Lets make a list of ridiculous rules from High School

You know how there stuff thats not a big deal at all in real life but is in highschool...

My favorite was the no tolerance cell phone policy which was absurd...if anybody even saw it they'd take it from you you dont even have to be on it. I dont see the big deal about using your phone every once in a while during an 8 hour day of nonsense...if you wanna send a quick text message which takes all of 5 seconds between classes (or even during, your loss i say) or lunch or something I dont see why thats so bothersome.

I'm honestly not much complainer and I understand al ot of rules, but my Junior year of highschool had a really stupid rule. We had to wear ID's everyday on campus, and if we didn't the school suspended you for a day. Their were alot suspensions...

Eh, I dunno really.

No laptops, no chewing gum, only water for a drink, no cell phones, no trading cards/pokemon, no yo-yos, no gambling



alright maybe the last one is reasonable

I never really understood why you couldn't wear a hat inside school.

Because you can hide a Bazooka in there.

When you rope down from the roof of the school onto a window, then rubbing your private parts onto the window while pouring Cool Whip on your nipples, and singing the theme from Terminator. I'm pretty sure you would get expelled for doing that.CRS98

no hats in the school premises

My school once hosted a summer school, and we had different principal and vice principal at that particular time just for the summer school, and they thought it was great idea to ban hats in the entire school premises. That means on the fields, in the courtyard, etc, and not just in classrooms. And we also happened to have one of the hottest summers in the century that year.funsohng

I also hated having this stupid sign-in sheets that you had to fill out and then have a Teacher sign you out if you had to go to the Nurse or Restroom. So they knew when you left and when you came back so if somebody vandalized something they will question you if it happened when you were signed out.

If you filled it up the teacher will give you another sheet. If you lost it you would have to go to the Office and spend $5 just to get a replacement.

Not so much a rule, but in our school they were always funny about letting you go to the toilet, like you could be on the verge of tears and they would still say your not leaving the class. I mean come on when you gotta go you gotta go :|

You wear your I.D. or detention. If you forget your I.D. twice, suspension. mrmusicman247

i can understand why a school wouldn't want kids to use their cell phones during class, but honestly, the teacher stopping class and trying to take up the student's cell phone, only to have the student say "omg i didn't have it out!" and the teacher says "yes you did i saw it", that goes on for about 5 minutes, the teacher finally gets the phone, that is much more of a disruption than just letting students text.

No chewing gum and no drinks other than water. Though my friend was a huge soda dealer in high school for a short period of time. He made around $200 worth of sales after two months.

"Etiquette considers it impolite for men to wear hats or other head coverings indoors. A hat may be worn in the corridors and elevator of a public building, but the hat should be removed upon entering a room. Men should always remove hats in places of worship, when sitting at a table for a formal meal, and when a national anthem is playing. These rules also apply to women if wearing unisex hats, such as baseball caps, but do not apply to head coverings used due to religious beliefs, such as those worn by Sikhs and many orthodox Jewish men.

A man is not compelled to remove his hat if suffering from an illness which would cause embarrassment (e.g. a person suffering from hair loss due to cancer therapy).

Traditionally (until the mid 1960s), most women considered it mandatory to wear a hat when outside of one's home, such as when in public, while visiting others, and especially in houses of worship. When following these traditional etiquette rules, a woman must remove her hat when indoors after dark, and should never wear one in her own home while hosting"

That is a quote from Wikipedia about proper Etiquette in North America.

half the teachers let you listen to music during work time, funsohng

-wear your ID at all times. In order to get in the school in the mornings you have to be wearing your ID. what really pissed me off, is the fact that even if your ID is in your car or locker, they made you buy a new one. they would not let you go back to your car or go to your locker to get your ID. and the ID's cost 5 bucks. i wasted around 30 bucks over the course of the year, because i either left mine in my locker or my car. its retarded. imo.

-if you get caught with a phone whether it is on or off, its an immediate two day suspension.

-if your phone goes off(text or call) while it is in your locker and a teacher hears it, its a two day suspension.

-no hats

-no sweatpants, though my school isnt too strict about that rule. id say the only exception to that rule would be the sweatpants you get from Jostens that say Senior on the side, as it is school related.

-no jackets in classes. some teachers even tried to make me take off my hoodie that zips up, so i went to the principle and she was fine with it. Take that!:P

-No Skulls on clothes. i break that rule alot, i have a hoodie that has two skulls on the shoulders, but its not easily noticable.

-No holes whatsoever in your pants. whether they are big or small. they make you wear gym shorts for the rest of the day. stupid rule imo.

-No IPOD,MP3 player etc.

-once you get 2 tardies you get an after school detention, a 3rd results in a saturday. i absolutely hate this rule.

-no drinks/food in classroom.

-miss more than ten days of school without a doctors not, you lose all credits for that semester.

thats all i can think of for now

In 8th grade middle school, asking someone for food or money was against the rules. In elementary school camo was against the rules (it was a clear reaction move to Columbine, though the ban was lifted a few yaers later). In my high school they make you change into a school shirt if you don't have it on, even if you're whereing a heavy sweatshirt (though it is okay to wear a heavy sweatshirt, and a school shirt under that).

I have to wear my I.D. all day around my neck like an idiot. If I don't, I get Saturday hours. I have about 65 hours... hell no I aint going.

No iPods or any other mp3 player. No cell phones during school hours... I don't see why having it out during Lunch is such a bad thing. Well, whatever... I never follow the 'stupid' rules anyway.

You must buy our official water bottle to drink water, and ONLY water, in class. The water bottle costs $5, and some teachers are allowed to not permit them within the classroom. Also, you must wear your ID badge. If you do not, you will receive a two hour Saturday detention starting at 7 a.m. You also must pay a fine of $10. Rheiken

well for my school, which might be the same for his, they just put it on our school lunch account or keep record of it, and make you pay for it by the end of the year

That's arbitrary nonsense nowadays, isn't it? I don't feel offended if somebody wears a hat inside.

Recommendation for in school suspension for going on Facebook. :|
