumb it was. They also banned a game because a kid in a different school broke their arm. Nobody knew what it was in our school and nobody tried it till it was banned because suddenly everyone was told what it was. I think we went to the worst primary school (age 5-11) in the town because it was connected to the best secondary school (age 11-16). This school had a teacher throw a chair through a window, and the headmistress got slapped (she deserved it and was better behaved after) by another teacher.

[@michaelnilio6746]

In my senior year of high school, the administrators made a rule where if you were late to class, you were to report to ISS for the period(even if you were standing right outside your designated classroom).

[@breakinganddecorating8108]

Because of my mother's senior class (class of '76), my high school lost the ability to have a Senior Trip. That class ended up with several end of the year expulsions because of drunken debauchery in NYC (including involving adult entertainment and S-x workers in Times Square). After that, nobody got a trip for 20+ years. If anyone asked, the answer from the staff - especially the older staff members - was "Go ask your dad/mom/grandparents" or "ask {classmate's} parent/grandparent."

[@Goldenwhitewings]

In my current school we get a hour detention for touching each others uniforms

[@edwardellis5417]

Like my father always said, "send a normal kid to college and they send you back someone with no command sense."

[@jorgegonzalezavila9376]

My school banned wearing the same clothes two days in a row. Yes, seriously. The reason behind that one was mostly to prevent a group of marijuana addicts from reeking of weed and other side effects of poor personal hygiene, but what if someone literally can't afford different sets of clothes for each day? I myself had a bone to pick with that particular rule, since I have multiple copies of the same outfit and it looks like I'm wearing the same thing when I'm technically not, but still got in trouble anyway. Then they tried enforcing it for accessories and a friend of mine straight-up filed a complaint to my country's equivalent of a school board (which is a branch of the regional government, mind you), claiming that they couldn't prevent her from wearing her favorite hairband because it was “part of her personal identity” or something like that, and messing with someone's sense of identity is a *massive* no-no over here. Needless to say, things got really out of hand really fast.

[@kitty_catra]

List of things my school has banned: Greeting your friend by slapping or punching him in the balls Any colour on your shoe (you won't be able to enter the school premises if you shoes arent all black) Energy drinks (then the kids started a monster smuggling ring) Wearing leggings Jackets (unless it's the crappy school jacket thats 35 euros) Wearing colourful sock (only if you are wearing a skirt, you can only wear black or white) Phones (we were allowed to have them during covid) Eating during class Going upstairs during lunch time Using the bathroom just after or before breaks There are some more but eh Some of these don't seem stupid but I go to a opportunity school (it was either here or a convent) and it's because the Principal wants us to look professional, we literally are an opportunity school nobody expects us to look good He needs to worry more about the actual problem (I will talk about the crazy stuff that has happened if anyone wants to hear, I personally don't think its that crazy but my cousins do)

[@BizzyJ1987]

My high school years were 2002-2006 and here's what was banned: excessive facial piercings, excessive facial hair (cause it makes students look old), no shirts with suggestive writing or designs, and shirts that are low cut or revealing. This didn't matter to everyone since they would still disobey the rules.

[@AnderKCAndra]

I never used a locker in High school but apparently anybody who did had to share it with someone else called a “locker buddy” which wouldn’t necessarily be a problem except if your locker buddy brought drugs or a weapon and had it in the locker and you didn’t know and admin or the school resource officer found it during one of the searches, your ass was also in so much trouble. Didn’t matter if it wasn’t yours.

[@polyacov_yury]

I can't begin to imagine how much your head would EXPLODE if you heard the rules on school uniform here in Russia. Everyone is only allowed to wear white dress shirts as a top, optionally with a suit jacket or a waist coat on top. Bottom? Black trousers. Or a black midi+ skirt, if you're a girl. T-shirts, even white? Banned. Jeans? Banned. Sweat pants? Banned. Anything and everything else is banned. The only freedoms allowed are accessories, a hoodie or a sweater if you're cold (although frowned upon) and maybe a haircut. One of my schools (undiagnosed ADHD/autism, long story) once tried forcing us to buy chevrons and sew them on every dress shirt AND SWEATER we would wear at school. One was provided for free, others you'd have to buy. One safety pin later, and the amount of daggers stared at me for wearing it like a medal on my chest but not technically violating the requirement could kill an adult red dragon just by sheer weight lol. I swear, the amount of liberation I felt when I wore a T-shirt to my first class at uni..

[@DieHardAnimeOtaku15]

Powder puff football was nearly banned because two girls almost got into a fight during a game. Also, water bottles were banned for a time in HS because kids were sneaking in alcohol.

My time to shine! This took place in 6th grade or so, so I was around 11-12 years old. I always carried my keys around my neck on one of those key necklaces made of fabric, if you know what I mean. Oftentimes, when I was bored, I used to swing that sucker around and giggle at the things I could do with it. One day, we had to wait in front of a classroom for a teacher to open the room for us as it was locked - this was also a rule that, concerning certain classrooms, we had to wait for a teacher to let us in so we wouldn't be unsupervised in it, this mainly concerned the Chemistry, Physics and Biology classrooms though this one was a standard room that just happened to be locked. So I stood there, bored out of my mind, and decided to start swinging my keys around again. It went well for a bit until it didn't, and I accidentally smacked the class clown in the face with my keys. He, of course, started to cry from the pain, and I got heavily scolded from a teacher (can't remember which one, this whole thing happened like almost a decade ago). Afterwards, we were informed that these key bands were now banned due to the threat they imposed which, fair, if you're a stupid kid like I used to be and partially still am, that's an understandable consequence. Though for the others, I imagine it wasn't all too convenient. This whole incident didn't help my already low reputation amongst my fellow classmates either and I only sank further down and got bullied even more. The joys of being a dumb pre-teen.

[@chrisray7728]

When I went through school the list of banned items included, but was not limited to, tech decks, pagers, game boys, silly putty, play dough, electric joke pens from Spencer, playing cards, Pokémon cards, metal jewelry, contact lenses, hoodies, hats, coats (unless temperatures were under 20f) overly “faddish” eyeglasses, color contacts, hi vis clothing (unless you were crossing guard for JROTC), the general concept of martial arts, steel toed boots, cars, non assigned reading material, overly expressive shirts, soda (unless purchased from the school vending machine, which charged 7 bucks for a 20oz bottle) plastic novelties, unspecified objects subject to teacher’s interpretation. Why? According to the principal “you can’t do those things because of 9/11. You know what wasn’t banned? Rifles during hunting season.

[@valerieeslick6324]

When I was a freshman my locker was at one end of the school and my first hour class was at the opposite end and we only had a 5 minute passing period and the halls were cramped. It makes me wonder if these administrators have forgotten what it is like to be a student in school

It was Pokemon cards in my grade school. Kids still snuck them in though. In my collage though you couldn't play Yugioh, Magic the Gathering, and other games like that because they assumed we were gambling, but it was okay for another group of students to play poker.

During my freshman year in high school, the senior prank was: they smeared Vaseline all over the lockers and popped balloons that were filled with glitter. Some were popped in the computer room. The principal tried to get the seniors to replace the "damages." In my sophomore year, someone covered the Christmas tree in condoms during lunch break.

I got the banned list banned when I was a senior. I did two things: I shared the banned things list via facebook. The schooldirector tried to force me to take my post down, because the school got so much flack/ridicule so I... dubbled down and shared my favorite banned thing of the day. I went on for at least 65 days straight and still had items left... when the school officially 'reconsidered' the necessity having a baned items list. :D

[@achimsinn6189]

The one in our school was my classes fault. We were having a anual school celebration where every class was showing off a class project. One year ours was the ghost house - it was kind of a tradition that one of the senior classes would get to set up the ghost house and that was some kind of inofficial honor that was given out as a reward. Also setting up the ghost house meant we were competing with the top senior classes of previous years and needed to put our best efford in order to not be worse than them. So we did everything we could to create the best and creepiest ghost house possible. Some pupils dressed up as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide and acted like one would drink the potion, walk behind a wall and then the other one would walk back out acting wile. A girl was dancing a walz with the skelleton from our schools biology class room, Some were dressing up as vampires and werewolves and the last act was the guide who was wearing a rubber hand acting like he cut off his hand in a prop looking like a gilloutine. That last one was a bit too far. One of the parents visiting the ghost house completely freaked out when he cut off his fake hand, got a panic atttack and fainted. He had to be taken to hospital with an emergency and stood in hospital for two days. After that the ghost house project was banned for future classes and all other projects needed to be approved by the principal to make sure they wouldn't scare any parents to death. BTW - most other students and parents actually loved our project and straight up told us it was the best ghost house ever.

[@TSA595]

Oh yeah I remember they banned a game at my primary school. It's called "Open the gates". Where u use an entire rugby field to play. 1 person is in the Centre and picks someone they have to catch that person or else the entire group who has to wait behind the line for that guy to reach the other side of the field gets to all sprint. Tackling was allowed and yeah. That's y it was banned some kids got hurt. It was super thrilling tho

[@caracristina2860]

I went to high school in rural Australia in the early 90s. They banned bike shorts under our uniforms. I was a big girl and felt more secure wearing them under my sports uniform skirt. The ban was taken so seriously that monitors were placed at every entrance to check under our skirts. In my senior year they relented and made red bike shorts, the same colour as our sports skirts part of the uniform. We were also not allowed to dye our hair. At the time red hair was all the rage and many girls came back in the new school year with red hair. After school assembly all the red heads were detained I could not believe I was going to get into trouble for this, i am a natural red head. Luckily one of the teachers realised and let me leave before the punishment was handed down. It was private Catholic school so they were allowed to have this kind of control.

[@potatoeface612]

My school banned doing schoolwork at school , as dumb as this sounds they actually had a good reason to do this. The problem was that the kids taking morning classes would share the answers from their graded papers with the kids taking the same classes in the afternoon. So the principal instructed the teachers to throw away any homework being done out of the corresponding class.

[@TheChaosCorvid]

It's genuinely depressing seeing this guy go through so many of these stories and still clinging to the idea that this is strange. Schools are messed up, it's an unethical and ineffective system of education that punishes the many children who don't benefit from the broken way it's run. But since you have to benefit from it to have any control over it as a teacher or principal or whatever else, the people in control are people either unaware of the harm they do or the people who think the harm is justified. Face it dude, this is what schools are like for those of us who aren't seen as profitable.

When I was in middle school, a different middle school in my district banned dabbing. IDK why. I'm not sure if or how it was punished and have no clue if it still exists. Then, when I was in 7th grade, every middle schooler in the district involved in music was going to have a concert together. The bands, the choirs, and the orchestras would all perform popular songs and Christmas songs together. The week of the concert, we had the organizers of this type of thing come to the schools and make final preparations. The choirs were even choreographed. As someone in choir, I was very excited. However, they initially intended for one of the songs to have dabbing in it. Because that one school had a "no dabbing policy", we had to change it. It was changed to "Supermans", which is basically a high slanted dab. IDK why, but that one school was okay with that. I didn't really care that it was changed, and that concert was still really fun.

Our school's dorm handbook bans roleplaying games. I understand since those take hours or days to complete. Can also be pretty loud and it's supposed to be an elite school. But it's probably made back then when it was the biggest time sink people had. Afaik when I graduated last 2018, the handbook still banned those although they already revised the laptop rules to be allowed inside rooms and no longer needed to be deposited.

[@mangosmanda]

my schools dress code was so meticulous that when sitting down, your shirt should not be short enough to show your back. YOUR BACK. I've heard of schools sexualizing girls bodies like their stomach, legs and even arms but their backs??? that was always just too crazy for me. they also said shorts cannot show above the knees which is so stupid. we also couldn't wear beanies or baseball caps for "safety reasons" like seriously?? we were also not allowed to wear chains. like as a necklace, a belt accessory or anything like that cause it could be used as a weapon.. like what?? they also wouldn't let skateboarders carry their skateboards with them to class which i slightly understand but their reasoning was that we would use them as, you guessed it, weapons!! not that we'd ride our boards or get hurt ourselves. no that we would be attacking someone, but the baseball players were allowed to carry their baseball bats around.. sounds like old people who hate skaters for no reason. (its literally a piece of wood with four wheels that you can ride, i do not understand adults being so hateful towards skaters) punk skaters are some of the nicest people I've met!

That one game where you slap each other's hands as much as possible until one of you gives up. My two best friends were the undisputed champions at it, because the one was shockingly strong and the other had a really high pain tolerance. They tried to compete against each other and, iirc, that's what got the game banned, because the one with a really high pain tolerance went till his hands were red and numb and a teacher caught them at it. So we still don't know who would've won, between the unstoppable force and the immovable object, but I can tell you that the immovable object always played goalie whenever we did soccer in gym class and the field always cleared immediately when she had the ball. She kicked *hard*.

these are some strange things that were banned when I was in primary 1:belly tops I dont know the reason but when 4th class hit my teacher said that there was dress codes and the dress code was belly tops crop tops hoods and hats (hoods and hats inside the class when we were in like line it was fine but it was because they couldnt tell if we were sleeping) and hoop earings. Hoop earings were so we could be safe in like yard and pe Hoods and hats so they can tell if were sleeping Crop tops:we were like 13-4 or something- But belly tops I didnt get apparently my mom said it might be because like it would be to long of a process to make sure like oh you can only have [insert length] belly tops but idk 2:high fives and stuff Apparently it would distract the other classes if we high fived them in line Rulers:this was from my 4th class teacher for my class cause we werent senseable and would have fake knife fights with rulers but I understand where she was coming from😅

[@csabanadasiioioo1480]

Phones and other personal electronic devices. The ban basically changed every ca. 2 years which made us furious. Long story short, when we were when we were in 5th grade it was banned, from 6th grade we could bring it in but had to give it to our head teacher so we couldn't use it and got it back the end of the day. Only 9th grade and upwards could have their phones with them. 9th grade comes and the few people who abided by the rules were happy we can finally have our phones with us except the rule changed so now everyone from 5th grade and upwards could have their phones with them. In 11th grade they changed the rules again to the original 5-8th: phones to the head teacher 9-12th: can have phones on them with the change that you can only use it in the classrooms and not on the halls. The original rules were okay with me because I didn't have a smartphone until 8th grade which I simply didn't bring to school. I viewed anyone with their own smarphone as old or younger than me (between 5th and 8th grade) a rich privileged a**hole (because at this time most of them were jock-like). My first 2 smartphones were used and handed down to me by my mom. I only got my own newly bought one in 11th grade. The last change was justified with "kids looking at their phones and bumping into eachother and teachers". I've hated it because I couldn't go out and lean on the floor railing so I could escape the classroom for a 10 minute break. Second story and this wasn't a ban but a stupid rule. When I was in 9th grade the school had the idea to put the 9-12th grade to hallway patrol duty. Iirc everyone from 9-12th had a day when on brakes they were assigned to a floor and they had to maintain "order" (mostly telling kids not to run, call them out on littering and after the bell rang anyone late to their class should have been written up). As everyone could guess noone took it seriously, so much so that on one school gathering the teachers read out some memorable "write-ups", like teachers being late, someone blowing their nose too loud. But when we had student government and we asked them to abolish this dumb rule they insisted it stays even after everyone told them nobody takes it seriously, not even most of the teachers.

Growing up we had to wear a uniform to school. Coloured/white socks and coloured hair ties were banned, everything had to be black or navy. In another high school I was put into iss because I had half of my hair shaved off, I joined the school with it and was in iss within the first two weeks

My school banned fidget spinners. Students like me, who need to fidget with their hands, suffered as a result.

Brit. here! Went to a single-sex secondary school (age 11-16), we could not wear trousers when I was in the 1st year, then come the 2nd onwards we could. All apparently because our headmistress was Jewish, and left after my 1st year! The majority of us kids were mostly Christian, Hindu, then other religions. Not sure if there were that many Jewish girls in my school. Bloody stupid! We were not her children or from her religion! It was not a religious school!

I grabbed my ears in sympathy after story 14 and screamed "OWWWWWWWWWW!!!" several times!

[@Creepersgun]

Three rules, first one was called "Modest is Hottest" where you couldn't were any reviling clothing or stuff that showed shoulders or stomach, it was called that to be hip the kids, my friend ha rebelled against the name of this rule by passing out 3d printed cards that say "Modest is Hottest" on the (he is also know for were 9 pairs of sunglasses duck-taped together). The second one was no inappropriate shirts, one kid got dress coded for having a Nike shirt that said balls are life, with some sports ball on it and some teacher thought that it was some sex joke. The third was not a rule when I went to high school but is, all essay have to be hand written during class to stop people from using AI to write their essays (meanwhile at my collage all my professors allow you use AI if you tell them that you use AI) worst part is the school sing praises that their crappy grading program is all online (Crappy because if you did all your assignments (which was the only part that effected your grade) you would not get your grade until you did this crappy tests, so if you did all of them but one you would NOT receive ANY credit from that class therefor making you have to retake the class again, in march of 2020 around 10% of senior were going to be able to graduate because their was no due dates and you can turn an PFA (what the crappy tests were called) the was assigned in October, in June and have no points deducted.)

Story 13: usually they go the other way with belts, as in, if you have belt loops, then you will have a belt.

I have a couple. I was a late 90s baby and pokemon had just started gaining popularity. I was one of those kids when in grade school the school banned us from bringing in our pokemon trading cards. Why? "We were goung to gaamble with them." Though to be fair i think there was a small handful of kids who actually did try to gamble when traiding their cards. The second one was when the Silly Bands came out. Basically a similar thing happened like with the trading cards. Last one that I can think of. I think the year after I graduated from high school they banned girls from where skinny jeans and leggings because and I quote "its distracting the boys." But yet they didnt ban the fucking idiots weaeing their pants so fucking low they may as well be ankle bracelets. Fer fucks sakes. Edit:Almost forgot this gem(sarcasm). My elementary school supoosedly banned the words "stupid and "shut up". I say supposedly cause anytime I said them trying to stand up for myself I got a detention and that was often but my 1st grade teacher failed to do that with the rest of the effing class. They constantly told me i was stupid ans to shut up but i guess giving one innocent student a detention is a lot easier than giving the whole class a detention. :/

6:15 i took my furface into my college's it department (running linux, clearly my machine) and asked them to put it on wifi and they didnt bat an eyelid

[@cheeseorphans7464]

Our class got straw banned, we used to get straws I'm paper packaging at milk snack, and lunch, but we would blow in the end to launch the paper straw cover and shoot spitballs and other children things to do. They haven't had straws since

[@OriginalGlorfindel]

Dude, there's like literally 3 minutes in between each period and there's eight periods in a day from 6:30 a.m. when you get to school on the bus or car rider if whatever and three 15ish on the way home that's when we get out of school and we're not allowed to have backpacks throughout the day. We just have the like these shoulder bags and they don't hold as much stuff as we kind of need like girls. We got other stuff. We need boys get some deodorant in that thing but we are not allowed to have our backpacks so impossible.

[@gt4lex]

Not gonna lie, IRL Among Us sounds fun. Yo be fair though, asking the kids to not use the word "kill" makes sense in a way, airsoft communities insist on the same thing. "Tag" is a dumb substitute though.

[@LinkGalifrey]

My school didn't let guys have piercings i hated seeing the guys who had rings in their ears without them it just grossed me out.

[@johanadormeo4170]

TL;DR: Bitch steals Pokemon cards, brother tries to get the cards, gets caught by a teacher and gets in trouble, doesn't get cards, Pokemon cards banned. Primary school, it was Pokemon Cards. It didn't involve me, but it involved my two older brothers ("A" to refer to oldest, "B" for middle brother), (barely) my oldest brother's friends, a guy we'll call "C" and a teacher. It was around 2016, the middle brother was Year 3 and oldest and C was Year 5. C was apparently stealing Pokemon cards from A's bag. So A and some friends told B about it and was tasked with getting the cards back. B had to go to the cloakroom (where all the bags were, they were divided for different years) and get the cards from C's bag. Now the cloakroom for Year 5 and 6 were just shelves with benches, directly outside the classroom (btw, the years were divided for 2 classes, eg Year 6 Bananas, Year 6 Apples). So B was busy rummaging through C's bag for the cards when a teacher caught B. Now B, was completely innocent, just getting A's belongings back because C stole them. But without this context, it just looked like B was stealing from C. So B got in trouble and sadly did not get those cards back. Pokemon cards were banned (probably announced in an assembly). I think they were allowed again around when I was Year 4-5, people brought cards in but maybe in caution. I did get some nice cards like a Phantump card that had Mimikyu in the art (my favourite Pokemon).

[@WateryAbyss7000]

8:51 there was this same rule at my school but I think it was because someone brought axe body spray to lunch and erm... used it.

[@reddiamond6524]

In order to slow the spread of germs, my school banned breathing. I am now a ghost because i died from lack of oxygen.

[@KonradZielinski]

so what was the book in the first story?

[@trevonjones5233]

The cell phone rule is largely does not exist in my school county due to all the school shootings thay happens now. Most kids in my district is half online and half there since covid happened

[@ohiomanjacob]

nothing yet, but we are sorta strict on dress code

[@TSA595]

11:13 did u go to Fairbairn College High School? Cuz that incident with 2 girls doing it in the bathroom and another filming it, happened there xD. Also there was a grade 9 girl who had class A drugs in her pencil case and got caught. It's like wen after my grade graduated. All hell Broke loose at my highschool. More gangs are there now and it's supposed to be the best highschool in the area for the best of the best students. I tell every parent how far down that highschool fell. It's hilarious

[@michealwatts7469]

If there is a policy in place, and you break the policy you get detention. Some rules Suckass but meh. As far as fining, it depends on what they did.

[@Shadow_Microwaive]

6:58 welcome to a private catholic school

[@MrRyukage]

POGs because some kids lost $200 worth of them for keeps

[@TheIcecreamcon2]

Are school banned bags because people kept tripping over them and a couple teachers broke their arms or legs from the fall

[@chasezly]

my district banned wallpapers on our laptops when i was in middle school because someone in my math class set his as porn

[@Bowser14456]

Say bracelets (like the livestrong bracelet) were banned in 2nd grade. Or maybe 3rd. Kids were playing with them too much and they were distracting.

[@AmusementLabs]

Fining minors... Sure! Let's demand money from a demographic that majority doesn't have an income, WHAT COULD GO WRONG. You'll either end up with 2 results: 1) parents forced to fit the fine will punish or abuse their kids 2) those with money will just not care

being funny,cus school thinks it is bad

[@DPS_GMs]

Story 5 is like my school except that all devices where banned. If it is seen it is taken and you have to pay 15 usd. It was a conservative men are great, and have to look like MEN! So my chest length bang always got me in trouble, so glad im out of that shit. (I’m class of 23)

[@DPS_GMs]

Also most normal sites where completely blocked, after the blocker was bypassed it was changed to the point where the schools Wi-Fi is useless. Many teachers have severe god complexes, and most of the principles where horrible (not to mention the two pedos, and the cheating married christians.

[@DPS_GMs]

A few pedos made it into the regular teachers. The former head football coach was caught not six months after leaving the school.

[@DPS_GMs]

On another note we have had a few gang psa’s in rural Texas, that has no gangs (a few drug dealers tho). Most of the stat football team was exempt from any rule breaking, as well as the quarter of the population that was absurdly rich. (Football team was where most drugs where purchased from, and the whole team was caught doing hard substances after the only win that season)

Not just in my school, but there is a new guideline for all highschools, starting this year, that no cellphones are allowed in class. It literally goes against the amendments of my country and everyone, including teachers, hate it. All our schedules are on our phone. One third of all assignments have to be done, on our phone. Most classes don't have clocks, people look up the time, on their phone. It is impossible to find your friends as normally you would text them, on your phone. It is the most stupid and un thought through 'guideline' all schools are now forced to follow. The government really didn't think this one through.

[@GymbalLock]

backpacks are nightmare to teachers. Where do student put them? If they go on the floor, people will be tripping over them all day. Against a wall? That gives plenty of a time for a student "getting something from my backpack" to rob someone else's pack and transfer cell phones, walkmans, game systems, cash, and snacks into their own backpack. Sometimes the chairs are the right shape to hang a backpack on the back, but sometimes these chairs are so small that the chair tips over backwards whenever the student stands up. Putting them outside the classroom door gives everyone an opportunity to go shopping through someone else's stuff. Banning backpacks altogether requires students to carry armfuls of pencil boxes, lunches, water bottles, books, and folders to school and back. There is no good solution.

The background on this video is very distracting. Very distracting.
