I love how teenagers have figured out that mass civil disobedience works wonders and then forget all of that by the time they're done school
It only works with enough support. It's hard to get a large amount of people to ban together and rise up against things, as adults. It's hard enough just trying to get several friends together to HAVE FUN.
I'm from western Europe.
I know all about the problem.
Good thing I'm used to being the odd one in a crowd who does things by himself and has to deal with the consequences thereof.
Well that's because social problems are not as obvious and direct as a school mandate. You need to be aware of the problem, and know it's a problem, and then organize people.
Teens also have the unique situation of being dependent on their parents, not society. So it's easier to critique society when you aren't a part of it really.
@@BoomerTelly But of they aren't a part of society, then the civil disobedience shouldn't have an effect.
To be fair, they have less to lose than adults, as well as their horde of concerned parents for additional support. I see what you're saying, though.
Some kid got caught with beer in a canteen at my school, so they made a rule that only clear liquids in water bottles were allowed. Lots of vodka and white tequila/rum in water bottles. Lots.
Do teachers even exist outside of school? Do they not think kids know about more than one thing at a time?
in my school, alcoholic beverages are prohibited, even for students who are legally old enough to buy and consume them(16 for beer and wine, 18 for anything else), and I, as a 16-year old who likes to occasionally enjoy a beer while watching a movie, or sitting on the terrace with my dad, would never even think about bringing alcohol to school. It is not seen as cool, because it's normal to drink at that age, so bringing beer to school would not make you come off as badass or anything, you'd just look like a fucking alcoholic.
@@luuk3213 Welcome to America, where drinking is illegal until 21 and every teenager is an alcoholic. 😂
@@pre-debutera6941 come to germany, we have good beer and stuff
@@pre-debutera6941 Most german teenagers i know are very responsible when it comes to drinking.
My high school had these two rules, I'm sure many other schools have, that we cannot leave campus for lunch, and we cannot have outside food dropped off to us. This lead to not only kids becoming 100% sneakier in bringing outside foods and retrieving it, but literally a game of escaping school. There was a school wide meme of one of the principals always riding on a golf cart, that quickly turned into "Patton's Go Kart" because of how he started chasing down any vehicle that looked as if it was leaving campus around the lunch periods. There were even success stories of boys causing trouble on thr other side of campus so someone could escape unnoticed and bring back food for everyone. I swear to god, in the four years I spent there, they made us into Phantom Thieves.
that- that right there, is amazing.
Did you guys have a cat
Not at my school wasn't an easy way to get out as everything was inside.
Looking cool!

That zero tolerance fighting thing hurt a lot of people. Same thing happened at my school. It would just result in the victim getting the holy hell beat out of them until teachers showed up, it sometimes took minutes. If they fought back they would get expelled, sometimes even if they didn't fight back they would still get suspended or expelled because "they were in a fight, and we have a zero tolerance policy". In my experience, zero tolerance is just a way for the people in charge to absolve themselves of blame.
I’m shocked no-one sued a school for that rule.
usually, yes, it's just an excuse
Jacob Hoffman The best example I can think of of this is one where some kid at my school had snitched on some coward for doing something (carrying a dab pen I think) so this coward with the dab pen got one of his buddies to beat the kid so bad that he had to leave the school and get multiple stitches on his face and nose. I maybe wrong about this, but I think the kid would have probably just gotten a little ruffed up if not for this policy, as the guy with the dab pen had only gotten like a 2 day suspension or something. Worse part is that if you defend yourself you receive the same punishment as the guy who attacked you.
If my school has a zero tolerance policy I just fight back as hard as I can. I'm in trouble anyway
Saw from one redditor : a school have zero-tolerance policy toward any fighting, and that three fights will result in expelling. A bully attack a kid, then his friend attack the same kid, then another kid does the same. Despite the fact the kid never start any single of those fight, he was expelled. The three bullies get nothing.
A bit glad that pretty much no school in my country have such stupid policy...though we have different problem.
Top management got a restructuring at our place and didnt allow us to dress causally, even though we didn't have a dress or uniform code, they wanted us to dress sharply and formally.
So everyone for a whole month came in dressed in 1700s era fancy dresses and suits, wigs and all (there was a costume shop down the block that loved and supported our protest)
We were a trucking company btw
ROFL I wish that hubby could do that where he works (also a trucking company). He'd do it, too!
Who the fuck would make truckers dress in suits and shit? I'm lmao thinking about the stereotypical big, greasy, hairy trucking getting out of his truck at a rest stop for a piss and he's wearing a tux.
MeLikeHam I’m thinking of the same thing, but in a Victorian dress and wig
PLEASE tell me this got on a newspaper or something. I NEED to know.
Dude, I love that
My teacher held a school assembly and banned Harry Potter. He said "you are not allowed to believe in Magic, the tooth fairy, Santa or the Easter Bunny. So I am banning Harry Potter". (This was a private primary school and most of these kids were between the ages of 5 - 12.)
My school was holding a book fair where you would bring your favorite book and dress up as a character from that book. Harry Potter was a really popular reading choice at that time
The next day hundreds of angry parents are writing letters to the school for telling their child that Santa, the easter bunny and the tooth fairy weren't real.
The local radio station picks up the story and one caller says "I think he's an idiot".
My teacher was then brannded with the quote "I think he's an idiot" and the annoying kid then said the quote every morning.
The school went viral and there was an interview about the producers of the Harry Potter movies and their opinion on what my teacher did.
To this very day when you search the school on google half of the pictures are related to harry potter and the school banning it. It was all of the pictures for about 3 years.
The school then sent a letter home saying they only want their students to believe in (insert list of religions).
about a year after me and my little sister found a collection of Harry Potter books in the restricted teachers only part of the libary that belonged to the teacher who banned it in the first place.
I remember seeing a story about a teacher getting in trouble (possibly even fired?) because they told their class that Santa wasn't real.
Good employees: (complete job quickly)
Management: (tries to exploit it by enforcing a rule that encourages them to work slowly)

My school made a no internet rule that didn’t last a week.
They made it because some of us tech geniuses kept getting the password to the school WiFi.
It didn’t take long for the school to realize that some important emails, messages, lessons, emergency calls, and attendance reports were not in the system.
When students found that out, a lot of us skipped for the next 3 days and the school became almost bare.
A lot of parents were angry because the school was the only access to Internet their child had ( some kids are rather poor )
So assignments went missing and projects weren’t done.
A whole school almost fell in the deep dark void that had no internet.
Idk how our forefathers survived.....
In my school i was probably easier to smoke weed in the patio than to get the wifi password
My school said girls couldn’t wear headbands and the next day all the boys showed up in headbands
What the fuck problem do they have with headbands!!?
I remember that episode of naruto
DoveAlexa They got upset because they didn’t want kids to feel left out because a lot of people wore black nike headbands
Lol
Reminds me of an article I read where a school banned shorts during the summer but the girls could still wear skirts so the boys all came into school with skirts on.
My school decided it would be a good idea to ban asthma inhalers because they were “distracting.” Needless to say, the school was sued.
Medicine :3 what next, glasses?
Next they're going to start banning kids that have had vaccines
Probably
Ban shoes because walking make noises.
I call bullshit.
My school had a massive bullying problem when I was in high school. The teachers with enough power to fix it didn’t care. I (and most of the other kids that weren’t in the possies of the bullies) absolutely hated bullies, and since the school had recently enacted a zero tolerance policy that punished you for even being in the same room as a fight, any time a fight broke out it turned into a massive Bully Vs. Non-Bully brawl.
20-30 kids got suspended/expelled, some of the teachers got fired, and overall it was a massive shitshow.
Jack Neuenburg I was a little asshole but also a non-bully, I would have had a great time
Edit: in later high school I mean. Early on I was bullied.
So basically, the rule started a literal war in your school
@@ntfoperative9432 That should happen anyway regardless if students truly want to stop being targets just like a country would fight back against other countries bullying them.
My school banned fidget spinners and everyone retaliated by bringing as many as they could. There were at least 500 spinners. A lot of people got in trouble and a lot of parents were unhappy. The day ended with someone pulling the fire alarm. Only in my school, I swear.
Purpl3 P0ny Good on the students tbh. Fidget spinners were originally meant to be prescription assistive technology for ADHD and autistic people.
What kind of a school bans fidget spinners?! What's the point?
Butter Smooth Memes When it became trendy to use fidget spinners, kids would do “tricks” and other bs with them. Hence the bans.
My school allowed people who had a prescription or something to have them
Purpl3 P0ny don’t worry my school was worse teachers start to play with confiscated items.
My language teacher scratched her skiing with my nail file
My high school focused more on enforcing their dress code than actually educating. We had a big meeting at the beginning of the school year to talk about the new rules, and when the principal made the standard "girls distracting boys" comment, I raised my hand and informed him that no dress code would or could stop me from oogling boobs. I was suspended for three days and a hero for a year.

I worked as a cook for a very short staffed restaurant. The manager made a rule that you can't call in EVER. Unfortunately my Grandfather was sick, in late stages of cancer and heart disease. I told him and he said "You better man up, you have to stay". I went anyway, and came back a mess. With tears still in my eyes he had the balls to try to get me to sign a write up. We almost faught, mid dinner rush, I walked out and left him with the 1 other kid who just made pizza. My grandfather was like my dad. I miss him and my grandmother dearly.
Pretty sure managers can't legally do that.
@@LilyMcFluffyButt your right he couldn't. I had covered my ass though by telling the owners. I was a mess, only 2 days after :( I had this little ahole in my face, we were about to fight. I'm 6,5 350lbs in my emotional state I might have killed him. I wanted to. I could feel all that frustration, and sorrow bubbling. So I just walked away. Probably should have taken a week not 3 days.
This sounds like something to be reported honestly
When I was in the Air Force I had a Chief (highest enlisted rank) tell me "If you are ever forced to chose between the Air Force and your family, always choose your family. Because one day, the Air Force WILL let you down." It was one of the most profound things anyone has ever told me and it will stick with me forever and always.EDIT: Profound because it came from a Chief. Most of them these days just drink the koolaide and tow the "party line" so to speak. It was really surprising hearing someone that highly ranked saying that.
@@perdedor3571 Probably because he got to the point where he's older and mature enough to realize that having your own priorities isn't a slight against you, and gotten to the point where he realized he messed everything up for himself by not realizing that.
My high school had a no phone policy and we weren’t aloud to take them in and were searched during ever first period. One day my friend felt ill and asked me to come to the toilets with her. She fainted on the way and I ran to the office to ask if I could call her mom. (My friend’s mom had a thing for not picking up unknown numbers because of something that happened when she was younger apparently) The school had gotten a new phone recently so her mom didn’t pick up. I tried to explain and they ended up giving us both attention for “faking injuries as an excuse to use our phones.”
My friend was is hospital for the next two days.
That's so ridiculous my school has the same rule and I wish it was banned it's really stupid that had to happen
wtf
These no-phones rules are pretty dumb, phones can be used to increase productivity and help with people learning, and in case of emergencies they're right at your hand, I'm lucky that in my school phones were banned but no one cared about it, students, teachers and even people from the administration would use them everywhere.
Ursula Reynolds Did they sue the school? God I hope so.
ohhhhhhhhhh i would get sooo angry

@@originlights3050 *P E R H A P S*
Courtesy Flame The solution is compromise. No rule really works out in the end and strictly enforcing them results in further problems. So you need to compromise and edit the rules and punishments accordingly... the problem is that it is nearly impossible to find a perfect level of compromise, meaning someone/something will still suffer. It is, however, still far better than the alternatives

My gym teacher was telling us about the dress code, about a week into school and said "girls, shirts must not be worn to show any skin on your stomach or chest" all the boys immediately stood up and started laughing and whistling while they tied their shirts into crop tops. The teacher immediately became very awkward looking and told the boys to sit down. The wording of that rule backfired on that teacher in less than a second.
Wish the boys were like that in my school they would just make fun of us
i've always wondered about the gendered dress codes in school, especially now that my teacher knows i'm nb, like can i wear what i want or
They’re good
I'm non-binary, so that rule would have no effect on me
@@ashaler__ my suspicion is it started because perverts couldn't control themselves
you cant be friends with people in grades above but you can with grades below... so does that not apply to lower grades then??
So, if I am in second grade, I can be friends with a person in first grade, but that person can't be friends with me?
@@vickycastellote Yep. Saw another comment that said "Everyone turn left and shake hands with the person in front of you."
Since everyone is facing left, nobody is shaking hands at all.
HECKproductions What if you have a brother/sister a grade above you?
I think it might've been a situation where school is devided into levels, like 1st level- classes 1-3, second level- classes 4-6, third level- classes 7-8. So f.e. when you're in 6th grade, you can be friends with 5th graders, but not 7th graders. Still very stupid.
We had a no phones rule in our cafeteria, no matter what. Leave them in your locker or have them collected. Well here are some incidents....
-My then GF jammed her phone down her cleavage and dared the facilitator to grab it
-Many lost phones and one lawsuit for damaged property
-One kid had an allergic reaction and it took them 20+ minuets to get a phone number to his family (emergency services were called on a teacher's phone and he was ok)
-Numerous complaints
-People set alarms to go off during lunch so the cafeteria had a box full or ringing phones
-A pissed parent showed up at school when her kid didn't respond to her on an important family issue the staff had been warned about
-Kids refusing to hand them over causing havoc in the lunch line
Yeah that rule lasted for 3/4 of a year before admin said fuck it
How did he react to your girlfriend stuffing it though?
I love how the comment cut off at "jammed her phone down her..." And my thoughts instantly went like
'wow, she must have had so much dedication against "the system" to put it in there'

@@Predated2 What did you think it was?
You really aren't elaborating on the first?
school made a rule we weren't allowed to hold hands, or hug for longer than 3 seconds. the next day people just held hands everywhere, and hugged the entire lunchbreak and honestly it was so funny.
lmao people just naturally want to break rules and its great
Blandinus Erastos big truth
What's with those no-tuch or no friendship rules at some schools??
Isn't (physical) contact to other humans, like, the most important thing for children???
Seems, those people have never heard about the proper development of kids.
There's some doctors who are proposing a no-physical-contact rule with patients or other medical staff.
"Sorry your pet just died but I'm not legally allowed to give you a hug or even pat you on the shoulder so I'll just be my mandated 5 feet away."
Further proof that bureaucrats aren't human.
History informs that all tyrannies are predisposed to controlling thought/speech and human relationships, among other things.
Physical contact is essential to growth development. If someone makes a no touch rule for elementary school students, you could technically sue for child abuse.
@@bigchooch4434 That makes sense in cases where illnesses could spread (This is a hospital, after all), but in cases like that it doesn't really.
Babies have known to die from touch starvation and it also causes depression in adults.

Had a teacher say it was “rude” for me and my classmates to use one another’s first names and said we had to address each other as miss/mr followed by last name. This was even weirder bc it was a VERY small private school (my graduating senior class had a total of 30 people and no, there were no other senior classes) where everyone knew everyone, we knew the names and ages of our classmates’ siblings, a lot of the faculty members were the parents of kids who went there, and half of us had known one another since we were six.
When I told my mom, she dug up some document where she has like three or four last names and had me memorize all of them while also adding my “regular” last name. Following her malicious scheme, I informed the teacher that if she INSISTED on respect, than she had to respect my heritage and use all of my names. The exchange students from South America thought it was hilarious and started making her use their two legal names. The teacher just gave up in mid-sentence one day and used my first name and it was really hard not to laugh or give her a shit-eating grin.
Here in Brazil almost everyone has 3 or 4 names, not counting prepositions between them. And finding someone with 5 is common enough to not be a notable thing. Having only 2 names is really rare, probably even rarer than having 6.
Also the names after the first aren't necessarily all family names, in fact it's pretty common for the first 2 names to be given names (e.g. me, Leandro Gabriel).
Leandro Gabriel our exchange students were from Colombia; not sure how it works there. Maybe they did have more names? For all I know they had four to six names back home and the US government only acknowledged 2 (one from each pattern), and then the school went further to only acknowledge 1. Also my mother’s definitely had at least one preposition (a “del” between the first two if I remember right), lol.
No idea where your teacher was from, but this reminded me that my old Japanese teacher told my class that in Japan (where she grew up) it *is* considered rude to address people you aren't suuuuuuuUUUUUUuuuuuuper close to by their personal name and had to instead use their family name followed by the suffix -san, which is sorta the Japanese equivalent to Miss/Mister in English. They have other suffixes and prefixes for showing respect but I don't really remember them much since it has been over ten years.
So perhaps it was just a cultural thing for your teacher and you're the weird ones to them.
I0IRutilusI0I Oh, I know that they do that in certain cultures, particularly in Japan (when you read enough manga you get the hang of the honorifics thing pretty quickly). But this was a white, English-speaking, American born and raised woman from our general region. And it wasn’t like she was old-fashioned, either, because she was in her early thirties. It was just a really bizarre belief by one strange woman.
Plus I mean even in the context of a culture like Japan’s, I think they’d still find it odd to be forced to still have to address people they’ve known for over ten years and seen nearly every day by their last names.
@@blurrycryptid Inb4 your teacher was actually just a closet weeb
Good thing I'm not American; this Zero Tolerance thing is the scariest thing I've ever discovered.
Mexicans are technically Americans because they live in North America so never say that unless you want an angry Mexican yelling at you.
If I was American I'd ask the teachers who support zero tolerance "Do you own a gun?" If you own a gun, ESPECIALLY for self defence, you can not make the case for zero tolerance
@@tobos8909 Would that work? From reading comments I was under the impression that all USian teachers are extremely left wing and believe that guns should only be owned by their preferred political party. Course I could be wrong. 🤣
In my school, they punished bystanders too. Their goal was to encourage bystanders to peacefully diffuse the fight, but instead kids would either run away or join the fights, and nobody would report fights bc they'd be put down as a bystander and suspended
Yea I got in trouble so many times for not fighting back so one day I hit him with a chair still got the same punishment
Our school had a rule where you can only buy one thing from the canteen, this effected everyone including teachers
And I was the one who triggered this rule cause one day I bought 2 burgers, 2 hash browns and Pepsi vanilla can
Apparently I “ bought to much “
But I was just really hungry
Wait, they have Pepsi at your school? And there's a vanilla flavor of Pepsi?
"But I was just really hungry" this sounds so sad
This literally makes no sense..what does "buying too much" even mean?? and even if ya did...why should it matter??
Teachers are tyrants. They want to control everything the students do, just like a Communist dictatorship.

I remember being lectured by DARE back in 2010. Looks like theyre still around.... Dont drink, but I enjoy my THC.
There is not a single way to keep someone from doing something if they really want to. It's safer to educate on the dangers and teach them about overdosage than to say "drugs are bad, mkay?"
DARE taught us that every single drug would ruin your life and you'd end up dead or in jail. They equated smoking cigs and drinking beer with doing cocaine or heroin. As a result, when you find out that drinking beer doesn't lead to your immediate demise, you go ahead and consider everything in the program to be false.
I worked as a Network Engineer (DOD) when our Government Manager put in place a new rule "No work without an email authorizing the work prior to it being performed". We told him it was a very bad idea but he didn't want to hear from the Network Engineers. Two days later the network went down. People were yelling that we needed to get it back up, FAST! We told them as soon was we received an email authorizing us to do the work we would get right on it. The problem was that with the network being down so was the email. This was two hours before quitting time. I left on time that day as I had not received an email authorizing me to do the work. Turned my phone off and had a good nights sleep. They were pissed the next morning but I still did not have an email authorizing me to do any work. The manager finally saw the problem with his policy.
But did he make sure to get an email authorizing him to do the work required to change the policy?
Sounds like a PHB.
the manager is that numbskulled
im amazed how they are getting those jobs
What's the point of having a job if you can't do work without permission from your boss
The company I used to drive for had just implemented a "no shoulder, zero tolerance' policy on a suggestion from one of the head dispatchers a few days prior to the incident. It all began at the Port of New Orleans.
For those who don't know, there's two ways of getting into NOLA; a TWIC pass that you pay for on a monthly basis or a fee of 50 dollars to wait for a guard to come and get you, then escort you to wherever you need to either pick up or drop off; unless you drive for the port or have a contract with them, the TWIC pass is useless.
This new policy basically told us that we were subject to any punishments up to and including termination if we parked on a shoulder, exit ramp, on ramp...etc for longer then 30 minutes . Come a bright and floody day in New Orleans and I'm sitting on the right hand lane waiting to head into the Port of NOLA in a few hours; got a message saying to head over to the nearest company dropyard and then bobtail to the local terminal.
I was terminated after I was observed, by my truck's tracker, to have been sitting on the side of the road (Designated parking spot where the guards want you to park) to wait to go through the gates. The dispatchers hardly ever send anyone to go down to New Orleans, so they were clueless on what kind of policy the port had in effect for driver parking.
Several company drivers were sent there later and suffered my fate as well. This mistake cost the company several hundred grand and the loss of a big paper shipper based in the port. They changed the policy to include 'unless necessary' in the small print later on.
The whole thing that if you skip school you're given an in-school suspension. Which means you sit in one room for the whole school day and do all your school work. Yeah so....you keep the kids that don't want to be in class...out of class. Great job guys.
Plus tons of people like them because they can catch up on all their work easily. I've not met one person that dislikes them for any reason besides the fact that they go on your school record. Hell, even I, as an almost straight A student who almost never gets in trouble, thinks that it would be kinda nice. Plus you can't talk much in there so you don't have to deal with anyone's crap.
My school banned white-outs, as some people were writing things in the bathrooms with them, so no one was allowed to bring and use them.
Then people would just bring them to the bathrooms, write stuff and get away just fine (no one was checked whatsoever). But god forbid you from using it in the classroom to correct something.
Arcana Capra should’ve used sharpies or paint
god hasn't forbidden that!
Amir Bakar Oh no, God didn't. The school administration did. If you know anything about American school administration, you'll know they think they're a higher authority than God. Until they get shat out and play the innocent card.
@@thebluewhale8891 someone wrote that god forbid something and now it's deleted and my comment is now lacking context
Idk, that policy with the trashed pizzas seems like a pretty good deal for the homeless people
Just stupid that workers cannot take their food that they have payed for, even if it is with workers discount, home with them, just stupid control freaks that deserve to have their business trashed by homeless if they going out of the way to spite their employees.
I worked at a Papa Johns when I was in high school. We had a cool manager, so to get around that loophole he would let us make an order for a customer (right before our shift ended) and purposely mess up the pizza somehow (like adding the wrong topping, which were the toppings we wanted). Then right as we left work he would tell us to take the pizza and put it in the dumpster on our way out. He knew we would instead take it to our car or a friends car, but since he didn't "say" we could and didn't "see" us doing it, no one could get in trouble.
@@DoomFinger511 some heroes don't wear capes, I guess :)
It causes in lots of homeless people (it depends on how big the city is) to suddenly appear in the same neighborhood. So it probably wasn't benefitial for the restaurant in a long term.
A couple months ago my school banned "the r word" and would suspend anyone who said it for at least a day. On the announcements, they said "today is the first day we are implementing a ban on the r word" to which about 7 people in my class simultaneously said "that's retarded".
Little known fact: 14 people were suspended immediately that day and 3 days later the rule was dropped.
The R word is sometimes used to bully Special-needs kids/autistic kids/etc
The school admin's heart was in the right place tbh.
That was actually a good rule to implement, honestly.
that's.... that's a slur tho
As a neurodivergent, I'm telling u rn that using the r slur has the same rules as saying the n slur, only a certain minority can say it. In this case, the only ones that can use the r slur r the disabled/neurotypical/neurodivergent community. So I do agree with that rule being implemented into ur school, it sucks they lifted that ban
My school had a rule called the no laughing rule: no laughing was allowed inside the school for any reason. During lunch, me and four other decide to start cracking offensive jokes. I made white jokes, Jamal made black jokes, Erin made Asian jokes, Jose made Latino and Puerto Rican jokes. The principal heard the laughter in the lunchroom, so he decided to come in and put a stop to it. When he came in, all four of us started dissing him. I started dissing him on his hair style. Jamal said the principal looked like a black captain spock with bad teeth. Erin started dissing him on how his name sounded like queef. I forgot what Jose was saying. All 4 of us got suspended. Shortly after, they had to remove the rule because it would cause %90 of the school to be suspended.

And then the whole cafeteria clapped
Hell of a squad ya got
When I was in high school, the new principal made a rule that we could only wear shorts on Fridays (we used to be able to wear them all week). This was during the hot months and we would all be sitting in class, sweating. The girls, however, could get past this rule by wearing skirts (as long as they reached their knees). The boys asked about this and the principal said that skirts were allowed as long as they were the proper length. The next day, over 50 boys showed up to school wearing skirts and more the next day after.
This should get more likes for how genius the boys were.
Holy shit that's amazing. I wish I went to that school just for the shits and giggles, and if I were the principal I'd probably just leave that rule in for a few weeks just because of how hilarious it is that a bunch of guys are just wearing skirts to school and cross dressing because shorts aren't allowed.
Fucking amazing.
Once saw a picture of such an event. Could have been your school, of somewhere with same stupid rules. BTW: how did the girls react?
i read that in a newspaper.
Stuff like that wouldn't work in some schools. Maybe a handful of boys would be brave enough to try wearing a skirt to school, and would probably get teased like hell for it. I could never see something like that happening at the schools I went too. Too many mean kids.
My high school tried to implement a no cellphone rule. We all got them confiscated by our first period teacher.
So a group of kids put alarms on their phones to go off at random intervals all day.
Full blast alarms at all hours all day.
Faculty didn’t budge.
Until they lost the rich kids brand new iPhone X.
As soon as the office smelled the lawsuit they sent out an email saying the rule was over.
They also tried getting the students to wear lanyards because apparently students who weren’t enrolled were coming to class.
People would forget lanyards in their cars, lockers, classrooms, lunch tables, everywhere.
They revoked the rule.
"Students who weren't enrolled were coming to class"
Do you mean students who weren't enrolled in that class or students who weren't enrolled in the school?
Who the heck would willingly go to a school they are not enrolled in? Unless they are targeting homeless kids with evil/no parents...sad.

One evening a few years ago, my high school principal called in a pickup truck to take away our soccer goalposts to the junkyard. The next day during morning service (Christian school, that why) he announced that students arent allowed to play sports on the field anymore during recess to prevent students from getting tired and sleeping in class. So we played in the car park area, which usually only holds the principal's car.
Last I heard that principal was fired sometime after I graduated, moved to another school, fired again, and is now trying to cut down Chinese language hours in a school famous for exactly that.

Boggles the mind how many people in management positions don't seem to grasp that if you've had a long-standing 'task-based' system for the workday or paychecks, and you switch it to 'time-based' where it's per hour or hours, productivity is going to plummet.
exactly. Why would we work 4x as hard and then get paid less for the effort? Seriously.

@Labyrinth9000 Yes, yes they are... 90% of the crap I deal with at my job is because someone in the main office decided that things needed to be done differently for some asinine reason... And get upset when things get worse after the change, so they change it again.
honestly "task-based" vs. "time-based" is a lose lose system, as in some cases the "task-based" system encourages employees to do a crappy job the first time to add in more "tasks" so everyone on those tasks make more money from the increased workload, and the video points out how "time-based" can hurt companies. I will also say call centers are the most common offenders with the "task-based" system problem I pointed out.
@@truekurayami The overstuffing problem is relatively easily solved if you add a customer satisfaction component to the task. For instance, you need to do x tasks with a min 3 star rating. Time based systems on the other hand are the worst. Too input focused rather than output focused

My middle school started a weird card system for lunch. There were 3 colors if i remember right.
Blue- Basically just meant whoever had one was a either great at getting away w/ shit, bought it off another student, or was simply ignored by teachers.
Yellow- Basically a warning type deal, and a good third of the school.
Orange/No Card- Almost everyone in the school.
For lunch the color of your card determined wither or not you actually got to eat lunch. Blue cards went first and got an entire lunch period. Yellow next with most of the lunch period. And orange last with 15 or so minutes to grab lunch an eat. And as someone who regularly got her card hidden by her cats i can tell you every student who had an orange or lost theirs went home hungry because all we had time for was grabbing our food and sitting down before being forced to throw it away.
This went on for two years. Students start bringing in snacks and selling them. Students would order food instead of lunch or literally walk off campus to the mall to eat. As far as i know its no longer a rule, but either way it was fucked up.
Another fuck fact- it cost five dollars for every card you lost. Most students at this school had parents that lived paycheck to paycheck.
And cards were exchanged every two weeks. Those that lost their cards never got new ones.
So thanks fucked up school managent for starving your children.
_So thanks fucked up school managent for starving your children._
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
I would've cuss the Frick out of the teachers even if I was in 6th grade and bring lunch. Good thing that my school doesn't do that
My school has a WORKING card system, but from preventing people to buy a better card we had our names on them. Our cards worked during our free hour.
Gold - Can go anywhere and doesn’t have to stay to a specific room
Silver - Has to stay with the teacher who drafted you but we could go anywhere on days Tuesday and Friday.
Bronze/ no card - has to stay in your drafted teachers room
I have silver and I literally just ask to go to another class room and they let me so it’s no big deal. They put it in so that kids who had bronze (based on grades) had to work on stuff, but everyone just asks to go to a different room
Lmao if my future children weren't properly provided lunch by the school and/or forced to pay for shitty cards I would be in that office so fast and raising such a scene. They'd need security/police if they wanted me out of there, that's such bullshit.

5:46 Holy hell. So about this "stoplight". Golden Rule Elementary in Denison, TX had a VERY similar system... and a very similar system was developed by the kids for dealing with it. I was in the fourth grade at the time. One day close to the start of spring, the old superintendent while we were screwing with this light walked in wielding a sledgehammer, and slammed that light off the wall and smashed it to pieces, turned back to us, and held the hammer up and grinned. The cheers and applause in that cafeteria was to the levels of a Superbowl game, I swear.
That school does not exist anymore, sadly.
My school had the same stoplight system. I think it took maybe a month before the cafeteria supervisors got tired of hearing it buzz all the time and turned the sound off. They kept it hanging on the wall for about a year after that, with nobody paying attention to it silently changing colors.
"That school does not exist anymore, sadly."

My elementary School had a light too, but it was a timer for the lunch period. Green was all good, yellow was start packing up you got 5 minutes, red was lunch over head back to class.
my school punished people who fought equally.
so if you jumped a guy he would get in just as much trouble as the guy that jumped him
and there was a 3 strikes policy
so if you knew a guy who had 2 strikes and you only had one you could jump him and even if you kicked the shit out of him he would get expelled and youd just get a suspension
You and 2 of your friends should have beaten the crap out of the principle on different occasions.
That's pretty much a typical "zero tolerance policy" situation. I graduated almost 25 years ago, and we had the same rule. The one and only time I got into a fight, I nearly killed the guy who hit me. When asked why, I said I knew I was going to get in trouble for fighting even if I didn't throw a single punch, so I wanted to defend myself to the point where nobody would attack me again. It worked.
I got the shit kicked out of me in middle school. I got 5 days in school suspension, no class, 4 wall room with no windows or sounds. The douche who beat me up got 2 days out of school vacation.
Well ur school is fucked
That school sounds like the educational institute version of The Hunger Games
My school used to open all the entrances in the morning, which were closer to the parking lot (although still a significant walk). Now they only open one or two resulting in a dreadfully long walk. In conjunction with this they shortened the window in which the doors where open and you could go into school. This of course, caused everyone to drive to school around the same time, creating 15-20 minute traffic jams. On a rainy day it was such a crap show the traffic would go for blocks the line to the attendance office (where you have to go if your late) would be way out the door. Anyway being 1 minute late and being 90 minutes late = the same punishment (being marked as tardy, but certain number of tardys gets you a Lunch D.T.) . So on a rainy days I would sit in traffic and watch all the kids scramble to make it all the way from the parking lot around to the front, then I would drive right pass the school to a nice little coffee shop where I would dry off, relax, take a breather, have a nice cup of coffee for a bout an hour and then would proceed back to school. Nearly every time I was in traffic and knew I wouldn’t make it on time I would just go get some coffee. There was no reason not too. Some other kids were aware of the punishment being the same, but only a couple would take advantage of it. I think some day they’ll fix it (like they could open all the entrances, expand the time window, make exceptions for tardiness due to weather related traffic, change what classifies as tardiness) as a significantly large amount of kids are tardy each day.
4:29
If you can't be friends with the people the grade above you and you can be friends with people with the grade below you, then it doesn't make sense.
For example, I am in 7th grade and I wanted to be friends with someone in 6th grade. It wouldn't work out because the 6th Grade can't be friends with people the grade above them. Which is me in 7th grade.
So you can only really be friends with people from the same grade.
Nice logic, School.

> No backpacks in the classroom

Schools that institute this rule usually mean that you put everything in a locker and bring only what you need to class, but I got around it because I needed a laptop and thus a bag to carry it in, so why not put all my binders, pencils, etc. in it too?
My school doesn't allow this either. They day it's so that you can't bring guns to school.
Idk if my school ever did this, but no one likes to use lockers in my old high school because you have to rent them for the year, and kids would break into other kids lockers to steal shit. Oh, teachers also had to know your passcode.
@@ivbaleinevi
That's pretty weird. The strictest I've experienced is at my current college, where you choose a locker for free. If somebody reports that their locker was locked by someone else, they put a warning notice on it. Then a few days later, if the locker is still occupied, they cut the lock and empty the locker out for the owner to use.

At a previous job’s office we had a sign that always made me laugh.
In the office in the kitchen there was a poster by the window that had a picture of the toaster with “Please do not throw burnt toast out of the window” written below it.
We were on the 3rd floor, and the window opened up into the car park. Whoever kept burning their toast thought throwing it out the window, was a better solution than the bin. It made me laugh to myself every time I saw it, clearly it happened multiple times that the company thought they had to do something about it.
The sign one day changed to, “Please do not throw any toast out of the window”.
Love the way someone saw the initial sign, and thought they’d found a loop hole, if I don’t burn the toast, it’s fine to throw out the window.
Around a week later there was another version, “Please do not throw anything out of the window”.
I like to think said perpetrator changed to bread as another loop hole. I left shortly after this, but would have loved to have seen if “Toastgate” had carried on.
I love secret shit disturbers who have fun without wrecking anything for real.
Lol I would have been that guy to throw non-burnt toast and then probably some yogurt out the window when they changed the sign to "don't throw toast".
They were probably tossing it to some birds outside, like the kind person they are, but someone's car got bird shit on it, so they put up that sign. :P

Apparently, my school was on a competition or whatever for the cleanest school. Then, a stupid rule came out : all trashcans are removed from the school area and the trash (supposedly) would be brung home by the students and teachers. Naturally the classes tried a system in which the cleaning secretary of the class would bring a trashbag and all the class's trash would go there and by the end of the day people on the class's cleaning schedule would throw the trash out somewhere else. The problem is that the students are reluctant to go the mile (and i would not blame them.) and just left the trashbag there for approximately a week or so. The trashbag eventually puts out a horrid smell, where the teachers would tell the students on the cleaning schedule that day to dispose the trashbag. Except, they wont, and the whole process repeats itself until someone cares.
And yes the rule is still there.

My school decided to make the doors lock on the outside and always get closed in the moment that the bell rings.
Problem is, the sports field was on the other side of the fenced area, and if you we're playing a sport, you had to leave 1 minute before the bell ringed just to make it in time.
Also in our school teachers we're usually late, sometimes even 5 or 10 minutes, and the policy of locked doors was to not disturb the class after it started. The principal usually was late 20 minutes everyday to class. So if I get to school at x:59, I won't make it to class, because the door closes.
Also a*shole classmates who would lock the door when entering.
I remember that some guy broke the system and made a door open from the outside. No idea how he did it...
My class from 5th to 8th grade was always pretty loud and rowdy. Our head teacher always claimed that it was because we consumed too much sugar, and we'd have those weeks where all sugary drinks and snacks were forbidden, or there would be consequences.

Always after 2 weeks or so, he would claim that we had learned our lesson and stopped the rule again.

In 8th grade, my principle had the bright idea of Implementing "silent lunch". They thought it was a good idea to make us silent for the last few minutes of lunch every day. That rule didn't even last 2 weeks.
When I was in middle school, some state regulations were passed that forced those of us who bought to get at least one bag of carrots at lunch (lucky me, I packed). After a little while, the carrots just became projectiles, so the school decided to give us raisins instead.
Boy, was that a mistake.
We ended up creating a massive wall of raisins in the boys bathroom. We got up to at least 200 before a teacher finally took them down. The year ended not long after this, so luckily no more harm could be done.
My old school never had the uniform rule until the next year when I was in 8th grade. At first, all you had to wear was a light blue/dark blue polo uniform shirt and uniform pants, alot of kids in the school didn't bother doing so of course, wearing whatever they want ect. Most of the times they'd get in trouble depending of course but they really didn't care. That year you had to wear a crest on your shirt/or fleece with the schools mascot and logo. This pretty much backfired since now kids had to tell there parents to basically just waste more money on already expensive uniform and have a uniform store (I think) sew the thing in the shirt/fleece. It was expensive also, and alot of parents weren't happy about it including my mom since she couldn't afford it, so I had to wear borrowed sewed in logo shirts from the office throughout the day (which was a pain in the ass bcs they didn't always have my size) sometimes they'd give me a free pass to just keep wearing my fleece knowing so. But still, it was stupid and not everybody was happy, especially since it didn't do anything at all, litterly, imagine seeing a hallway full of kids who didn't wear uniform. Yeah, a waste of people's money and time.

Anyways, that ended up causing all of us getting pissed and about 1000-1500 kids held a protest/sit in in all 4 locker banks (basically kids skipped class and sat on top of the lockers during class time and refused to move) I have vague memories of security guards literally pulling kids off the lockers and holding them on the ground which was very unnecessary if you ask me.

That was maybe 3 years ago(?) My sister and brother now go to that high school and they’ll never understand what we went through to get their fuckin benches.
The first year my high school was opened (new school for the town) they decided they wanted to change the grading system.
A was now a D
B was now an A
C was still a C
But if you got anything below a C(70) like 69, it counted as an automatic 0. So it killed your grade point average. They believed this would make students try harder. The first year the school was open 20 students did not got to summer school, the rest of the students in the entire school went to summer school.
This lasted for the first 2 years. After that they changed it back because the failure rate of students was so high the school was under an investigation and gonna get discredited. (I think I'm using the correct term)
I still remember telling my mom about the change. She didn't believe me even after i showed her the student handbook. She went to the school on the 2nd day and had to hear it directly from the people in the office.
Dumbest people running a school ever. Her words.
There was so much wrong with that place I could write a book series about it.
If anyone tells you that high school is supposed to be the best years of your life, they are full of shit, and we're probably failures.
Please explain how an A would be A D
What did I just read
@@mexicanhero1999 I'm guessing the grading itself didn't change it's just the way that the grading was letter marked. So basically getting a 90-100 meant that you aced the class but it would just be marked as a D on your report card. Same thing with B now being marked as A. Sounds insanely stupid and meaningless if you ask me.
@@mexicanhero1999 when your grade on a paper was 90-100 you got a D
80-89 it was an A
70-79 it was a C, but the teachers were not allowed to actually write down a C as a grade, they had to write Competent
So many students were getting in trouble comming home with D on their paper cause they wouldn't write down the numerical grade and the parents wouldn't believe a D was good.
My buddy Nate had a dad that was a cop and would literally beat the shit outta his son for coming home with D's
@@Menfhis24 you got it
Had a HS administrator try to tell me that I needed my parents to sign off on changing my computer password. I politely looked at her and informed her that my 18th birthday had been on Friday I was now of legal age so no I didn't need any parental oversight to change my password. She really was a control freak and I've no doubt that my parents were informed of my updated password.
Adarcus You need to be 18 to change your password for school devices? Tf?
It may be considered "entering a contract", which minors can't legally do -- and when they do, they basically can flake out on the agreement because the other party never should have accepted it. You can't enforce contracts made with MIMI: Minor, Intoxicated, Mentally Incompetent.
So yes, parents _absolutely_ need to sign off on this stuff if there is to be any legal weight behind it at all, except in those cases of 18 year olds that haven't yet graduated.
Adarcus That shit is how I had “Strawberry” all the way till graduation lol
My school had a skirt length rule but they were smart enough to tell the male teachers that they would need to find a female teacher to actually tell the girl to lower their skirt length
You’d regularly see male teachers dragging girls down the hall looking for female teachers.
One time my school banned banter. Yeah, the concept of banter. Their excuse was that banter was basically bullying but with friends and they had a zero tolerance policy on bullying.
They went as far as to put up signs around the school with the word banter and a massive red X through it but because no one actually defined banter, and it was a stupid rule, no one stopped and the teachers couldn’t tell if they were ‘bantering’ or not.
The rule was scrapped quite quickly.
good cause thats crazy
A couple I wanna mention.
"Moving not standing policy" basically don't stand all in the hallways during transitions so you can't talk to your friends between classes, so everyone just walks around in circles to talk to them for 3 min before going to class.
I had several teachers that tried to totally ban bathroom breaks during their class telling us to "just go during the transition". Bitch. I'm in this class for an hour and a half, there's a good chance I didn't have to go then, the bathrooms are so full during transitions you can't even get in them, AND I somehow always ended up with a schedule that had me jogging to make it on time because my classes would be on opposite ends of the school.
Finally, it's junior year and I was in marching band. The band locker under mine was unused and had an outlet in the back, so me and my best friend put a coffee maker in it. We had coffee, coffee filters, ramen packets, bottled water, tea bags, loose leaf tea, disposable Dixie Styrofoam coffee cups, and pop tarts all in there with our little 5 cup Mr coffee (it was a pretty sizable locker that could comfortably fit a tenor sax case and a couple binders). One day, we're staying after school and making some ramen in the coffee maker, principal finds us and tells us to go home or go to his office, we gather our setup and go home. Next day he's pissed we didn't go to his office but we're adamant that there was no rule against our coffee maker, we don't get in trouble. The day after we argue it, there's an announcement over the intercom that home appliances are now banned and anyone caught with them will be punished, much confusion as people wonder who brought appliances and I'm trying not to bust out laughing. The next year the rule was added to the student handbook and during our beginning of the year "here's the rules, don't be dumb" seminar it even had its own slide on the PowerPoint. I was so proud, still am tbh.
I'm also proud of you.
That middle one happens at mine, after 5 times our band director just gave us detentions. I despise that woman.
Today I learned I can make ramen in a coffee maker. Thank you for your wisdom
Every rule that's ever been created has a story like this behind it. Always remember that when you find a rule or law that is particularly baffling. It is incredibly fun trying to imagine the scenario that could have caused the rule.
"I had several teachers that tried to totally ban bathroom breaks during their class telling us to "just go during the transition"."
Reminds me of my school. Teachers would tell us to "use the bathroom during the breaks, because that's what the breaks are for". They would also tell us that "we aren't allowed inside the school building during breaks". Which was kind of contradicting their first statement, because of course restrooms are located inside school buildings...
Lunch should be a time for students to socialize.. In my school, you can talk as much as you want and you can literally eat anywhere like in cafeterias, malls, restaurants, fast food chains, etc. All that in an hour and a half.
I guess wherever you live, they don't hate children?
In my schools lunch was 30 minutes and you couldn't leave the cafeteria. You couldn't order delivery, either.
Our lunch is fifteen minutes and we aren’t allowed to leave the room (cafeteria) can I trade lives with you dude?
Hansillustrations What?? It takes me around 15 minutes to grab things from my locker and/or walk to a restaurant/get food from the cafeteria.
Yup. I always have to pack really small lunches that usually are just like an apple and a few pretzels. And all the teachers wonder why we all try to eat in class 😐
Exam cat, i require your magics.
Also, great content, btw!
My bully in middle school loved to use zero tolerance policy shit to make my life miserable.
Gotta learn self defense for that reason
I'm always fascinated by the sheer arrogance of management:
Manager: "We are enacting new rule 'x' which will help so much with productivity"
- productivity utterly plummets as a result of new rule "x"
Management underling: "Sir, maybe we should go back to the way things were before the new rule, things were running well, and people were generally happy and wanted to work? We wouldn't even have to admit that we were just being greedy, micromanaging pricks, we could just say that we've decided that things worked better before and are going back to it."
Manager: "No. This will work, we just need more time. There's no way I could possibly be wrong about this. I AM GOD!"
- 1 year later
Manager: "I have an idea! What if we go back to the way things used to be. We wouldn't even have to admit our intentions for making the change. We could just say that we are going back to what we know worked at one time. Man, I'm good at my job."
Why is damn near every manager, Zapp Brannigan?
-"Do you want to talk to the person in charge, or someone who actually knows what's going on?"
"I AM GOD" keke now sætre kjeks crumbs are all over my keyboard

@@asmallemu9954 I just really like your name
My primary school in England, a catholic school, was quite mixed, but mostly white people and Pakistanis.
In my last year, they brought in a rule where only catholic people could join the school from now on.
The next year, the entire Reception was polish
Considering the grooming gang scandals that have been happening for decades now, your school might have dodged a bullet there.
Sounds fake. That is grounds for religious discrimination, and a VERY big lawsuit.
@@raerohan4241 well, maybe not. As many catholic schools are private (owned by the church) they can impose whatever requirement they want for the admission. Just like the boss of a factory: he can choose whoever work for him, basing the chooise even on the color of the hairs. Neither can throw out those already inside, thoo, unless for justified motivation.
ignoto82dr Ah, I missed the part of the comment that said it was a Catholic school. My mistake.
@Marechal Zolotoy Have you even seen what Europe has turned into in the last 10 years because of eastern immigrants?
My school's dress code, hats are not allowed, so I worn a cowboy hat and nobody said anything
My school has a lot of things that have backfired from teachers to students.
1. We aren’t allowed to have phones but people carry them around anyway and the teachers act as if we are setting up a drug deal and they would lose our phones from time to time
2. Toys such as slime, fidget spinners, and cards were banned but who tf cared we still brought them
3. Vaping and crap like that
4. Blankets, we weren’t allowed to have blankets but people brought them around the last week of school
5.Hoodies over uniforms because it’s not our proper school jacket yet the girls brought them almost every day
6. Basketballs, the baby kind, were taken even tho a teacher let the boys set up a cardboard hoop in her class and they brought their own basketball
7. Teachers dress code, I understand a good dress but some had short skirts, heels, nails that are claws that are painted, dangling earrings, there was one teacher with a button up shirt and there was a hole and you could see her tropical pattern bra.
8. Students dress codes, No joggers (like sweatpants and we were only notified like kid month) like joggers don’t look tight on a guy. Leggings were banned so were begging s but girls came in with tight Jeans, there was a transfer kid with an ass on his jacket yet no one cared. On a day we were allowed to dress up as whoever yet we didn’t know we didn’t have to abide by the dress code so there would be little girls with little dresses and I had a loose onesie.
9. Electronics rule, “You should turn in your electronics and you are responsible for it” or something like that and people kept going around saying if I can be responsible with it I should be allowed to carry it around. A lot of people did and had reasons, they wanted their phones to call their parents if they were in a really bad dilemma, or if they needed something, or if the helicopter parents needed to check them every 2 seconds.
10. Pillows, apparently they aren’t allowed yet like the blankets, they were brought around the last week of school
11. My music teacher wouldn’t let me play my ukulele in her class... even when we weren’t doing anything. I get I was bothering her a bit but I would even mute it and she would still complain.
12. Our DRESSCODE FOR OUR CONCERTS, our music teacher said we couldn’t wear shorts for a *SPORTS THEMED CONCERT* and we were fine with it until I saw the kids under our grade wear shorts....
13. Taking photos, we aren’t allowed to because parental consent and stuff like that but people do it anyway so they can’t do anything out of campus.
I will add more when I read through our handbook 😂
"No revealing tank tops or spaghetti strap tops"
The rule was NEVER enforced on the really well endowed girls.
Slamdangles as a girl with big ole waggaboggalongas I can attest that I was dress coded for shorts, but NEVER on my shirts.
randomfandom kiddo that word. I’m going to use it in a sentence one day
I wish they would actually enforce their dress code. A girl in my class today was wearing short shorts, and a girl a grade above was as well. I know many girls who wear spaghetti strap tops and have bra straps showing and a word is never said. And a lot of the girls wear leggings and pants that are far too tight. And also significant holes above the knees. Should we just rip the rule book up because they're not enforcing dress code and also many other rules.
@@WolfPlayz294 It took me the longest time to understand and fully accept that the reason why those rules aren't enforced is because the adults like checking them out. They WANT them to dress like that.
@@slamdangles That's not the case here; they're just lazy. Me on the other hand... It's not perverted if we're the same age. Kidding.
There are many other rules they don't enforce (that have nothing to do with attire) that they don't enforce. If you tell them that A is doing B they'll say that they can't do that but never actually do anything and the actions will continue uninterrupted.
I have a story.
So, my school has a thing where all the kids have to go outside and do a bunch of activities to raise money. For some reason, my school for some reason thought it would be a good idea to not give water to the kids that they were forcing to run around outside unless they had a water bottle. They had cups originally but threw them away after they were told to only give water to kids with a water bottle, so there were just a bunch of unused cups in the trash. A bunch of kids (including myself) began fishing the cups out of the trash, which the people who were providing water were apparently fine with and then gave us water.
I'm pretty sure my mom reported them or something after I told her.
DUDE THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT THING!!! We had one at my elementary school. It was only used once though
My comprehensive school had a 'meal ticket' for poor pupils but it only amounted to something like £2. When the catering company jacked up its prices, that could only get you a sandwich and a bottle of water. So we decided to organise a mass protest (hundreds of teenagers) where we all ate packed lunches on the playground outside.
The cafeteria was completely deserted, and we were joined by dinnerladies and a few teachers. The headmaster came out and threatened to call our parents, but we knew he wouldn't be able to call every one of our parents so we called his bluff.
The school eventually caved in and came to a compromise with the caterers. It was the first protest I'd ever been part of, and I felt so powerful that day. We even sang We Shall Not Be Moved! It's amazing what a little solidarity can achieve.
No running in the halls, all staircases were one way only on opposite ends of the school, and no bookbags or backpacks. Oh, and no tolerance for tardiness. That means that if nearly all your classes were on the first floor, you had to go all the way to the end of one hallway, go up, get to your locker, open it and get your books, go all the way to the other end, go down, then walk all the way to your classroom. *In five minutes.*
Lockers were assigned randomly with no procedure for requesting a change, and the school was a long rectangle, with one stairway at each end, and the one for going up was at the end furthest from the school's entrance, the one for going down right next to the entrance. Oh, and if you were caught running or even walking fast, teachers would force you to walk all the way to the end of the hallway or the other end of the stairs and make you walk it again. And there were eight classes a day, requiring eight books total for all classes. All of the books were large hardcovers. And the teachers regularly gave out homework assignments.
After a teacher got fed up with my constant tardies, and wouldn't accept my explanations, I asked her to walk my morning walk. I was able to prove to her that it was physically impossible for me to go from one end of the school to the other, go upstairs, go to the other end of the school, go downstairs, and then walk to the end of the hallway *AGAIN* so I could get to her class within the five minutes between when the school opened its front door (It was literally locked until 8:00am, and no one but faculty was allowed inside beforehand). And that's without having to carry twenty to thirty pounds of books (At 12 years old, that's insanely heavy) without a backpack or bookbag (This was shortly after Columbine, so in spite of this being a well-to-do area, everyone was paranoid). The teacher asked me why I didn't just carry her book home with me and carry it with me when I walked in. I reiterated that all but one of my classes were on the first floor, so unless I carried all thirty pounds of book with me all through the school day, and both to and from home, I was going to be late for somebody's class. That, or I was going to end up with a hernia at twelve years old.
The rules weren't changed or adjusted within my six months at that school, but I did get a new locker three weeks after that demonstration... which was a day before my family and I moved out of that town. F--- that school.
No running in the halls.☝️ Detention.
@RogerwilcoFoxtrot i calculated that you can do this task three minutes faster when everything goes perfect, so i am giving you five minutes less per task. Now start moving, slave!
I had a similar problem in high school and one bitch of a teacher would send me to the office for being a few seconds late. So, I would check my watch before walking through the door. If I was late, I just wouldn't go in. I wasn't going to waste my time in the office, every dam day. I'd sooner go to the library and get my homework done, so I don't have to do it at home.
@RogerwilcoFoxtrot Wait, wait, wait... 4 minute passing time?! Absolute madness. I literally had to jog between classes, and I had 7 minutes of passing time! Of course, I suppose it depends on the size of the school, our pool was at least 50 meters away from the school down 4 flights of stairs.
My dad worked at a shopping mall when he was in college, and his manager would come up to him 15 minutes before closing, and saying that the shop must be restocked, only to be destocked 15 minutes later, of course.
One day the manager did that again, and my dad quit 5 minutes later.
*Good job, dad.*
*and this was the story on how he got homeless* would be a way better ending imo
4:21 is contradictory.
If you're allowed to be friends with the grade below you, but the grade below you isn't allowed to be friends with you, which takes priority?
Does it matter who started the friendship? Does it matter who said the first word in the conversation that made them friends?
I think that’s why it didn’t last long
I had a student cleaning job, and I had to clean an office in the weekends. I worked for a cleaning company that was contracted out to other businesses. The quality control clause in the contract that specific business had signed gave my boss a right to make unannounced (to me) visits to see if I did the job right, so I wouldn't clean extra well right before they came by.
They once came to check my work on a Thursday, literally one day before the next cleaning day, and I got written up for all sorts of things that were "unacceptable".
The next day the HR-person from the business came by and apologized on behalf of my boss... They said they told my boss to never come by on another day other than on a Monday. It made the relationship between me and my boss pretty awkward afterwards. I never saw her again - all our interactions afterwards were through text or email, until she quit due to a "stressful environment"...
