Uhm as a girl, I wear black to prevent my period from showing (just in case). It also hides stains for kids who can’t afford to get new clothes, covers parts of your body you may not want to draw attention to, and absorbs the suns rays which keeps people warm in winter. How are you gonna ban the most useful color?
True. How can I be the menace that wears a black sweatshirt and sweatpants in summer and become a living radiator? Also, literally every pair of pants I have are black, like mfer I need that color so my dingaling won’t be dangling 😭
it also is very good for not drawing attention to yourself a lot of people have social anxiety or don't like other people and need something to hide behind like black clothes.
Guys are schools actually blaming student’s depression on wearing black?! That’s literally so stupid, school is the reason! If you don’t want us to be depressed don’t treat us like shit!
The way schools find the funding for resources to restrict students but won’t put any effort or money into updating the education system or better and a more reasonable curriculum is beyond me. You want me to wake up early every day and be content with being herded like sheep into little rooms and the eat food that is comparable to food that prisoners get all while abiding by every rule and restriction you tell me? For what reason? School has not become a benefit for kids anymore they don’t teach children so that they learn they teach students to pass the standardized state tests so that they can get more funding. Will they only reform schools when students finally decide that they need to take drastic measures? For Americas sake I hope not 😬
I also have problems but I wear black because it’s the only color that looks good on me, if I even try to wear white I look like a bedsheet. Most colors don’t go well with white hair :(
last week there was a shooting at my best friend’s school. my friend had their phone and was able to text me and their parents “ hey my school just went in lockdown, i heard gunshots. if anything happens just know that i love you” then, when they evacuated the students, my friend was able to call us and tell us that they were okay. the families of students who didn’t have their phones had no idea if their kid was okay or not until hours later. although phones are a distraction, with the state that america is in, we can’t take phones away from students because of situations like these.
you’re right but it’s so fucking ridiculous that it’s reached a point where we can’t ban phones in school because there are regularly shootings in which children need their phones send their possible last words to their parents. and that out of phones and guns, it’s the phones that are getting banned.
We had a lockdown at my school and I heard gunshots and screaming, I couldn't even text my mom or my friends in other schools bc we can't have our phones out, I was crying and my mind was racing and I just wanted my mom to know that I love her...
i live in scotland and there hasn't been a school shooting here since the 90's but i have a friend who lives in Maine and she's terrified to go to school it's seriously so horrible and i hope ur friend is okay
i talked to my biology teacher a few days ago about phone bans. he said he wishes they were done at our school, and i told him i disagree because of school shootings. he straight up laughed and said "okay, but realistically, how likely is that to happen?" the next day a fourteen-year-old student opened fire in his high school in georgia. i'm firmly anti-phone ban. edit: why are people fighting in the replies
my high school had pretty normal dress code for a public school. no tank tops, shorts had to be a certain length, no holes in your jeans above the knees, no hats etc. i genuinely can't think of a good reason to ban the color black, that takes away at least half my clothing options. and what's the line? if i wear a black shirt with a pattern/words on it is that allowed? or if just my shirt is black is that too much? it seems so arbitrary and just a way to inconvenience everybody. and i can PROMISE wearing black wasn't (and still isn't) affecting my mental health, it was waking up at 6am each day. i also understand phone bans TO A DEGREE- you shouldn't be on your phone in class unless it's some kind of emergency/necessity. some people might actually need their phone to monitor a health condition or as an accessibility tool. or, if there's an emergency, they can call for help. it's easier just to write up people who are being irresponsible, or just let them face the consequences of not paying attention.
A problem with banning phones in schools is like if there is a school shooting, who's calling 911 if the the teachers don't find out immediately ?? Who's calling their parents to say goodbye to them in that event, who's calling 911 if there is a fire and a teacher refuses to belive a student and all the fire alarms are got locked up so the kids can't prank pull them ? And what if a kid has strict or helicopter parents and they have to keep their parents updated extremely often ? The phone ban doesn't make much sense except for like to make sure your kids aren't cheating or something -a confused person who was homeschooled
The idea is that the school is supposed to contact the parents instead. As a student is unable to stay calm enough to explain the situation, while someone else can. Is it a good explanation: no is it an explanation: yes
@@candicraveingcloude2822 that's literally so dumb, maybe if schools taught the kids what to do in a stressful situation they wouldn't freak out like tf
I’m so tired of students having no rights in their education areas. Banning mirrors in the bathroom, dress codes, no phone usage at all, etc. so many of the problems would be fixed with giving their students a voice. If I could have my phone at lunch and in between classes then maybe I wouldn’t be using it during class to text my mom. If we taught students to behave themselves instead of enabling their disgusting behaviour, I could wear an actual tank top in 90-100 degree weather with a pair of shorts. Students don’t respect teachers because they don’t want to be there. Schools are such miserable environments that I literally have panic attacks thinking about going back on Sunday. It’s a horrible atmosphere, and the last thing I want to do is take notes and listen to a lecture while signing a dress code slip.
im an adult and its literally bull how minors have no rights and how you’re just supposed to bow down to the adults just because they’re “authority figures” and not allowed to have any opinions just shut up and listen. i had so many problems growing up because of it, many of them abuse their power
absolutely NOBODY at my school (with the exception of me, because im emo) wears all black CONSISTENTLY. i am 100% sure they’re citing “mental health issues” because of the fact that the rate of mental health issues in the alternative community specifically are so high. BUT, even though alt people are prone to have problems mentally, this is a stereotype. not everyone who dresses emo, or goth, or punk is depressed. just like how people who DON’T dress alternative can be depressed. it’s not a requirement to be emo if you have bad mental health. it is clothing. it is something you WEAR. let kids wear black clothes if they want to wear black clothes.
For me I feel like if you don’t want to be seen in school you wear black which is so real and understandable to me like I never wanted to talk to anyone when I was in school
My school (UK). we cant: Dye our hair any unnatural colours Wear makeup / do our nails (no nail polish either) No doors on the toilets (and its conjoined w the boys. a room that is half pink and half blue. This is really weird as hyjabi girls cannot fix their hyjab because its exposed and boys can see it) We arent allowed to go during lesson time (even if ur on ur period you have to wait until lunch which is at 1:30 btw) We only have 10 minute break and 30 minute lunch which isnt enough time (especially for me because i have braces and eat slow) Drink water without asking We have a uniform and includes a blazer and an optional grey jacket. 30 minute detention if you take off the blazor at any times (even in summer) Boys cant have patterns or those two faded lines in their hair because its "distracting" We can bring a phone but it has to be turned off and in our bag (even if there was an emergency we arent allowed to use it) All there is for lunch is pasta sauce and cheese. and they dont even cook it correctly most the time Cant wear leggings instead of trousers (headteacher told my friend that she was too "curvy" to wear leggings???) We have to have our shirts tucked in 24/7 otherwise youll die according to the teachers we have to bring in 2 pens, pencil, rubber, calculator, ruler and a pencil case. if u dont bring in ONE item (like 1 pen not 2) its an hour detention after school. Im so sick of this school its not even funny
Bro imagine going to school and u cant wear normal clothes, have no firm of communication and cant even talk to anyone cause ur school banned everything, BROO THATS CALLED A PRISON
I'm in the middle East and we've had these rules for like forever we can't wear any colors just black and white clothes WE CANT EVEN WEAR OUR CLOTHES ITS UGLY ASS UNIFORMS and about the phones they would literally yell at you if you had it at school and they would take it and give it back at the END OF THE SEMESTER like dude wtf??? And there was never mirror's in school because its like a sin for them for someone to look good like I'm sorry for trying to look my best in public?? And we couldn't wear make up or have long nails or anything it's like you're going to jail it's exhausting really you can't even do anything and the break is so dhirt it's like 10 minutes and the classes are like 45 minutes and there is no break between the classes you just stay in the same class and the teachers go out and in like my ass is numb after sitting on those wooden chairs
its crazy how much schools are genuinely ruining kids’ mental health, by claiming what theyre doing is better for their mental health. teenagehood is a rough time, and some people do use their phones as a distraction, which can drop their grades if they arent careful. but for teachers, its fine if you see someone using their phone and take it away to make them focus, but to have everyone lock their phones in a magnetic locking pouch until the end of the day instead of using that money to pay teachers, or provide school supplies is genuinely crazy.
I live in Portugal, so not allowing phones was already normal in my school (my school is a private school and it's terrible). But if they take away the mirrors, I'm so f-cked. I NEED THEM FOR MY CONTACTS- (Not the contacts on your phone, I'm talking about what I use to LITERALLY SEE)
Yea Most private schools are bad you just gotta hope you're lucky and get the good ones I've been in provate school for 4 years and just now my old school I returned to is decent The first decent one I went to try to look for private schools that allow/have alot of disabled kids they are easier cause the standards are lower
Someone from Georgia here! Today we had a school shooting, I couldn’t imagine having no phone during a school shooting. There were messages released to the public from some of the kids who texted their parents. But just situations where you NEED your phone. Edit: I am ok, 4 people died 9 people were hospitalized. The shooter's name was Colt Gray, and he was a 14-year-old student
from cali, one of my teachers mentioned that shooting directly after talking about our stricter phone policy and that was my first thought. the reason most parents give kids phones in the first place is for safety. them being as strict as they are now in places as populated and dangerous as LA is such a disaster
as a student, i understand the “no phones in class” rule, but my school (florida) has this pocket thing on the back of the door were you put your phone, IF YOU USE IT IN CLASS meaning you can keep it in your bag until class end or the teacher says you can use it! but the thing is, even if you have you phone in the pocket you can easily grab it in case of an emergency! (i believe this is actually a great idea, and it works well too)
My school (texas) does this aswell, except lately it's been very strict about only having your phone in the pocket, but most of my teachers are pretty chill about it 👍🏻
12:17 some kids wear black as a ‘safe color’ since everything matches black, (and it can hide chest/ over sexualized parts of the body, or depending on what you wear help with how your perceived) also some kids have body issues or self harming issues, and some kids just think it looks cool.
As a californian, my sister attends a school that absolutely does not care about their students. There was recently a fire by my sister’s school and they were still required to be at school, which is insane considering how that can affect their health (stuff like breathing in the smoke, ashes all over the floor, etc.) The principal also said (which just proves that she doesn’t care about the students’ mental health), “Okay, (student’s name) is getting bullied, as long is the student getting bullied isn’t self harming, I don’t care and that student isn’t getting provided a therapist.” That is just insane to me.
I’m from California and the kids there are only getting worse. The teachers don’t have the resources to try to control every student and their behavior.
That's unfortunate, as a fellow Californian, I had a whole week off of school because of a fire nearby. You could even smell the smoke inside the house, I think it lasted for a couple days. I also had Homecoming this same week on Saturday, but it was most likely canceled.
I go to Achieveable dream in Newport News and there was shooting across the street from us. Two teens died and heritage and Menchville had no school that day but for some reason we still had school and the principal acted like nothing happened
I dont understand the country that has so many literal school shootings wanting to take away phones, bc if those magnets aren't accesable in emergency situations that just sounds really dangerous as much as its not good for education 😭
@@voidsnail how in the name of God is a kid ducked at the back of the classroom during a shooter situation fona be able to go to the office and call their parents
im british, no mirrors in the bathrooms, yondr pouches you'd have to pay £15 to replace if you lost/damaged it, no door to the toilet rooms and cctv cameras right outside (there were cubicle doors tho obviously), some toilets were barricaded off during lessons, you had to have a toilet pass or time out pass to leave and go to the toilets, frequent bag searches for phones/vapes and isolations or detention if you had them on you, no nail polish of any colour, detention if you rolled your skirt, specific sock colours you had to have for each uniform (we were a merged co-ed school with different uniforms and pe kits), one piercing on the ears and no other piercings whatsoever (not even nose ones), hair up and all jewellery off for pe, no rings or bracelets whatsoever and no necklaces unless they were a cross, star or other religious symbol
My teacher banned using the bathroom unless it’s during our five minute passing period but when classes are across campus it takes five minutes to get to class
In the uk we don’t even get a passing period and if you ask to go to the toilet in lesson your told no unless you have a medical pass from a doctor or your genuinely going to wee yourself
Back in my middle school, you need to have a key to get in, and you have to get it from your teachers. Imagine being on your period or needing to use the bathroom so bad, but can't because the doors are locked. Not to mention you can't use the bathing within the first or last 5-10 minutes of class
I have no problem with the phone problem. What I do have a problem with is how they are so focused on these bans and enforcing them, but we cant put any more effort into stopping gun violence.
Or more awareness into why people do these kinds of things. Like telling a kid they “can’t” do something literally only makes them want to do it more. At the very least tell them why they “can’t” or rather shouldn’t*
yea, no phones are fine but they should be focusing on other stuff. Playing roblox during math class is nothing compared to what happened in georgia a few days ago.
@st4rry0npawz the shooting happened just about 1 hour away from my school. It's scary, and they promise all this security stuff but I see more focus on the dress code than anything
i just graduated high school in june, and the "e-hallpass" was SO annoying. being fully 18 and having to ask to use the bathroom, and then having to wait for the teacher stop class to accept my pass request was so annoying. then having to raise my hand when i got back to ask if they could "please end my pass". so weird and frustrating. also, for a period of time during covid around my sophomore year, we weren't allowed to use the bathroom for the first ten minutes of class or the last 10 minutes, meaning you would have to go during the 20 minutes in between where you're actually learning something. so happy to be in college and free
YES. WE HAVE BOTH THESE TOO. i’m from indiana where we have a complete phone ban and my friends joke at me about being addicted but like… my parents text me info i need to know, checking the time, telling my parents info, being able to find friends easier TO SOCIALIZE., to check my notes app for passwords, to listen to music, (because they have music platforms blocked) to take a picture of the notes i need and so on and so forth. genuinely i believe our society is so reliant on them you can’t just “lock them away” and call it good. plus, i KNOW there are kids who need it more than i do too. i really just don’t understand. so far, from all my friends in school and across the area, everyone keeps them in their pencil pouch, (including myself) 🤷♀️ the THREAT of taking away phones helps. the ban does not. it’s so irritating, and frankly, he’s right 😭 school is SO boring sometimes. edit: also listening to music is seriously the only thing that helps me focus. like, i cannot do any work in silence… so for me, this phone ban is affecting my grades NEGATIVELY. my anxiety goes thru the roof just in case something happens and i don’t have any access to it. it’s so anxiety inducing which leads to me not being able to focus!!!! you’re making my academic life worse and my mental health worrrssseeeeee
I just hate asking teachers in general to go do my business, I just find it weird. Sure, I get that you gotta state where you're going but holy hell, I don't wanna tell the class when I gotta use the restroom. But it's weird, awkward and not for kids who want to talk.
Just graduated from a public high school, here's some of the craziest shit: -No doors on the bathrooms, many stall doors were broken so that wasn't fun -You need a signed pass from a teacher to use the bathroom -You only get 5 passes a month -You needed a 504 plan or an IEP to get a quiet space for work, but the school often denied those to kids on free/reduced lunch programs -The nurse played favorites, if she didn't like you she'd accuse you of skipping class -Hats, phones, and swears on shirts were supposedly banned but nobody ever followed that tbh -There was a fucking gas leak and they didn't let us leave so I called my dad and pretended he had an emergency Oh also our school made NATIONAL NEWS because the athletic director faked a recording of the principal being racist. He is racist, but the recording was fake. Everyone hated him though so it's ok
5 passes!?!?!? my school only had 3 a month and you had to sign out on a sheet AND get a signed pass just to leave the room. and those 3 passes arent just for the bathroom its for just LEAVING THE ROOM-.. gosh man i hate highschool. cant wait for graduation
Based on the school sh00ting that happened yesterday in Georgia where 2 kids died, the no phone rule is not going to go well. My school doesn’t have strict phone rules (they either stay in your backpack or in a pencil case) but my mom has said that if they ever do the magnetic bags to hide my phone in my bag so I can contact her if something happens. School isn’t a safe place anymore and everything they try to do to make it “safer” makes it worse
When I went to school, I witnessed the transition to banning open campus'. And then I went through the ban of staying indoors during lunch. Some teachers let students in their classrooms under the guise of "doing work". One of my teachers allowed me and a select few to stay in her classroom because it was raining outside. Things are getting very restrictive, it's sad to see
What the hell? I graduated 5 years ago and I was starting to notice students losing freedoms towards the end of my time in high school. I didn't think it would get worse. Even before it got this bad, I had a hard time adjusting to college because the freedom felt so foreign. This is a horrible way to prepare students for the future, unless you're trying to prepare them for prison...
This is so true. These kids aren't going to be prepared for the amount of freedom they get in college and the real world. Let them experience at least a little bit of it at school.
with the amount of school shootings happening, it scares me to think that my school is going to take away my only line of communication and ill die without being able to tell my family that I love them one last time. banning phones is wrong. there have always been incidents where kids called the police and saved lives because there was someone with a weapon or having a medical emergency. I completely understand saying no phones during class and having them put away during class, but with the state of the US today, I genuinely fear not having my phone during school because I might get shot in class and I just want to tell my family that I love them in case I die.
Banning phones is not wrong and I'm sure if there was a case like that, they would unlock them and even then I could be a good thing to not have a bunch of freaked out kids on their phones reading unconfirmed information.

In an emergency such as a shooting as a student fuck the phones bruh we're either hiding or fighting for our life, also it would take more time out of our lives just to get the damn phones instead of running or hiding
my school is literally being threatened with shooting rn (mississippian here) and it was ALL OVER the school snapchat story. i went to school today and no one was allowed to stand outside in the courtyard where people normally stand. or outside in general. there were admin standing at every location and we all either had to be in our first class of the day or the cafeteria for breakfast. i can attest to not having a phone during this because i dont have service and they recently changed the wifi password so i have no form of communication until i get home unless i have a hotspot. thats fucking terrifying as is. but WILLINGLY taking a kids phone who is in this situation because "theyre gonna get distracted in class" is actually so dumb it may be bringing my iq closer to room temperature. and also! as someone who is mentally ill enough to have literally been sent to a facility in april (3rd times the charm (ugh)) and put under police investigation because "i threatened the school" (was in a bad mental place that ended with me making poor "jokes" that were just manifestations of frustration) this is absolutely stupid as fuck lol. wearing black does not have shit to do with it. black is a comfortable color because it goes with every other color imaginable, its warm in the winter, it hides the parts of my body i dislike (hashtag transgender or whatever), its comfortable, its common, its easy to hide stains and holes and whatever because im broke asf and wear like 5 shirts maximum. i cannot BEGIN to comprehend where these people get these ideas that doing all of this backwards junk is going to help anything. its mind-boggling. i had to get a hold of my therapist on friday and i was having a whole existential crisis about becoming a part of society and everything thats wrong with the world right now and she said "its not about you though. yeah it sucks but theres nothing you can do about it, at the very least not right now, and its not affecting you, so you need to focus on yourself right now," but that doesnt bring into consideration that its shit like THIS that absolutely DOES leave an effect on me. school admins will wonder why teen suicide rates are so high, why the mental health crisis numbers have gone up, why kids are more prone to violence, why theyre not well behaved. its because you dont treat your students and even the teachers at times like they have ANY SENSE OF INTELLIGENCE. theres no respect on their end. theres not an OUNCE of self reflection and all they can pin the blame on is the victim, which is INSANELY ironic with how the see something say something shit arises. ugh. i could go on about this for fucking EVER but this is already wayyy too long so. yhegjihrijkgsga i hope they get a grip
my school’s bans: - leggings and ripped jeans - earrings, nail polish, and any jewelry on guys - non-visible socks - unnatural hair color - anything with a logo - shorts (on anyone) - skirts above the knee - sandals/crocs/any shoe that’s not completely close-toe - facial piercings - makeup that’s too noticeable
I have a uniform at my school, I don’t even have a choice 😭, it’s a navy shirt, kakki or plaid skirt, and black or white shoes (no tennis shoes, why?!) I hate my school so fking much-
We have that too like even I u wanna check the time on ur phone or call ur parents if a dean or the principal sees u he's gonna take ur phone away for like a week minimum, n ur parents cant even do anything about it even if they're on ur side
@@M4t_P4tGTthat was how my charter middle school was. I remember getting in trouble for having it out by the principal because I had it out in the morning before classes even started????
my school banned all makeup, all jewelry (unless it’s a cross or has mother marry on it), hair ties, chapstick, running, sitting if we’re out side, we’re only allowed to have our hair down and natural color, talking in art class, and a lot more random shit i literally hate my school so much omg 😭
I still wear sunglasses anyways bc I don't think at my school they have banned them but I feel bad for other autistic people/people with sensory issues who's schools have
as someone who does actually use their phone as medical device, it has been so hard to go up to my classmates and teachers and say that i can use my phone and have to prove to every single one of them that i am in fact disabled and need to use it. my school doesn't do the little pouches, but you will get detention (and sometimes your grades tanked) if you are seen with it anywhere in the school. one time i was at lunch and i almost got my phone taken away because i needed to use it. ever since then, i've went into the bathroom to use it and would just have to hope that no one else is in there. anyway, my point is that i have personally experienced a lot of problems whenever i need to use my phone for medical reasons because of these rules that ban everything.
@plexaroni they seriously need to have exceptions for this. I'm now in a place too where I need my phone for medical purposes and to communicate when I do have a medical issue. I actually had an instance today: I had a bad asthma attack triggered by my classmate applying perfume..on top of bad asthma I also happen to have vocal cord disfunction that gets triggered with scents and causes me to lose my voice. I had already taken my inhaler but started getting really dizzy due to a lack of oxygen. Being unable to speak, I grabbed my phone to type out what I needed to convey to my teacher, which allowed me to get to the health room and get more help. I was lucky today that I happened to be with the one teacher who doesn't listen to the ban. If an administrator knew, however, that teacher could lose their job
i have selective mutism and i use my phone as a communication device/aac device. sometimes teachers and other students give me trouble snd try to take it from me even though they know i have an exception to have it 😞
Black is popular around every high school I think. I live in Florida, and everyone still wears all black hoodies ,shirts, pants, etc. like that, even in the middle of summer where it's extra hot. I think its just that no one can really judge you if they have nothing to judge. Also, they're comfy af, cheap, doesn't look half bad, and doesn't take too much time to actually make something that matches. Also, DEPRESSION SYMPTOM!? WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT! IMAGINE GOING TO SCHOOL WEARING BLACK CLOTHES AND BEING PULLED ASIDE BY A TEACHER AND THEY START THEIR SENTENCE OFF WITH "hey jimmy, what going on at home? I see you've come to school with black clothing. Do you want to talk about it?" HUH?
im also in fl and wear dark clothing kinda constantly, its js easy to put together w anything 😭yeah it gets hot as FUCK outside but no need to BANNNN THE CLOTHES??
I am so glad he talked about it! I'm a senior in highschool and it feels like jail. We aren't even able to go to the bathroom during class. We have 5 minutes to get to class from different buildings and aren't allowed to go to the bathroom the first 15 minutes or last and in between we have to take a tardy and we get 5 tardys a semester. It really is ridiculous. Schools administrators talk about the metal health problems but what are they doing about it? Making us feel less like humans and more like prisoners. Maybe make people not dread going to school and there would be less issues in the first place.
my friend lives in england and heres just some of the things she cant do at her school - no false lashes - no makep - no jewelry (except 2 studs in ur ears) - no body or face piercings - no jackets (you can wear a small one in winter outside but if it has a logo it'll be taken away and you can get it on friday) - no unnatural hair colors (she JUST got her hair dyed and it was super expensive and now she has to dye it back :( ) - no tights or leggings - cant wear pants if youre a girl - no logos on anything - no sunglasses - no handbags/cross body hands/clutches (basically any type of bag that isn't a backpack) - if your skirt isn't past your knees you get detention (this especially sucks my friend lives in a area where a lot of people are in borderline poverty so some people cant afford to buy new school uniforms, so they have to wear old ones that don't fit so they get detention for something they literally cannot control) - no phones at all - no candy/soda/anything with sugar (generally anything you brought from home isn't allowed to have any sugar in it but they sell things with sugar in their cafeteria?) - no sneakers, boots, winter shoes, etc. basically any shoe that isn't these really uncomfortable mary jane type shoes. and im pretty sure there's a lot more but if you break any of these you get detention or sent to isolation...shes been sent to isolation/detention several times when a teacher THINKS shes breaking a rule but she literally didn't.
The school is use to go to banned wearing any jumper or jacket we were freezing in winter and sometimes in late autumn. And then they would kick us out in winter if you are in the hallway even if its just you or another person but literally theres was no place to go to. We were allowed makeup but only natural but I’m pretty sure they allow false eyelashes. And if it gets hot in spring sometimes we couldn’t even take the blazer off. People were shaking due to the cold. It’s even dangerous when it goes below the negatives which is more likely to happen in winter but due to climate change it will probably be less likely in the future but still its dangerous. And even we were forced to be outside when it’s raining. There was far too much homework for anyone and due to this i would get burned out because i tend to work far too hard. The soap dispensers were not even cleaned sometimes.
I’m so sorry to everyone who is in school right now. High school was terrible for me and NONE of these rules were a thing… I can’t even imagine what you guys have to go through
as an autistic person, i need headphones on to function in loud, public settings, be it school, a concert, or a grocery store. not even playing music or connected to my phone. my school banned having headphones in the hallway and confiscated mine. i don't get them back until THE. END. OF. THE. YEAR. and i need them for other loud settings that aren't school related and don't have them. safe to say my mom is pissed.
PLEASE get a 504 plan they should not be able to take them away from you!!! im also autistic and i have them on my 504 it is the biggest help ever i really hope you can have yours as an accommodation :( goodluck!!
@@KHRIS0L0GYthen it's even more illegal than if they were violating a 504. It would be nice if your parents could get involved legally but being that you're in a tiny conservative town idk if that's even possible
@@KHRIS0L0GYif you have an IEP and/or 504 and it states that you are allowed your headphones, then it is illegal both for them to take them and deny you their use. I suggest reminding them about them breaking the law by taking them.
outright banning phones in a country where you kid could get shot at literally any moment is probably one of the worst things, communication is absolutely NECESSARY especially for kids with health issues if kids arent using their phones to go on shapchat every five minutes they dont need them taken away
@@emmapariera5210maybe The teachers should have been stricter😱 omg what a Solution! As a person with a disability a chronic one with a lot of meds and stuff I NEED my phone and it gets taken away when I need my meds,Everytime I take them it saved my life because of the Bloodthinners and Organ Medicine,Luckily my Doctor is a Very Old woman and isn’t scared to fight,I had to literally go to court to have my fcking Phone with me for Medical Reasons and it sometimes still gets taken away
yeah nah. phones need to be outright banned because kids have demonstrated time and time again that, on the whole, they cannot be trusted with them at school. also 90% of the people saying phones shouldn’t be banned in schools are either helicopter parents or kids
@@corsacs3879 uhm Some people Have disabilities or Anxiety or something and need to have it with them so they can check their Body’s or something or They cal call or text someone to calm them down.
Bro, my school tried to ban us from going into the bathroom, but that didn't work, so they gave us 4 bathroom passes to last us the entire year. It's crazy out here
@@maisie3252 we have infinite bathroom passes, they say that if you have to go just write signature time in and out. But some teachers may only let you go to the bathroom once in the class period
my school used to have something similar but it was like 15 per marking period then they had a sign out sheet and a clipboard that served as a pass which was a good system but some kids took advantage of it and used it too much so then they made it digital but idrk how that makes it better because it's literally the same system but the sign out sheet is a google form its honestly just inconvienent
@phantom262 Yeah, that's what it was originally, but people kept stealing other people's bathroom passes, doing illegal substances, leaving the school, and vaping. Like I get that most of the kids are doing bad things, but I'm 100% positive. There's another way to fix it then taking away our bathrooms.
My school has gotten SO much stricter over the years. We have a very strict no phone policy, but someone had it out and they were “arrested” by the school officer. But, the weirdest one is that when we have to go to the bathroom, we have 3 minutes to go, and if we go past the limit, we get detention. Keep in mind, this is a public school.
Things my school has banned and actually enforces: -phones -platform boots/combat boots -anything that covers your ears -baseball hats -backpacks being outside of lockers -using the school issued chromebooks in the library??? -using your locker during passing periods -using the restroom for longer than 5 minutes - wayyyy more Things my school has banned and DOESN'T enforce: -physical bullying -verbal bullying -saying slurs -discrimination -microagressions
THANK YOU, i was PISSED when i found out about this this morning. they say we’re okay with it, but we get suspended, expelled, and detention if we speak out about it
@@cynikov yeah they don’t care 😭 they said that if we were caught using our phones they’d take them for the day, and then said that if we keep getting caught, they’re ‘taking them’ taking them. no one elaborated on what that meant. also banning clothes is so insane to me. i can understand if their “innapropriate” but the color black? SHIRTS? and they’re call of “black causes depressive moods” no, depression causes depression?? (and that’s still not even right) also banning the color black sounds vaguely racist imo 😭 idk they care more about money, and being the good guys, and ‘shaping us’ instead of trying to put restrictions on killing machines, taking actions against bullies, or creating safe environments where we don’t NEED a phone ban, a place where kids genuinely want to be engaged
@@ray_washere that sounds really rough, i just graduated from hs in june and it seems schools are already so much different just in the time of over the summer…it’s like they’re trying to make y’all soulless. i hope u are out soon, college so far for me personally has been a lot better
@@cynikov thank you so much 🙏 yeah it’s actually insane, considering how many shootings and threats have been occurring and they still won’t allow us to have our phones
@@ray_washere ugh right?? and that's a whole other problem, schools are enabling tragedies to happen by enacting the wrong things and not enacting the right things. had a kid who threatened to shoot up my school, hit list and all, screenshot proof and everything, and nothing was done until he told his friend he had an…inappropriate dream abt his 10 yr old sister…dont get why they don't take action on shit like that instead of phone lockers like what 💀
My school has this rule where they take away your phone for TWO WHOLE WEEKS. So when you get home, you have no access to anything, and even when there's one week left of school and your phone gets taken, you need to wait after the half term break to get it back.
Coming from a Portland middle school there are lots of kids that can’t be bothered to make outfits and just wear black leggings and a black graphic tees, plus there’s a bunch of emos.
@@benoftheweeklook up Cholo (subculture) on wikipedia. Explains it better then the other people in here tbh. My family is full of cholos and most of them are not involved in "gang activity" a lot of them dress like that for cultural reasons.
I disagree on the phone ban not because I want to use my phone in school but because if you don't have your phone on you at school it's gonna be hard to notify your parents if you're in something like an active shooter situation. As much as I don't think school is a place to use your phone, they are there for a reason and we shouldn't ban them completely
Exactly, and I think that being able to keep your phone on your is a better way of teaching students self control than babying them and forcing them to put it in a catty or something. If a student is genuinely having trouble staying off of their phone it should be their responsibility for themselves to learn from their own mistakes, because if you're not paying attention and you're on your phone the entire time you're not only going to make things worse for yourself because you won't understand what's going on and it's disrespectful just in general to sit on your phone while someone is talking to you, but being able to keep it near you and having the self control of having it near you and still paying attention and to maybe only check it occasionally or when needed is a lot more useful of a skill to develop for later in life. In a job your boss isn't gonna take your phone away, they'll fire you for not doing your job. It's just not a realistic standard to give students that won't help them out in the real world Sorry that was really long
If there were an active shooter at my school 1 it would be very surprising theres less than 150 people there 2 i am in the type of rural area where highschoolers have their dads rifle in their back window 3 everyone will beat the heck out of you with a doorstop made from horse shoes And 4 i will not be there to see what happens i will be gone, like deckin it out the window We once had a lockdown and one of the teachers didn’t get on the roster so she didn’t get any info and there were like 12 dads circling the school like sharks likely with guns because they thought something was happening but thats just cause 10 kids(including me) were in the room with the teacher who didn’t know what was happening so she was never told there was no issues and heard there was a guy in the school with a knife. It was just a normal guy outside two blocks(less than 100ft) away on drugs angry at someone also outside the school. It was funny because one of the girls was somehow still having an absolute breakdown in the corner and i was asleep under the teachers desk(i was small)
this is especially bad because some kids, like me, NEED headphones. I have extreme audio sensitivity so i constantly need earbuds to muffle things but even with an IEP i still get yelled at and such. banning a tool to help someone from not having a panic attack three times a day is insane. it just makes me more afraid of school than I already am. this year im a sophomore and thankfully they havent made us lock up our phones (yet) but theyve still banned everyone from using them on school grounds.
@@bouvet_ yep, ive got an iep which is essentially a little sheet saying a can have things to help with my panic disorder (including headphones which is stated in the order) although the teachers dont bother to follow it too closely
@@chaoscoyotee I once had to report a teacher for not following my 504. He lied about it too. He painted me as this lazy teen who didn't do anything in class. I hate those kinds of teachers so much...
As someone with mental health issues, i was literally known for wearing the most colorful clothes (exaggeration, but i wore a lot of colors and stupid shirts). It literally has nothing to do with black clothes!!
my school banned: not having your hair tied / having your hair open, makeup, phones, any electronics, nail polish, accessories (except for small earrings, but hoops arent allowed), shoes that arent PURE black like they cant have any white/grey on it, socks that arent white and over your ankles, dyed hair, and hoodies that arent black/navy.
my school board threatened to take away the girl's bathroom stall doors. though legally they could never, just the mere thought disgusts me. and the reasoning for it was that there was too much vandalism. another crazy thing is they threatened to take away our bathroom privilege's ENTIRELY. we'd have to take bathroom breaks as an entire class as high schoolers. so during the 8 hours of school, you'd only be allowed the bathroom once or twice a day, which as a girl with a period that simply doesn't work. school rules are going to far atp.
vandalism???? what the fuck, is that their concern? you just gotta piss or SHIT or switch your PADS (everyone can hear all these too) with no doors and anyone can see and any person can just walk in?? people can take photos, boys can (AND WILL) walk in to see😭😭 no fuck this being illegal, did they really not think this through and thought the parents would be okay with it?? NO ONE is shitting with no door
Oh god that's disgusting. That sounds something that fucking gross ass pedophiles would do. No no no, what the hell is happening to schools?!?! They're not really safe places ANYMORE
there was a school shooting a couple days ago in a city abt half an hour from me (im in georgia) the fact that theyre trying to ban phones while THIS is an ongoing issue is absolutely insane. but ofc no matter how many times this happens, nobody in power is gonna take it seriously smh
I graduated last year and thank god. My school was slowly and slowly becoming more and more dystopian, especially during my senior year things went off the walls. I can only imagine it’s gotten worse this year. Some of my favorites throughout my years included- - This wasn’t the school specifically it’s was more a county thing so I don’t blame my school fully for this BUT the nurses weren’t allowed to give out any medication like basic Tylenol unless parents sent out things to allow it. - We had these stupid things called ‘Halo’ or something that could detect if kids were vaping in the bathroom. Now, this isn’t a problem on its surface but what was a problem is the fact I was actually in the bathroom when some other kid was vaping. Me and another girl were forced to stay outside for 15 minutes or so while waiting for the principal to come. There was another girl in the bathroom and it was CLEAR that she was the one who was vaping because she refused to come out even when the principal was there. Still me and the other girl had to go to the office and get searched for vapes (I don’t even own one). Our classes were 50 minutes each and I missed like 35 minutes, over half of my classes because I had the bad timing of being in the same bathroom of a girl vaping. I wasn’t even allowed to tell my teacher what was happening despite the fact my classroom was right by the bathroom. She was worried about what happened to me y’all cuz I was a good kid who didn’t skip. - Speaking of the bathroom specifically the sinks were somewhat broken in that one the year I could go to different classes after the Covid year (context: I started going to the school during the covid year and I was locked in one room the entire day, wasn’t till sophomore I went to different rooms for different classes.). These sinks were never fixed and only got worse and worse until only 1 barely worked when I left senior year. Hopefully they fixed them. HOPEFULLY. Honestly a lot of things in there were broken. We had a fire last year due to faulty electrical. Not even one, TWO. Heating didn’t work in half the rooms either. - we had the e-hall pass things a lot of other people have mentioned here. Luckily most of my teachers allowed us to accept and end the passes ourselves but the ones who didn’t it was really annoying to wait. - I forget the name exactly but our teachers had this program where they could watch our screens as well as lock away certain tabs or places. Sometimes I would finish my work early, have nothing else to do for the specific class yet not be able to work on other class work because I couldn’t access it. The teachers could also message kids too, no one ever used it expect my English 11 teacher who’d make big brother references (and no we didn’t read it, 1984 was for the 12th graders). Yeah. Also half the time the things would still be applied when you left your class. - Now this is the kicker here that makes people go “what the hell?” when I tell them about it. Last year my school installed electric locks all over the school. Basically, once class started all the building doors in the school locked and you had to get a teacher or staff member to let you in if you missed the 5 minute time frame. It took me like 3-4 minutes to get from one end of the school to another for context. You could leave the building if you wanted to but you couldn’t enter. If you needed to do something between classes you better hope it was in the building your class is in or you could do it in less than 5 minutes. Supposedly this was to “stop school shootings” but all it did was make things inconvenient for students and more late than they would be if the locks didn’t exist. Apparently there was supposed to be staff in the building by the door to let students in if they were late or missed it but in all the times I was late they were never there and I had to wait or get someone. The door also fucked yo and wasn’t unlocked when I and my class were coming back from lunch. This was during the winter months too and it was a really cold day and it was awful. I just think about how all that money they spent on shit that didn’t matter and made things harder for students could’ve been spent on fixing up the school. As for phones, the best way to stop kids from using them is to bribe them honestly lol. My Spanish teachers did last year. Said if we didn’t use our phones for a week we’d get our favorite drinks and snacks. We got them lol.
I am in college now, but my younger sibling is in highschool still. In Houston, they aren't even allowed to go to the bathroom. They make girls bring notes to the office from their parents to prove that they are on their period so they are allowed to use the restroom. They have armed police in the school, and will actually just arrest people for stepping too far out of line. The school system has been taken over by the state, and thousands of teachers are being fired and replaced with people who push the conservatives agendas. It is actually CRAZY out here. THEY PERMANENTLY CLOSED THE LIBRARY...
My schools dress code only tells us not to show our underwear not to wear hoods and no sunglasses I genuinely feel terrible for everyone who has strict dress codes
bro one time a teacher tried to dress code after she looked up my skirt? like it’s not like she saw bare ass because i had shorts on and also why the *fuck* was she looking up a high schooler’s skirt
I go to a uniformed public school (not that wierd in my home country) I kid you not the only acceptable colour pants is NAVY BLUE, and they don’t even allow jeans, I genuinely don’t know why it’s not just black.
My school had not only a phone ban, but also a total ban on piercings that weren't on your ears. Kids who already had piercings were expected to remove them. Our school also refused to pay for vape detectors, instead opting to prop the bathroom doors open. It sucked, they would do everything except fix the problems at hand.
the phone ban is useless. parents sometimes want their children to be able to have their phones to keep them updated. lots of parents worry, especially in america with the amount of god damn gun violence. the first month of school, there were bomb threats, THREE DAYS IN A ROW. having a phone with a child can make them feel safer. not even just shootings, students can have mental issues during class and need to be picked up during class. on the first month of school, i was so close to a panic attack in first period because of some work i had to do(it seems dramatic but i had to interview someone and write about it which can be incredibly scary and stressful) .even if there weren’t shootings, bombings, etc, the phone ban would still be useless. let’s be real, who would actually be okay with it. students could act like they don’t have a phone, keeping it in a bag or pocket. teachers can’t go through your personal items unless they have proof it’s breaking a law.
Teachers always say "if theres an emergency, we'll call your parents." Im sure they would, but so many casualties could be prevented if students were allowed to have their phones in passing periods. I get that they don't want them during class because they can be distracting and they wouldn't be learning anything, but after class and before class starts should be okay. My heart and prayers go out to all the victims and victims familes and people involved of the recent school shooting in georgia, and anyone else who is a victem or survivor of a school shooting. These bans are getting out of hand. I'm lucky enough to go a school with a dress code that isn't that strict and where they let us have phones after school for clubs, but banning makeup, clothes colors, FUCKING HAIRSTYLES AND COLORS, and all around self expression saying it's " better for their mental health" and all that bullshit isn't helping at ALL. Sure maybe some kids are happier because they don't have phones and they don't feel as left out, but come on. Maybe instead of wasting money on stupid bags for phones and a bunch of other shit, they can use their money for paying teachers more, helping kids who are in an ACTUAL CRISIS, and improving education.
Sorta reminds me of when we had an assembly and a sub in the class we were in and the sub didn’t have the door key and it was at the end of the day. She went to go get it and istg she moved like molasses and I missed my bus
as someone who is IN SCHOOL AT THIS MOMENT, we in fact have almost nothing. my district now has extremely strict rules (they didn’t have last year) and so we have to put our phones either in our backpack or in those phone cubbies (which no one does) most teachers don’t care but it’s annoying as hell to hear “put your phone away” at least 10 times a day. AND. i forgot about this, last year we couldn’t wear our crocs that aren’t in sports mode, but now we can wear them however we want, BUT we can’t wear anything that shows even the slightest of our back, and as someone who only owns like tank tops, jackets are my savior. another thing is that in class i understand not eating, my school has an ant problem cus someone shoved food in the janitors closet, but we’re growing, WE NEED FOOD WHEN WERE HUNGRY. it’s dumb that we can’t eat when we’re hungry. we can’t wear crop tops, which is dumb cus why would a stomach disctract people. same thing with shoulders and backs, like bro😭

Here are my new school rules (I’m a junior in high school and these weren’t in place last year) 1. No phones (only can have them during passing periods, when your teacher says you can, lunch/study hall (for freshmen/sophomores), and advisory. Which isn’t too bad imo) 2. You have to get a written pass to go to the bathroom (full name, time, date, teacher signature) 3. You can’t have more than 4 tardies the entire semester or you get detention 4. If you are late to school more than 4 times a year you will suffer consequences 5. You cannot leave school early without a doctors note after 5 times (this is the entire school year) 6. You now cannot switch your lunch for any reason (ex you want to switch from 5a to 5b because you have no friends in 5a) 7. If we are in a REAL lockdown you are not allowed to get your phone from the the number slots (so you can’t text your parents/loved ones) or get your phone if there’s a fire! Or you will get written up We used to be able to wear “tight” tops/hoods/beanies/shorts now we can’t! (This rule they didn’t enforce yet)
@@yoongsfav 7 is in place because everyone will be scrambling to get their phones phones = noise screaming/crying/fighting = noise shooter in the building? everyones on their phones 5 is valid because people skip school or leave because they dont wanna be there
In elementary school (late 90's/early 00's for me) the only things that were getting banned were Pokemon/Yugioh (for encouraging gambling) and Beyblades (for safety concerns). In highschool, I think the only restrictions we had were no hats, open toed shoes and "revealing clothing" but it was very subjective. Phones were still allowed, just not in class, which was fair. But hearing all this is absolutely insane. I'm not surprised there's been such a rise in youth mental health issues (which are definitely NOT caused by wearing black clothes) when they're literally being sent to the equivalent of a prison. No self expression, limited communication, banning of books, and the threat of possible gun violence. I feel so bad for these kids 🙁
I myself just graduated highschool in June and I gotta say, I'm really glad that I did when I did because these restrictions are getting out of hand. I understand and definitely agree on the "Cellphones in classes are harmful" point, and yeah it would suck for the first little while cuz I'm used to it, but I'm thinking of the the future, like after the first couple months. Would people actually start talking to each other outside of their little friend groups again? Would talking to people you don't know become normal again? That would actually be awesome. I myself always wanna talk to people I don't know but I'm afraid that I'm gonna be looked at as weird because the world has gotten to this point where if you're not on your phone around people you don't know then you're the one whos weird and wrong, but in my head I don't quite get that. Whats weird to me is a group of people sitting in a room together on their phones completely silent, like what is that? The phones in classes is the only one I agree with, these other new restrictions like no black clothes and no bathroom mirrors are so fucking wack. Also the banned clothes list, half of those are like normal outfits that nobody outside of school would think twice about you wearing. Case and point though, schools are progressively stripping away kids freedom to just do stuff. Obviously children should be monitored because while they aren't stupid, they can make really stupid choices because they don't know any better yet, but having them have to write exactly how long they're gonna be in the bathroom for is straight up dystopian. Children are supposed to learn how life works by experiencing it, making mistakes, realizing a mistake was made, and then correcting it. That's the best way for anyone to learn actually, but when you funnel them into this specific way of living, they aren't gonna learn how anything other than what you put in front of them works, and additionally, if you want children to actually enjoy going to school, you not only have to make what you're teaching fun and engaging, but you have to let them have some amount of freedom and privacy. You can't just lock the children up and expect them to be happy and content with it. I hope things change for the better, thats all I can say, and by the way sorry for the yapenese lesson :)
So, the school I go to is technically public but has a uniform, and this year they made a really controversial change. So they introduced these “formal days” where you had to wear this 90 dollar school blazer, but they banned all hoodies, even ones that were bought from the school store with the school logo. I know a LOT of people who wouldn’t have the money for that kind of thing, and to take away a part of the uniform that’s vital in the winter months is so unfair. We also use the online hall pass and a system that controls basically everything on our chromebooks. The hall pass gives is 4 minutes MAXIMUM to do anything, and the system (which is called GoGuardian) blocks basically any and all websites, TH-cam videos (which a lot of teachers use for lessons) and it has a keystroke tracker, so it can see what you type. If you leave your camera app open it can see that too. Literally 1984
Oh, not GoGuardian. I’m telling you, you can’t do ANYTHING if GoGuardian is on. Even though my school uses it for a good reason (some people at my school are idiots), it’s still annoying when I use my computer at lunch and I can only view the same few websites.
my friend got flagged on our school’s keystroke tracker for writing an essay about shakespeare with uncensored mentions of people dying in his plays so. good to see the school’s resources going to good use ig

as a public school survivor, i feel so bad for people in (especially american) public schools right now. i am as well, but its a canadian art school- they care 10x more for the kids. also ben- to answer some of your questions 1. i didnt notice any large amounts of kids wearing excessive amounts of black? maybe its an american thing- all i notice is a lot of pyjama pants 💀 2. dude our teachers are usually so chill about phones, like they just ask to put it away, but this year you can just tell they feel so bad about enforcing it so much because they know it’s normal- they dont lock them away though? i think the office has like- a 3 strike thing, but usually the teachers don’t bring us to the office as i said, because they know we’re kids, (and lets be honest the teachers are on their phones and shit over lunch anyway) 3. my mom fully supports the phone ban and its so annoying because i love her, but i think she thinks kids are stupid, like we arent? 😭 again, my pov is from an 8th grader at an art school in alberta, which i’d consider quite accepting. so this could be completely different for other people
at my school they take away your phone if they even see it in your pocket then the parents or guardians HAVE to pick it up it sucks sm they told us to hide it from them or they’ll have to take it , ur right it’s not the same everywhere but they are getting more strict 😭
Kids are stupid, I’m 23 n there’s plenty of people my age n younger (who are grown adults) who can’t even read at a 2nd grade level so you should check into that again. I don’t think your generation is anyway better. N most people in America can’t afford to go to an art school like maybe a Canadian can. I get wym on your other points but you have a very rose colored view on the world coming from a place of privilege.
Our school once banned toilet paper because people would shove the entire roll down the pipes to try to clog the toilets, after that they started flushing shirts.
NO ONE IS USEING PHONES IN SCHOOL RN!! This is not happening 😭 students are to busy failing math classes/ doing homework to be on tik tok schools are over exaggerating the situation!!!

*The kids with IBS desperately typing into the timed bathroom tablet while they're doubled over in pain, panicking, not knowing how long their bathroom break will truly take* BRO
as a student from centryl europe, in every school that i ever went to, everything exept wearing black was always banned cause they wnted to teach us how to be "proffesional at work". we had makeup banned, sunglasses, hats, any ripped jeans, tanktops, croptops, really short shorts or skirts, etc. we couldnt even dye hair and this was a basic public elementary school im talking abt rn. in my middleschool we would wear crocks, makeup and dye our hair, and honestly, im happy for that.
Glad that I graduated. What I’m seeing in high schools nowadays on the media just pisses me off. It’s just the school board upping their petty levels by 50%
My school banned backpacks, and no one has a good reason why. They tell us to use our lockers but don’t let us go to our lockers except the morning. I wish we could speak up, the teachers don’t want to listen to us when we talk about the crazy rules.
My school bans:) -shorts -ripped jeans -tank tops (spaghetti straps) -crop tops -bulldog logo -hats -phones in class -sports team clothes -flip flops -ugg slippers (Tasman ones specifically) -piercing (except ear piercings) -unnatural hair color -mirrors in girls bathrooms
My highschool banned the use of cellphones in class. But we can keep it on us and use it at the end of class. I’m glad my school isn’t this strict. We don’t really have a dress code either
It's crazy to see people flipping out about these bans, when the schools in my country have: - STRICT uniforms (they control what you wear down to the COLOR OF YOUR HAIR TIE) - no phones allowed - no makeup - no jewelry _ no nail polish - no unapproved hairstyle (only braids for girls, and hair must remain above the ears for boys, no bangs for both genders) - no dyed hair, or piercings other than nostril and ear - so much more.. Plus they painted the building fucking grey with WHITE BARS ON THE WINDOWS. It's literally jail.
It's obviously country to country. Because in America it's based on freedom. Like what's the point in calling it that if I can't even use my phone when I have nothing to do. Also I feel bad for you. I'm sorry you have to go through that
Oh my god what country is it cause I know what country I'm not going to this summer Also that sounds absolutely depressing and I hope you are doing well
Because we didn't start school with these rules, they just keep setting more stupid rules. Why ban phones at school in a country that has the most school shootings? It makes no sense.
It depends more on the institution and laws. I'm my country, all public schools also have a strict uniform and length rule for example. But they CANNOT tell you that you can't have piercings or tattoos or colored hair: you can wear makeup that's not so colorful (cuz who tf goes to school with a Coachella makeup). They can not mess with your appearance cuz of the law of free expression. That's for publis schools, private schools do their own stuff and rules, but if you're in a private you or your parents had to agree to that before even putting you in
In the school that I go to, it is a literal CRIME to have your phone out while school is in session. (U pretty much cant have your phones out until u leave the building to go home). And if you're caught w a phone out its a suspension and ban from any school events for that semester.
@@Magama111Where I live it is illegal to take any object from a student, for example you can expel the student from the classroom but going there and taking the cell phone out of the student's hand by force is a crime.

Hey chat, new freshman here!! Tip for yonder pouches, say u dont have a phone. Their not allowed to check ur bags. As much as i agree with the whole "no phone" thing, there are reasons you NEED to have your phone. If theres an emergency you NEED to call your parents, how is ANYONE supposed to notify police if they see a gun?? At my school, we can go off campus, but how are we supposed to check the time...? This will make us all late. We're not even allowed to have watches, and what if we cant afford a watch? Its a good idea, but its not safe.
You literally give the school emergency phone numbers when you attend a school, they have all your contact info and stuff about illnesses or allergies in their database. And when you need to call the police a whole classroom doesn’t only the teacher or principal does if there aren’t already some at your school for security. You shouldn’t be able to leave once you step on campus really because of truancy and being underage wandering outside of school, unless ur talking about college freshman in that case they probably don’t give a ship
@@Whoareyoureally-e5cif you have a binder you can slip it in there if there’s room. Or if u have like a pencil case/pouch you can empty out you can hide it in there
My school is banning, guess what? BATHROOM BREAKS IN CLASSES. you only have passing period, and if you’re late cuz your class is far and you had to use the bathroom? You’re counted absent for the class as you skipping. And if you get THREE of those, you go to in school suspension. I have some really bad issues and it’s horrible, I am having to switch to online school because of this. It’s dumb.
My school has that too we can’t use the bathroom during class but then when we’re switching periods/classes there’s admin people watching the bathrooms and ur not even allowed to you the bathrooms then and once lunch comes around you can use the bathroom for 10 mins b4 they lock it up again for the whole day so pretty much my school banned using the bathroom as a whole😭🙏🙏
like imagine a kid is on their period and they cant go to the bathroom honestly i get the pain its just stupid i nearly pissed myself in class and the teacher didnt let me go until in her fucking head she got that it was a emergency☠️
I thought my school was the ONLY one banning literally everything. You can’t have your phone on you (in your backpack, in your pocket, anywhere really besides in your locker or at home which I get but like why can’t you just establish that we can’t take out our phones at all to begin with instead of just making us disown them for 6 hours straight), not to mention we can’t even have our BACKPACKS ANYMORE, we have to put them in our locker as soon as homeroom starts or else they get confiscated and we cant get them back until the end of the day. Keep in mind, this is being introduced to middle schoolers who have lockers, but they NEVER use them. It was an unknown thing for our lockers to be an important part of our school life, but now we have to get use to this completely new routine within the first week of school or else we get our stuff token and get punished for being lazy and “rebellious”. And our new principle gave us these cheap, 2$ crappy black binders with a small mesh clip-on pencil case to hold all of our belongings for school. The worst part is, we can’t even replace the binder with our own or customize it with stickers or draw on it or we have to pay 15$ FUCKING DOLLARS to replace the dollar-store binder. And I get that this rule is kind of already implemented in some other places and some people have gotten used to it, like they have time in passing period to just get their supplies for their next class, but we only have 4 minutes in passing period to get to our next class and do everything else.
my school basically banned electronics but its so stupid cuz my school is 99% technology based and its a "work at your own pace" school, so taking away stuff like that basically just eliminates the entire point of my school
i’m going to a school where phones are banned and it genuinely makes no sense to me. ESPECIALLY because i go to an alternative high school for kids who need accommodations/extra support. its bullshit
I'm in Australia and these are the rules at my school 1-you have to wear school uniform and black or navy blue pants not booty shorts or anything too high you can wear skirts and have to be sneakers no ugg boots or crocs 2-no phones at all "phones off and locked away all day" which is stupid if there is a fire your phones will burn if you get caught on your phone you pick it up first time you get caught 2nd time parent picks it up 3rd time you have a meeting with parents and principal you go through the school gate you hand the person your phone u get a number and end to the day u give them the number u get your phone 3-bathroom you have a bathroom pass and you go to the toilets someone is sitting outside and you have to write your name, your year and the time and after like its been 15 minutes they go and check if you are in there and just knock on stalls like hello privacy 4-if you are late you have to go to student services and sign in and they always give you a lecture of saying u need to be to school on time blah blah blah and they give u a late pass and you go to class and the teachers never open the door and say why did u interrupt my class and stuff 5-if you lets say talk while the teacher is talking they will class triage its like in school police and they will take you to a different class and if you were a bystander to lets say someone stealing stuff from someone you get told off and sent home for what seeing it I'm not no snitch 6- the school food is so expensive what do u mean I have to spend nearly 5 bucks for a toastie like what and a drink is 6.50 like what they make it so expensive for a small drink 7-the teachers will swear at you back and like they do throw things at you like pencils if you are sleeping or not paying attention and will yell at you back for not listening and will constantly ask you to do work even if you don understand it they wont help you even if you ask they just go like oh you understand you just being dumb and that a public school in Australia there more rules and they are all stupid but my school starts at 8:26-2:40
my school has banned boys wearing earrings, piercings other than ear piercings, dyeing your hair colors that arent natural (for example, dyeing your hair blue or purple is against dress code but colors like blonde and black would be fine), youre not allowed phones unless you ask a teacher, no hats UNLESS its a hat bought from the school (it should have the school colors, school logo, school name, district name, something like that), no sandals, no headphones (even at lunch or inbetween classes), and more 😭😭 we also have bible verses in the hallways and our teachers will talk about god and religion mid class. its a texas public school, preaching religion is illegal 🔥🔥🔥 theyre also taking away the bathrooms. like theres a solid 3 bathrooms that are closed and two of those are the only ones you can use during several classes without switching buildings. not to mention theyre banning those stanley cups. OH almost forgot have to edit this in but they banned the use of inhalers when youre working out. i had to drop out of athletics due to struggling with breathing and needing an inhaler because they wouldnt allow me to take the inhaler with me. boys also arent allowed to have hair below the collar of their shirt (teachers can shave the students head if they wish) small town stuff i guess edit: more info added lol

Omg like the bathroom especially when go to a another like class if u ask for a bathroom break teachers always say "well u had enough time in between periods "like bro if everyone has to got to the bathroom only in between periods then not everyone can go
@@kkji188 THIS!! for me my school banned bathrooms for Mabye 1 month. All because some kid shit in the urial and they got mad. I bled tru my pants and HAD to wait for 45 mins to use the bathroom during passing then I was late( passing is like 4 mins ) and no one believed me. The education system is fr broken.
As someone who literally just left their school, my school has banned tons of things. They took down the mirrors in the bathrooms, phones aren't even allowed to be SEEN in pockets or it'll be taken away. They also locked the bathrooms during our lessons so we couldn't skip class. The only way we can go is if we get a key. And the only bathroom we can use has 2 stalls 😨
The cause for kids not learning to read is because the schools don’t teach with phonics anymore. They teach sight words so they can only read a certain list of words, and they can’t sound out words they don’t know.
Uhm as a girl, I wear black to prevent my period from showing (just in case). It also hides stains for kids who can’t afford to get new clothes, covers parts of your body you may not want to draw attention to, and absorbs the suns rays which keeps people warm in winter. How are you gonna ban the most useful color?
Right
i wear all black bc i just like how it looks 💀 i feel like a goofball if im wearing colors
True. How can I be the menace that wears a black sweatshirt and sweatpants in summer and become a living radiator? Also, literally every pair of pants I have are black, like mfer I need that color so my dingaling won’t be dangling 😭
it also is very good for not drawing attention to yourself a lot of people have social anxiety or don't like other people and need something to hide behind like black clothes.
Frrr that’s what I’m worried about red looks so bad on my skinnn
Guys are schools actually blaming student’s depression on wearing black?! That’s literally so stupid, school is the reason! If you don’t want us to be depressed don’t treat us like shit!
So true bro my favorite shirt that I'm wearing rn is black. I hope my school doesn't ban it😭
So glad I go to a school for people who need help, these other schools are hell-
@@SomefellowhumanbeingI fucking hate my school, they treat like shit

The way schools find the funding for resources to restrict students but won’t put any effort or money into updating the education system or better and a more reasonable curriculum is beyond me. You want me to wake up early every day and be content with being herded like sheep into little rooms and the eat food that is comparable to food that prisoners get all while abiding by every rule and restriction you tell me? For what reason? School has not become a benefit for kids anymore they don’t teach children so that they learn they teach students to pass the standardized state tests so that they can get more funding. Will they only reform schools when students finally decide that they need to take drastic measures? For Americas sake I hope not 😬
as a person with mental heath issues I can confirm wearing black did not cause it
right?? it just so happens all my comfortable clothing is all black
I also have problems but I wear black because it’s the only color that looks good on me, if I even try to wear white I look like a bedsheet. Most colors don’t go well with white hair :(
Most if not all the students in my school wear black, if my school were to ban black they'd basically ban all clothing.

last week there was a shooting at my best friend’s school. my friend had their phone and was able to text me and their parents “ hey my school just went in lockdown, i heard gunshots. if anything happens just know that i love you” then, when they evacuated the students, my friend was able to call us and tell us that they were okay. the families of students who didn’t have their phones had no idea if their kid was okay or not until hours later. although phones are a distraction, with the state that america is in, we can’t take phones away from students because of situations like these.
I hope your friend recovers no one should ever go through something as traumatic as a school shooting and I agree that phones should not be baned
you’re right but it’s so fucking ridiculous that it’s reached a point where we can’t ban phones in school because there are regularly shootings in which children need their phones send their possible last words to their parents. and that out of phones and guns, it’s the phones that are getting banned.
We had a lockdown at my school and I heard gunshots and screaming, I couldn't even text my mom or my friends in other schools bc we can't have our phones out, I was crying and my mind was racing and I just wanted my mom to know that I love her...

i talked to my biology teacher a few days ago about phone bans. he said he wishes they were done at our school, and i told him i disagree because of school shootings. he straight up laughed and said "okay, but realistically, how likely is that to happen?" the next day a fourteen-year-old student opened fire in his high school in georgia. i'm firmly anti-phone ban.
edit: why are people fighting in the replies
dang, what did he say the next day :[
What was his reaction?
one of the comments above you is someone from georgia that was in the shooting
What was his reaction?
so in denial that it would ever happen to them.
my high school had pretty normal dress code for a public school. no tank tops, shorts had to be a certain length, no holes in your jeans above the knees, no hats etc. i genuinely can't think of a good reason to ban the color black, that takes away at least half my clothing options. and what's the line? if i wear a black shirt with a pattern/words on it is that allowed? or if just my shirt is black is that too much? it seems so arbitrary and just a way to inconvenience everybody. and i can PROMISE wearing black wasn't (and still isn't) affecting my mental health, it was waking up at 6am each day.
i also understand phone bans TO A DEGREE- you shouldn't be on your phone in class unless it's some kind of emergency/necessity. some people might actually need their phone to monitor a health condition or as an accessibility tool. or, if there's an emergency, they can call for help. it's easier just to write up people who are being irresponsible, or just let them face the consequences of not paying attention.
I totally agree with you. But your dress code is really strict, our dress code is basically no bikinis and no masks
A problem with banning phones in schools is like if there is a school shooting, who's calling 911 if the the teachers don't find out immediately ?? Who's calling their parents to say goodbye to them in that event, who's calling 911 if there is a fire and a teacher refuses to belive a student and all the fire alarms are got locked up so the kids can't prank pull them ?
And what if a kid has strict or helicopter parents and they have to keep their parents updated extremely often ? The phone ban doesn't make much sense except for like to make sure your kids aren't cheating or something
-a confused person who was homeschooled
The idea is that the school is supposed to contact the parents instead. As a student is unable to stay calm enough to explain the situation, while someone else can.
Is it a good explanation: no
is it an explanation: yes
My mom is very protective and wants me to text her when I get to school but I can't text her or I'll get detention

@@candicraveingcloude2822 that's literally so dumb, maybe if schools taught the kids what to do in a stressful situation they wouldn't freak out like tf
I’m so tired of students having no rights in their education areas. Banning mirrors in the bathroom, dress codes, no phone usage at all, etc. so many of the problems would be fixed with giving their students a voice. If I could have my phone at lunch and in between classes then maybe I wouldn’t be using it during class to text my mom. If we taught students to behave themselves instead of enabling their disgusting behaviour, I could wear an actual tank top in 90-100 degree weather with a pair of shorts. Students don’t respect teachers because they don’t want to be there. Schools are such miserable environments that I literally have panic attacks thinking about going back on Sunday. It’s a horrible atmosphere, and the last thing I want to do is take notes and listen to a lecture while signing a dress code slip.
TRUEEE

absolutely NOBODY at my school (with the exception of me, because im emo) wears all black CONSISTENTLY. i am 100% sure they’re citing “mental health issues” because of the fact that the rate of mental health issues in the alternative community specifically are so high. BUT, even though alt people are prone to have problems mentally, this is a stereotype. not everyone who dresses emo, or goth, or punk is depressed. just like how people who DON’T dress alternative can be depressed. it’s not a requirement to be emo if you have bad mental health. it is clothing. it is something you WEAR. let kids wear black clothes if they want to wear black clothes.

we cant:
Dye our hair any unnatural colours
Wear makeup / do our nails (no nail polish either)
No doors on the toilets (and its conjoined w the boys. a room that is half pink and half blue. This is really weird as hyjabi girls cannot fix their hyjab because its exposed and boys can see it)
We arent allowed to go during lesson time (even if ur on ur period you have to wait until lunch which is at 1:30 btw)
We only have 10 minute break and 30 minute lunch which isnt enough time (especially for me because i have braces and eat slow)
Drink water without asking
We have a uniform and includes a blazer and an optional grey jacket. 30 minute detention if you take off the blazor at any times (even in summer)
Boys cant have patterns or those two faded lines in their hair because its "distracting"
We can bring a phone but it has to be turned off and in our bag (even if there was an emergency we arent allowed to use it)
All there is for lunch is pasta sauce and cheese. and they dont even cook it correctly most the time
Cant wear leggings instead of trousers (headteacher told my friend that she was too "curvy" to wear leggings???)
We have to have our shirts tucked in 24/7 otherwise youll die according to the teachers
we have to bring in 2 pens, pencil, rubber, calculator, ruler and a pencil case. if u dont bring in ONE item (like 1 pen not 2) its an hour detention after school.
Im so sick of this school its not even funny
Bro imagine going to school and u cant wear normal clothes, have no firm of communication and cant even talk to anyone cause ur school banned everything,

its crazy how much schools are genuinely ruining kids’ mental health, by claiming what theyre doing is better for their mental health. teenagehood is a rough time, and some people do use their phones as a distraction, which can drop their grades if they arent careful. but for teachers, its fine if you see someone using their phone and take it away to make them focus, but to have everyone lock their phones in a magnetic locking pouch until the end of the day instead of using that money to pay teachers, or provide school supplies is genuinely crazy.
I live in Portugal, so not allowing phones was already normal in my school (my school is a private school and it's terrible). But if they take away the mirrors, I'm so f-cked. I NEED THEM FOR MY CONTACTS- (Not the contacts on your phone, I'm talking about what I use to LITERALLY SEE)
Yea Most private schools are bad you just gotta hope you're lucky and get the good ones
I've been in provate school for 4 years and just now my old school I returned to is decent The first decent one I went to

Someone from Georgia here! Today we had a school shooting, I couldn’t imagine having no phone during a school shooting. There were messages released to the public from some of the kids who texted their parents. But just situations where you NEED your phone.
Edit: I am ok, 4 people died 9 people were hospitalized. The shooter's name was Colt Gray, and he was a 14-year-old student
(Even though school shootings should never happen)
EXACTLY! I just got yonder pouches but I don’t use mine because I’m worried about what would happen if we had a situation like that 😔
from cali, one of my teachers mentioned that shooting directly after talking about our stricter phone policy and that was my first thought. the reason most parents give kids phones in the first place is for safety. them being as strict as they are now in places as populated and dangerous as LA is such a disaster
Absolutely! All my teachers were talking about that today and we had a drill! I hope you, your family, and your friends are all right!
I heard about what happened, I hope you have a full recovery cause that must have been scary-
as a student, i understand the “no phones in class” rule, but my school (florida) has this pocket thing on the back of the door were you put your phone, IF YOU USE IT IN CLASS meaning you can keep it in your bag until class end or the teacher says you can use it! but the thing is, even if you have you phone in the pocket you can easily grab it in case of an emergency! (i believe this is actually a great idea, and it works well too)
My school (texas) does this aswell, except lately it's been very strict about only having your phone in the pocket, but most of my teachers are pretty chill about it 👍🏻

As a californian, my sister attends a school that absolutely does not care about their students. There was recently a fire by my sister’s school and they were still required to be at school, which is insane considering how that can affect their health (stuff like breathing in the smoke, ashes all over the floor, etc.) The principal also said (which just proves that she doesn’t care about the students’ mental health), “Okay, (student’s name) is getting bullied, as long is the student getting bullied isn’t self harming, I don’t care and that student isn’t getting provided a therapist.” That is just insane to me.
I’m from California and the kids there are only getting worse. The teachers don’t have the resources to try to control every student and their behavior.
Real I was at school one day and we had our mile run and there was a house on fire with a huge cloud of black smoke a block down from our field
That's unfortunate, as a fellow Californian, I had a whole week off of school because of a fire nearby. You could even smell the smoke inside the house, I think it lasted for a couple days. I also had Homecoming this same week on Saturday, but it was most likely canceled.
School still doesn't care when I cut myself!!!
I go to Achieveable dream in Newport News and there was shooting across the street from us. Two teens died and heritage and Menchville had no school that day but for some reason we still had school and the principal acted like nothing happened

Black is a very common color to be worn at my school. Not always all black, a lot of times they add gray and white and dark blue, but mostly black
i just graduated high school in june, and the "e-hallpass" was SO annoying. being fully 18 and having to ask to use the bathroom, and then having to wait for the teacher stop class to accept my pass request was so annoying. then having to raise my hand when i got back to ask if they could "please end my pass". so weird and frustrating. also, for a period of time during covid around my sophomore year, we weren't allowed to use the bathroom for the first ten minutes of class or the last 10 minutes, meaning you would have to go during the 20 minutes in between where you're actually learning something. so happy to be in college and free
We have the ten min before and after class too. They say its because students would use it as extra pass time to skip parts of class somehow

YES. WE HAVE BOTH THESE TOO. i’m from indiana where we have a complete phone ban and my friends joke at me about being addicted but like… my parents text me info i need to know, checking the time, telling my parents info, being able to find friends easier TO SOCIALIZE., to check my notes app for passwords, to listen to music, (because they have music platforms blocked) to take a picture of the notes i need and so on and so forth. genuinely i believe our society is so reliant on them you can’t just “lock them away” and call it good. plus, i KNOW there are kids who need it more than i do too. i really just don’t understand. so far, from all my friends in school and across the area, everyone keeps them in their pencil pouch, (including myself) 🤷♀️ the THREAT of taking away phones helps. the ban does not. it’s so irritating, and frankly, he’s right 😭 school is SO boring sometimes.
edit: also listening to music is seriously the only thing that helps me focus. like, i cannot do any work in silence… so for me, this phone ban is affecting my grades NEGATIVELY. my anxiety goes thru the roof just in case something happens and i don’t have any access to it. it’s so anxiety inducing which leads to me not being able to focus!!!! you’re making my academic life worse and my mental health worrrssseeeeee
I just hate asking teachers in general to go do my business, I just find it weird. Sure, I get that you gotta state where you're going but holy hell, I don't wanna tell the class when I gotta use the restroom. But it's weird, awkward and not for kids who want to talk.
Just graduated from a public high school, here's some of the craziest shit:
-No doors on the bathrooms, many stall doors were broken so that wasn't fun
-You need a signed pass from a teacher to use the bathroom
-You only get 5 passes a month
-You needed a 504 plan or an IEP to get a quiet space for work, but the school often denied those to kids on free/reduced lunch programs
-The nurse played favorites, if she didn't like you she'd accuse you of skipping class
-Hats, phones, and swears on shirts were supposedly banned but nobody ever followed that tbh
-There was a fucking gas leak and they didn't let us leave so I called my dad and pretended he had an emergency
Oh also our school made NATIONAL NEWS because the athletic director faked a recording of the principal being racist. He is racist, but the recording was fake. Everyone hated him though so it's ok

11:43 yes our school is filled with people wearing black….everyone does it but most of it’s the Armos(Armenian guys who think they are cool).
Based on the school sh00ting that happened yesterday in Georgia where 2 kids died, the no phone rule is not going to go well. My school doesn’t have strict phone rules (they either stay in your backpack or in a pencil case) but my mom has said that if they ever do the magnetic bags to hide my phone in my bag so I can contact her if something happens. School isn’t a safe place anymore and everything they try to do to make it “safer” makes it worse
I think war crimes are bad and that everyone should be happy in life
@@ZombossLordOfDoom your comment is proof that you only read the first sentence of mine.
and ny and la are not safe cities at all and are some of the worst in the US. There is no reason for this to happen
When I went to school, I witnessed the transition to banning open campus'. And then I went through the ban of staying indoors during lunch. Some teachers let students in their classrooms under the guise of "doing work". One of my teachers allowed me and a select few to stay in her classroom because it was raining outside. Things are getting very restrictive, it's sad to see
@@ZombossLordOfDoom they didn’t say that?? they said that if phones were banned then kids wouldn’t be able to contact anyone
What the hell? I graduated 5 years ago and I was starting to notice students losing freedoms towards the end of my time in high school. I didn't think it would get worse. Even before it got this bad, I had a hard time adjusting to college because the freedom felt so foreign. This is a horrible way to prepare students for the future, unless you're trying to prepare them for prison...
This is so true. These kids aren't going to be prepared for the amount of freedom they get in college and the real world. Let them experience at least a little bit of it at school.
At my old high school they only allow 1-4 people out of the WHOLE SCHOOL to use the bathroom per class period
Yeah college was crazy at first bc of the fluid schedule I had but I got used to it
I graduated in 2022 and it was already restrictive and weird then
@@pjrodneywow, I've only had specific teachers at my highschool do that, but it'll usually be a pass or a sheet to sign

with the amount of school shootings happening, it scares me to think that my school is going to take away my only line of communication and ill die without being able to tell my family that I love them one last time. banning phones is wrong. there have always been incidents where kids called the police and saved lives because there was someone with a weapon or having a medical emergency. I completely understand saying no phones during class and having them put away during class, but with the state of the US today, I genuinely fear not having my phone during school because I might get shot in class and I just want to tell my family that I love them in case I die.
Skibity 😊
I relate to this, I always want to have my phone around me just in case I need to contact my parents, not because I want to use it for other purposes.
Banning phones is not wrong and I'm sure if there was a case like that, they would unlock them and even then I could be a good thing to not have a bunch of freaked out kids on their phones reading unconfirmed information.

In an emergency such as a shooting as a student fuck the phones bruh we're either hiding or fighting for our life, also it would take more time out of our lives just to get the damn phones instead of running or hiding
my school is literally being threatened with shooting rn (mississippian here) and it was ALL OVER the school snapchat story. i went to school today and no one was allowed to stand outside in the courtyard where people normally stand. or outside in general. there were admin standing at every location and we all either had to be in our first class of the day or the cafeteria for breakfast. i can attest to not having a phone during this because i dont have service and they recently changed the wifi password so i have no form of communication until i get home unless i have a hotspot. thats fucking terrifying as is. but WILLINGLY taking a kids phone who is in this situation because "theyre gonna get distracted in class" is actually so dumb it may be bringing my iq closer to room temperature. and also! as someone who is mentally ill enough to have literally been sent to a facility in april (3rd times the charm (ugh)) and put under police investigation because "i threatened the school" (was in a bad mental place that ended with me making poor "jokes" that were just manifestations of frustration) this is absolutely stupid as fuck lol. wearing black does not have shit to do with it. black is a comfortable color because it goes with every other color imaginable, its warm in the winter, it hides the parts of my body i dislike (hashtag transgender or whatever), its comfortable, its common, its easy to hide stains and holes and whatever because im broke asf and wear like 5 shirts maximum. i cannot BEGIN to comprehend where these people get these ideas that doing all of this backwards junk is going to help anything. its mind-boggling. i had to get a hold of my therapist on friday and i was having a whole existential crisis about becoming a part of society and everything thats wrong with the world right now and she said "its not about you though. yeah it sucks but theres nothing you can do about it, at the very least not right now, and its not affecting you, so you need to focus on yourself right now," but that doesnt bring into consideration that its shit like THIS that absolutely DOES leave an effect on me. school admins will wonder why teen suicide rates are so high, why the mental health crisis numbers have gone up, why kids are more prone to violence, why theyre not well behaved. its because you dont treat your students and even the teachers at times like they have ANY SENSE OF INTELLIGENCE. theres no respect on their end. theres not an OUNCE of self reflection and all they can pin the blame on is the victim, which is INSANELY ironic with how the see something say something shit arises. ugh. i could go on about this for fucking EVER but this is already wayyy too long so. yhegjihrijkgsga i hope they get a grip
my school’s bans:
- leggings and ripped jeans
- earrings, nail polish, and any jewelry on guys
- non-visible socks
- unnatural hair color
- anything with a logo
- shorts (on anyone)
- skirts above the knee
- sandals/crocs/any shoe that’s not completely close-toe

Them taking away sunglasses pisses me off so much because I have sensory issues and the bright ass lights hurt my eyes so bad like physically hurt
I still wear sunglasses anyways bc I don't think at my school they have banned them but I feel bad for other autistic people/people with sensory issues who's schools have
as someone who does actually use their phone as medical device, it has been so hard to go up to my classmates and teachers and say that i can use my phone and have to prove to every single one of them that i am in fact disabled and need to use it.
my school doesn't do the little pouches, but you will get detention (and sometimes your grades tanked) if you are seen with it anywhere in the school. one time i was at lunch and i almost got my phone taken away because i needed to use it. ever since then, i've went into the bathroom to use it and would just have to hope that no one else is in there.
anyway, my point is that i have personally experienced a lot of problems whenever i need to use my phone for medical reasons because of these rules that ban everything.
me too
@plexaroni they seriously need to have exceptions for this.
I'm now in a place too where I need my phone for medical purposes and to communicate when I do have a medical issue.
I actually had an instance today: I had a bad asthma attack triggered by my classmate applying perfume..on top of bad asthma I also happen to have vocal cord disfunction that gets triggered with scents and causes me to lose my voice. I had already taken my inhaler but started getting really dizzy due to a lack of oxygen. Being unable to speak, I grabbed my phone to type out what I needed to convey to my teacher, which allowed me to get to the health room and get more help.
I was lucky today that I happened to be with the one teacher who doesn't listen to the ban. If an administrator knew, however, that teacher could lose their job
That's horrid
i have selective mutism and i use my phone as a communication device/aac device. sometimes teachers and other students give me trouble snd try to take it from me even though they know i have an exception to have it 😞
Black is popular around every high school I think. I live in Florida, and everyone still wears all black hoodies ,shirts, pants, etc. like that, even in the middle of summer where it's extra hot. I think its just that no one can really judge you if they have nothing to judge. Also, they're comfy af, cheap, doesn't look half bad, and doesn't take too much time to actually make something that matches. Also, DEPRESSION SYMPTOM!? WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT! IMAGINE GOING TO SCHOOL WEARING BLACK CLOTHES AND BEING PULLED ASIDE BY A TEACHER AND THEY START THEIR SENTENCE OFF WITH "hey jimmy, what going on at home? I see you've come to school with black clothing. Do you want to talk about it?" HUH?

I am so glad he talked about it! I'm a senior in highschool and it feels like jail. We aren't even able to go to the bathroom during class. We have 5 minutes to get to class from different buildings and aren't allowed to go to the bathroom the first 15 minutes or last and in between we have to take a tardy and we get 5 tardys a semester. It really is ridiculous. Schools administrators talk about the metal health problems but what are they doing about it? Making us feel less like humans and more like prisoners. Maybe make people not dread going to school and there would be less issues in the first place.
my friend lives in england and heres just some of the things she cant do at her school
- no false lashes
- no makep
- no jewelry (except 2 studs in ur ears)
- no body or face piercings
- no jackets (you can wear a small one in winter outside but if it has a logo it'll be taken away and you can get it on friday)
- no unnatural hair colors (she JUST got her hair dyed and it was super expensive and now she has to dye it back :( )
- no tights or leggings
- cant wear pants if youre a girl
- no logos on anything
- no sunglasses
- no handbags/cross body hands/clutches (basically any type of bag that isn't a backpack)
- if your skirt isn't past your knees you get detention (this especially sucks my friend lives in a area where a lot of people are in borderline poverty so some people cant afford to buy new school uniforms, so they have to wear old ones that don't fit so they get detention for something they literally cannot control)
- no phones at all
- no candy/soda/anything with sugar (generally anything you brought from home isn't allowed to have any sugar in it but they sell things with sugar in their cafeteria?)
- no sneakers, boots, winter shoes, etc. basically any shoe that isn't these really uncomfortable mary jane type shoes.
and im pretty sure there's a lot more but if you break any of these you get detention or sent to isolation...shes been sent to isolation/detention several times when a
teacher THINKS shes breaking a rule but she literally didn't.
What the fuck.
Uk schools are the worst I wish I lived in literally any other country
Guantanamo bay type shit
Thats horrifying.
The school is use to go to banned wearing any jumper or jacket we were freezing in winter and sometimes in late autumn. And then they would kick us out in winter if you are in the hallway even if its just you or another person but literally theres was no place to go to. We were allowed makeup but only natural but I’m pretty sure they allow false eyelashes. And if it gets hot in spring sometimes we couldn’t even take the blazer off. People were shaking due to the cold. It’s even dangerous when it goes below the negatives which is more likely to happen in winter but due to climate change it will probably be less likely in the future but still its dangerous. And even we were forced to be outside when it’s raining. There was far too much homework for anyone and due to this i would get burned out because i tend to work far too hard. The soap dispensers were not even cleaned sometimes.
I’m so sorry to everyone who is in school right now. High school was terrible for me and NONE of these rules were a thing… I can’t even imagine what you guys have to go through
its hell out here
i hate high school so much we’re treated like prisoners in the country called the ‘land of the free’
as an autistic person, i need headphones on to function in loud, public settings, be it school, a concert, or a grocery store. not even playing music or connected to my phone. my school banned having headphones in the hallway and confiscated mine. i don't get them back until THE. END. OF. THE. YEAR. and i need them for other loud settings that aren't school related and don't have them. safe to say my mom is pissed.
If you're formally diagnosed, ask to get a 504 plan that has an exception
PLEASE get a 504 plan they should not be able to take them away from you!!! im also autistic and i have them on my 504 it is the biggest help ever i really hope you can have yours as an accommodation :( goodluck!!

@@KHRIS0L0GYif you have an IEP and/or 504 and it states that you are allowed your headphones, then it is illegal both for them to take them and deny you their use. I suggest reminding them about them breaking the law by taking them.
My school has always had it that phones are not allowed to be seen out at all during school hours.
my sister's middle school banned blue and red. if you wore ANY blue (except jeans)or ANY red, you were dress coded/sent home.
actually WHAT??? im baffled
In my school we’re only allowed to wear navy blue
Yep same. idk where you are but here in California its cuz of norteños vs sureños, its considered gang related
Why 2 literal common colors....
Ohhhh yeah, likely due to the two most notorious gangs in America [mainly], the Bloods, who wear red as their color, and the Crips who like blue
outright banning phones in a country where you kid could get shot at literally any moment is probably one of the worst things, communication is absolutely NECESSARY especially for kids with health issues
if kids arent using their phones to go on shapchat every five minutes they dont need them taken away
If kids weren’t on there phones 24/7 the teachers wouldn’t be told to take them. I’ve seen it first hand.
@@emmapariera5210maybe The teachers should have been stricter😱 omg what a Solution!

Bro, my school tried to ban us from going into the bathroom, but that didn't work, so they gave us 4 bathroom passes to last us the entire year. It's crazy out here
@@maisie3252 we have infinite bathroom passes, they say that if you have to go just write signature time in and out. But some teachers may only let you go to the bathroom once in the class period
this is actually INSANE.. they're banning USING THE BATHROOM NOW??!?
my school used to have something similar but it was like 15 per marking period then they had a sign out sheet and a clipboard that served as a pass which was a good system but some kids took advantage of it and used it too much so then they made it digital but idrk how that makes it better because it's literally the same system but the sign out sheet is a google form its honestly just inconvienent
My school started doing something similar, except it’s 4 a day, not a whole year. To be fair, I heard the boys bathrooms were getting wrecked.
@phantom262 Yeah, that's what it was originally, but people kept stealing other people's bathroom passes, doing illegal substances, leaving the school, and vaping. Like I get that most of the kids are doing bad things, but I'm 100% positive. There's another way to fix it then taking away our bathrooms.
My school has gotten SO much stricter over the years. We have a very strict no phone policy, but someone had it out and they were “arrested” by the school officer. But, the weirdest one is that when we have to go to the bathroom, we have 3 minutes to go, and if we go past the limit, we get detention. Keep in mind, this is a public school.
Things my school has banned and actually enforces:
-phones
-platform boots/combat boots
-anything that covers your ears
-baseball hats
-backpacks being outside of lockers
-using the school issued chromebooks in the library???
-using your locker during passing periods
-using the restroom for longer than 5 minutes
- wayyyy more
Things my school has banned and DOESN'T enforce:
-physical bullying
-verbal bullying
-saying slurs
-discrimination
-microagressions
they really got their priorities straight, eh?
u can’t use your locker during passing periods?? that’s the time you use your lockers, what school thinks like this 💀💀
Mirrors and black clothes *are* micro aggressions i thought

SHIRTS? and they’re call of “black causes depressive moods” no, depression causes depression?? (and that’s still not even right) also banning the color black sounds vaguely racist imo 😭 idk they care more about money, and being the good guys, and ‘shaping us’ instead of trying to put restrictions on killing machines, taking actions against bullies, or creating safe environments where we don’t NEED a phone ban, a place where kids genuinely want to be engaged

My school has this rule where they take away your phone for TWO WHOLE WEEKS. So when you get home, you have no access to anything, and even when there's one week left of school and your phone gets taken, you need to wait after the half term break to get it back.

I disagree on the phone ban not because I want to use my phone in school but because if you don't have your phone on you at school it's gonna be hard to notify your parents if you're in something like an active shooter situation. As much as I don't think school is a place to use your phone, they are there for a reason and we shouldn't ban them completely
Exactly, and I think that being able to keep your phone on your is a better way of teaching students self control than babying them and forcing them to put it in a catty or something. If a student is genuinely having trouble staying off of their phone it should be their responsibility for themselves to learn from their own mistakes, because if you're not paying attention and you're on your phone the entire time you're not only going to make things worse for yourself because you won't understand what's going on and it's disrespectful just in general to sit on your phone while someone is talking to you, but being able to keep it near you and having the self control of having it near you and still paying attention and to maybe only check it occasionally or when needed is a lot more useful of a skill to develop for later in life. In a job your boss isn't gonna take your phone away, they'll fire you for not doing your job. It's just not a realistic standard to give students that won't help them out in the real world

We once had a lockdown and one of the teachers didn’t get on the roster so she didn’t get any info and there were like 12 dads circling the school like sharks likely with guns because they thought something was happening but thats just cause 10 kids(including me) were in the room with the teacher who didn’t know what was happening so she was never told there was no issues and heard there was a guy in the school with a knife. It was just a normal guy outside two blocks(less than 100ft) away on drugs angry at someone also outside the school. It was funny because one of the girls was somehow still having an absolute breakdown in the corner and i was asleep under the teachers desk(i was small)
this is especially bad because some kids, like me, NEED headphones. I have extreme audio sensitivity so i constantly need earbuds to muffle things but even with an IEP i still get yelled at and such. banning a tool to help someone from not having a panic attack three times a day is insane. it just makes me more afraid of school than I already am. this year im a sophomore and thankfully they havent made us lock up our phones (yet) but theyve still banned everyone from using them on school grounds.

my school board threatened to take away the girl's bathroom stall doors. though legally they could never, just the mere thought disgusts me. and the reasoning for it was that there was too much vandalism. another crazy thing is they threatened to take away our bathroom privilege's ENTIRELY. we'd have to take bathroom breaks as an entire class as high schoolers. so during the 8 hours of school, you'd only be allowed the bathroom once or twice a day, which as a girl with a period that simply doesn't work. school rules are going to far atp.

I graduated last year and thank god. My school was slowly and slowly becoming more and more dystopian, especially during my senior year things went off the walls. I can only imagine it’s gotten worse this year. Some of my favorites throughout my years included-
- This wasn’t the school specifically it’s was more a county thing so I don’t blame my school fully for this BUT the nurses weren’t allowed to give out any medication like basic Tylenol unless parents sent out things to allow it.
- We had these stupid things called ‘Halo’ or something that could detect if kids were vaping in the bathroom. Now, this isn’t a problem on its surface but what was a problem is the fact I was actually in the bathroom when some other kid was vaping. Me and another girl were forced to stay outside for 15 minutes or so while waiting for the principal to come. There was another girl in the bathroom and it was CLEAR that she was the one who was vaping because she refused to come out even when the principal was there. Still me and the other girl had to go to the office and get searched for vapes (I don’t even own one). Our classes were 50 minutes each and I missed like 35 minutes, over half of my classes because I had the bad timing of being in the same bathroom of a girl vaping. I wasn’t even allowed to tell my teacher what was happening despite the fact my classroom was right by the bathroom. She was worried about what happened to me y’all cuz I was a good kid who didn’t skip.
- Speaking of the bathroom specifically the sinks were somewhat broken in that one the year I could go to different classes after the Covid year (context: I started going to the school during the covid year and I was locked in one room the entire day, wasn’t till sophomore I went to different rooms for different classes.). These sinks were never fixed and only got worse and worse until only 1 barely worked when I left senior year. Hopefully they fixed them. HOPEFULLY. Honestly a lot of things in there were broken. We had a fire last year due to faulty electrical. Not even one, TWO. Heating didn’t work in half the rooms either.
- we had the e-hall pass things a lot of other people have mentioned here. Luckily most of my teachers allowed us to accept and end the passes ourselves but the ones who didn’t it was really annoying to wait.
- I forget the name exactly but our teachers had this program where they could watch our screens as well as lock away certain tabs or places. Sometimes I would finish my work early, have nothing else to do for the specific class yet not be able to work on other class work because I couldn’t access it. The teachers could also message kids too, no one ever used it expect my English 11 teacher who’d make big brother references (and no we didn’t read it, 1984 was for the 12th graders). Yeah. Also half the time the things would still be applied when you left your class.
- Now this is the kicker here that makes people go “what the hell?” when I tell them about it. Last year my school installed electric locks all over the school. Basically, once class started all the building doors in the school locked and you had to get a teacher or staff member to let you in if you missed the 5 minute time frame. It took me like 3-4 minutes to get from one end of the school to another for context. You could leave the building if you wanted to but you couldn’t enter. If you needed to do something between classes you better hope it was in the building your class is in or you could do it in less than 5 minutes. Supposedly this was to “stop school shootings” but all it did was make things inconvenient for students and more late than they would be if the locks didn’t exist. Apparently there was supposed to be staff in the building by the door to let students in if they were late or missed it but in all the times I was late they were never there and I had to wait or get someone. The door also fucked yo and wasn’t unlocked when I and my class were coming back from lunch. This was during the winter months too and it was a really cold day and it was awful.
I just think about how all that money they spent on shit that didn’t matter and made things harder for students could’ve been spent on fixing up the school.
As for phones, the best way to stop kids from using them is to bribe them honestly lol. My Spanish teachers did last year. Said if we didn’t use our phones for a week we’d get our favorite drinks and snacks. We got them lol.
I am in college now, but my younger sibling is in highschool still. In Houston, they aren't even allowed to go to the bathroom. They make girls bring notes to the office from their parents to prove that they are on their period so they are allowed to use the restroom. They have armed police in the school, and will actually just arrest people for stepping too far out of line. The school system has been taken over by the state, and thousands of teachers are being fired and replaced with people who push the conservatives agendas. It is actually CRAZY out here. THEY PERMANENTLY CLOSED THE LIBRARY...
I am...at a LOSS for words! Pray for your brother 😢
what if the girls period starts while in school, did they just not think of that
@@asherblablabla there all male conservatives, they don't know how periods work.

My schools dress code only tells us not to show our underwear not to wear hoods and no sunglasses I genuinely feel terrible for everyone who has strict dress codes
bro one time a teacher tried to dress code after she looked up my skirt? like it’s not like she saw bare ass because i had shorts on and also why the *fuck* was she looking up a high schooler’s skirt

My school had not only a phone ban, but also a total ban on piercings that weren't on your ears. Kids who already had piercings were expected to remove them. Our school also refused to pay for vape detectors, instead opting to prop the bathroom doors open. It sucked, they would do everything except fix the problems at hand.
dude they made the doors not closable...??
bro call the cops that is NOT legal
As someone with a nose and lip piercing, I’m not taking them out over a rule. They were really freaking expensive!
@@WeirdFloofyMessbad idea in the first place lmao guys don’t get pierced like anywhere except maybe your ears it does not look good
@@arsonzartz It was the outside door to the bathroom, not the stall door. There's nothing keeping them from doing that.
@@Rascalli Nobody cares if you think it looks good your opinion as a separate person is irrelevant
the phone ban is useless. parents sometimes want their children to be able to have their phones to keep them updated. lots of parents worry, especially in america with the amount of god damn gun violence. the first month of school, there were bomb threats, THREE DAYS IN A ROW. having a phone with a child can make them feel safer. not even just shootings, students can have mental issues during class and need to be picked up during class. on the first month of school, i was so close to a panic attack in first period because of some work i had to do(it seems dramatic but i had to interview someone and write about it which can be incredibly scary and stressful) .even if there weren’t shootings, bombings, etc, the phone ban would still be useless. let’s be real, who would actually be okay with it. students could act like they don’t have a phone, keeping it in a bag or pocket. teachers can’t go through your personal items unless they have proof it’s breaking a law.
Teachers always say "if theres an emergency, we'll call your parents." Im sure they would, but so many casualties could be prevented if students were allowed to have their phones in passing periods. I get that they don't want them during class because they can be distracting and they wouldn't be learning anything, but after class and before class starts should be okay. My heart and prayers go out to all the victims and victims familes and people involved of the recent school shooting in georgia, and anyone else who is a victem or survivor of a school shooting. These bans are getting out of hand. I'm lucky enough to go a school with a dress code that isn't that strict and where they let us have phones after school for clubs, but banning makeup, clothes colors, FUCKING HAIRSTYLES AND COLORS, and all around self expression saying it's " better for their mental health" and all that bullshit isn't helping at ALL. Sure maybe some kids are happier because they don't have phones and they don't feel as left out, but come on. Maybe instead of wasting money on stupid bags for phones and a bunch of other shit, they can use their money for paying teachers more, helping kids who are in an ACTUAL CRISIS, and improving education.
If preaching is illegal In School then you can report the school district and the principal for preaching (I think so)
@@Officeofrandom 👏
In my school they lock up all of our phones in a room and we get them back after the last class. On the first day they LOST THE KEY
THAT IS HORRIFYING
OMG???
omg
I would be so fucking angry
Sorta reminds me of when we had an assembly and a sub in the class we were in and the sub didn’t have the door key and it was at the end of the day. She went to go get it and istg she moved like molasses and I missed my bus
as someone who is IN SCHOOL AT THIS MOMENT, we in fact have almost nothing. my district now has extremely strict rules (they didn’t have last year) and so we have to put our phones either in our backpack or in those phone cubbies (which no one does) most teachers don’t care but it’s annoying as hell to hear “put your phone away” at least 10 times a day.
AND. i forgot about this, last year we couldn’t wear our crocs that aren’t in sports mode, but now we can wear them however we want, BUT we can’t wear anything that shows even the slightest of our back, and as someone who only owns like tank tops, jackets are my savior.
another thing is that in class i understand not eating, my school has an ant problem cus someone shoved food in the janitors closet, but we’re growing, WE NEED FOOD WHEN WERE HUNGRY. it’s dumb that we can’t eat when we’re hungry.
we can’t wear crop tops, which is dumb cus why would a stomach disctract people. same thing with shoulders and backs, like bro😭

THE TOP PARAGRAPH IS EXACTLY WHATS HAPPENING AT MY SCHOOL
@@chrissyswifey lololol americans acting like everyone else doesnt have worse rules
I have depression, and black clothes didn't cause a thing. I struggle with self harm, and unironically have an emo/metalhead style. I cannot stress it enough: **BLACK CLOTHES DID NOT DO THIS TO ME. IT WAS TRAUMA.**
Here are my new school rules (I’m a junior in high school and these weren’t in place last year)
1. No phones (only can have them during passing periods, when your teacher says you can, lunch/study hall (for freshmen/sophomores), and advisory. Which isn’t too bad imo)
2. You have to get a written pass to go to the bathroom (full name, time, date, teacher signature)
3. You can’t have more than 4 tardies the entire semester or you get detention
4. If you are late to school more than 4 times a year you will suffer consequences
5. You cannot leave school early without a doctors note after 5 times (this is the entire school year)
6. You now cannot switch your lunch for any reason (ex you want to switch from 5a to 5b because you have no friends in 5a)
7. If we are in a REAL lockdown you are not allowed to get your phone from the the number slots (so you can’t text your parents/loved ones) or get your phone if there’s a fire! Or you will get written up
We used to be able to wear “tight” tops/hoods/beanies/shorts now we can’t! (This rule they didn’t enforce yet)
all of these sound reasonable except 5 n 7
nah i WOULD be getting my shit during a lock down/fire😭
@@yoongsfav 7 is in place because everyone will be scrambling to get their phones
phones = noise
screaming/crying/fighting = noise

5 is valid because people skip school or leave because they dont wanna be there

all of these are perfect besides 5 and 7 like wtf is that-

In elementary school (late 90's/early 00's for me) the only things that were getting banned were Pokemon/Yugioh (for encouraging gambling) and Beyblades (for safety concerns). In highschool, I think the only restrictions we had were no hats, open toed shoes and "revealing clothing" but it was very subjective. Phones were still allowed, just not in class, which was fair. But hearing all this is absolutely insane. I'm not surprised there's been such a rise in youth mental health issues (which are definitely NOT caused by wearing black clothes) when they're literally being sent to the equivalent of a prison. No self expression, limited communication, banning of books, and the threat of possible gun violence. I feel so bad for these kids 🙁
You must live a good life in elementary School in high school is my school rules are so stupid
I myself just graduated highschool in June and I gotta say, I'm really glad that I did when I did because these restrictions are getting out of hand. I understand and definitely agree on the "Cellphones in classes are harmful" point, and yeah it would suck for the first little while cuz I'm used to it, but I'm thinking of the the future, like after the first couple months. Would people actually start talking to each other outside of their little friend groups again? Would talking to people you don't know become normal again? That would actually be awesome. I myself always wanna talk to people I don't know but I'm afraid that I'm gonna be looked at as weird because the world has gotten to this point where if you're not on your phone around people you don't know then you're the one whos weird and wrong, but in my head I don't quite get that. Whats weird to me is a group of people sitting in a room together on their phones completely silent, like what is that? The phones in classes is the only one I agree with, these other new restrictions like no black clothes and no bathroom mirrors are so fucking wack. Also the banned clothes list, half of those are like normal outfits that nobody outside of school would think twice about you wearing. Case and point though, schools are progressively stripping away kids freedom to just do stuff. Obviously children should be monitored because while they aren't stupid, they can make really stupid choices because they don't know any better yet, but having them have to write exactly how long they're gonna be in the bathroom for is straight up dystopian. Children are supposed to learn how life works by experiencing it, making mistakes, realizing a mistake was made, and then correcting it. That's the best way for anyone to learn actually, but when you funnel them into this specific way of living, they aren't gonna learn how anything other than what you put in front of them works, and additionally, if you want children to actually enjoy going to school, you not only have to make what you're teaching fun and engaging, but you have to let them have some amount of freedom and privacy. You can't just lock the children up and expect them to be happy and content with it. I hope things change for the better, thats all I can say, and by the way sorry for the yapenese lesson :)
So, the school I go to is technically public but has a uniform, and this year they made a really controversial change. So they introduced these “formal days” where you had to wear this 90 dollar school blazer, but they banned all hoodies, even ones that were bought from the school store with the school logo. I know a LOT of people who wouldn’t have the money for that kind of thing, and to take away a part of the uniform that’s vital in the winter months is so unfair.
We also use the online hall pass and a system that controls basically everything on our chromebooks. The hall pass gives is 4 minutes MAXIMUM to do anything, and the system (which is called GoGuardian) blocks basically any and all websites, TH-cam videos (which a lot of teachers use for lessons) and it has a keystroke tracker, so it can see what you type. If you leave your camera app open it can see that too. Literally 1984
Oh, not GoGuardian. I’m telling you, you can’t do ANYTHING if GoGuardian is on. Even though my school uses it for a good reason (some people at my school are idiots), it’s still annoying when I use my computer at lunch and I can only view the same few websites.
my friend got flagged on our school’s keystroke tracker for writing an essay about shakespeare with uncensored mentions of people dying in his plays so. good to see the school’s resources going to good use ig

as a public school survivor, i feel so bad for people in (especially american) public schools right now. i am as well, but its a canadian art school- they care 10x more for the kids.
also ben- to answer some of your questions
1. i didnt notice any large amounts of kids wearing excessive amounts of black? maybe its an american thing- all i notice is a lot of pyjama pants 💀
2. dude our teachers are usually so chill about phones, like they just ask to put it away, but this year you can just tell they feel so bad about enforcing it so much because they know it’s normal- they dont lock them away though? i think the office has like- a 3 strike thing, but usually the teachers don’t bring us to the office as i said, because they know we’re kids, (and lets be honest the teachers are on their phones and shit over lunch anyway)
3. my mom fully supports the phone ban and its so annoying because i love her, but i think she thinks kids are stupid, like we arent? 😭
again, my pov is from an 8th grader at an art school in alberta, which i’d consider quite accepting. so this could be completely different for other people
at my school they take away your phone if they even see it in your pocket then the parents or guardians HAVE to pick it up it sucks sm they told us to hide it from them or they’ll have to take it , ur right it’s not the same everywhere but they are getting more strict 😭
Alberta mention?!
Kids are stupid, I’m 23 n there’s plenty of people my age n younger (who are grown adults) who can’t even read at a 2nd grade level so you should check into that again. I don’t think your generation is anyway better. N most people in America can’t afford to go to an art school like maybe a Canadian can. I get wym on your other points but you have a very rose colored view on the world coming from a place of privilege.

as a student from centryl europe, in every school that i ever went to, everything exept wearing black was always banned cause they wnted to teach us how to be "proffesional at work". we had makeup banned, sunglasses, hats, any ripped jeans, tanktops, croptops, really short shorts or skirts, etc. we couldnt even dye hair and this was a basic public elementary school im talking abt rn. in my middleschool we would wear crocks, makeup and dye our hair, and honestly, im happy for that.
Banning phones is crazy, I always have my phone on my person because of how unsafe school has become
Glad that I graduated. What I’m seeing in high schools nowadays on the media just pisses me off. It’s just the school board upping their petty levels by 50%
My school banned backpacks, and no one has a good reason why. They tell us to use our lockers but don’t let us go to our lockers except the morning. I wish we could speak up, the teachers don’t want to listen to us when we talk about the crazy rules.
My school bans:)
-shorts
-ripped jeans
-tank tops (spaghetti straps)
-crop tops
-bulldog logo
-hats
-phones in class
-sports team clothes
-flip flops
-ugg slippers (Tasman ones specifically)
-piercing (except ear piercings)
-unnatural hair color
-mirrors in girls bathrooms
My highschool banned the use of cellphones in class. But we can keep it on us and use it at the end of class. I’m glad my school isn’t this strict. We don’t really have a dress code either
your soo lucky girl what I would give 😭
I'm 17 and my highschool treats me like I'm crazy, I go to a all guys school, they don't even let me bring a gameboy
It's crazy to see people flipping out about these bans, when the schools in my country have:
- STRICT uniforms (they control what you wear down to the COLOR OF YOUR HAIR TIE)
- no phones allowed
- no makeup
- no jewelry
_ no nail polish
- no unapproved hairstyle (only braids for girls, and hair must remain above the ears for boys, no bangs for both genders)
- no dyed hair, or piercings other than nostril and ear
- so much more..
Plus they painted the building fucking grey with WHITE BARS ON THE WINDOWS. It's literally jail.
It's obviously country to country. Because in America it's based on freedom. Like what's the point in calling it that if I can't even use my phone when I have nothing to do. Also I feel bad for you. I'm sorry you have to go through that
Oh my god what country is it cause I know what country I'm not going to this summer
Also that sounds absolutely depressing and I hope you are doing well
sounds like north korea but without becoming a slave damn
Because we didn't start school with these rules, they just keep setting more stupid rules. Why ban phones at school in a country that has the most school shootings? It makes no sense.
It depends more on the institution and laws. I'm my country, all public schools also have a strict uniform and length rule for example. But they CANNOT tell you that you can't have piercings or tattoos or colored hair: you can wear makeup that's not so colorful (cuz who tf goes to school with a Coachella makeup). They can not mess with your appearance cuz of the law of free expression. That's for publis schools, private schools do their own stuff and rules, but if you're in a private you or your parents had to agree to that before even putting you in
In the school that I go to, it is a literal CRIME to have your phone out while school is in session. (U pretty much cant have your phones out until u leave the building to go home). And if you're caught w a phone out its a suspension and ban from any school events for that semester.
WHAT? PLEAAAASEEEE tell me that they don’t do that for kids who need it to monitor medical stuff-

Hey chat, new freshman here!! Tip for yonder pouches, say u dont have a phone. Their not allowed to check ur bags.
As much as i agree with the whole "no phone" thing, there are reasons you NEED to have your phone.
If theres an emergency you NEED to call your parents, how is ANYONE supposed to notify police if they see a gun??
At my school, we can go off campus, but how are we supposed to check the time...? This will make us all late. We're not even allowed to have watches, and what if we cant afford a watch?
Its a good idea, but its not safe.
You literally give the school emergency phone numbers when you attend a school, they have all your contact info and stuff about illnesses or allergies in their database. And when you need to call the police a whole classroom doesn’t only the teacher or principal does if there aren’t already some at your school for security. You shouldn’t be able to leave once you step on campus really because of truancy and being underage wandering outside of school, unless ur talking about college freshman in that case they probably don’t give a ship
Our school banned any personal devices..
What if your bag is clear..? Or what if the entire school only allows clear bags? How do u hide ur phone?

My school is banning, guess what? BATHROOM BREAKS IN CLASSES. you only have passing period, and if you’re late cuz your class is far and you had to use the bathroom? You’re counted absent for the class as you skipping. And if you get THREE of those, you go to in school suspension. I have some really bad issues and it’s horrible, I am having to switch to online school because of this. It’s dumb.
My school has that too we can’t use the bathroom during class but then when we’re switching periods/classes there’s admin people watching the bathrooms and ur not even allowed to you the bathrooms then and once lunch comes around you can use the bathroom for 10 mins b4 they lock it up again for the whole day so pretty much my school banned using the bathroom as a whole😭🙏🙏

I thought my school was the ONLY one banning literally everything. You can’t have your phone on you (in your backpack, in your pocket, anywhere really besides in your locker or at home which I get but like why can’t you just establish that we can’t take out our phones at all to begin with instead of just making us disown them for 6 hours straight), not to mention we can’t even have our BACKPACKS ANYMORE, we have to put them in our locker as soon as homeroom starts or else they get confiscated and we cant get them back until the end of the day. Keep in mind, this is being introduced to middle schoolers who have lockers, but they NEVER use them. It was an unknown thing for our lockers to be an important part of our school life, but now we have to get use to this completely new routine within the first week of school or else we get our stuff token and get punished for being lazy and “rebellious”. And our new principle gave us these cheap, 2$ crappy black binders with a small mesh clip-on pencil case to hold all of our belongings for school. The worst part is, we can’t even replace the binder with our own or customize it with stickers or draw on it or we have to pay 15$ FUCKING DOLLARS to replace the dollar-store binder. And I get that this rule is kind of already implemented in some other places and some people have gotten used to it, like they have time in passing period to just get their supplies for their next class, but we only have 4 minutes in passing period to get to our next class and do everything else.
Banning all black clothes is crazy, my scemo ass would not survive 😭😭
my school basically banned electronics but its so stupid cuz my school is 99% technology based and its a "work at your own pace" school, so taking away stuff like that basically just eliminates the entire point of my school

same here!!! it's so annoying, i had a panic attack because i didn't have music and i got overstimulated
I'm in Australia and these are the rules at my school
1-you have to wear school uniform and black or navy blue pants not booty shorts or anything too high you can wear skirts and have to be sneakers no ugg boots or crocs
2-no phones at all "phones off and locked away all day" which is stupid if there is a fire your phones will burn if you get caught on your phone you pick it up first time you get caught 2nd time parent picks it up 3rd time you have a meeting with parents and principal you go through the school gate you hand the person your phone u get a number and end to the day u give them the number u get your phone
3-bathroom you have a bathroom pass and you go to the toilets someone is sitting outside and you have to write your name, your year and the time and after like its been 15 minutes they go and check if you are in there and just knock on stalls like hello privacy
4-if you are late you have to go to student services and sign in and they always give you a lecture of saying u need to be to school on time blah blah blah and they give u a late pass and you go to class and the teachers never open the door and say why did u interrupt my class and stuff
5-if you lets say talk while the teacher is talking they will class triage its like in school police and they will take you to a different class and if you were a bystander to lets say someone stealing stuff from someone you get told off and sent home for what seeing it I'm not no snitch
6- the school food is so expensive what do u mean I have to spend nearly 5 bucks for a toastie like what and a drink is 6.50 like what they make it so expensive for a small drink
7-the teachers will swear at you back and like they do throw things at you like pencils if you are sleeping or not paying attention and will yell at you back for not listening and will constantly ask you to do work even if you don understand it they wont help you even if you ask they just go like oh you understand you just being dumb
and that a public school in Australia there more rules and they are all stupid but my school starts at 8:26-2:40
my school has banned boys wearing earrings, piercings other than ear piercings, dyeing your hair colors that arent natural (for example, dyeing your hair blue or purple is against dress code but colors like blonde and black would be fine), youre not allowed phones unless you ask a teacher, no hats UNLESS its a hat bought from the school (it should have the school colors, school logo, school name, district name, something like that), no sandals, no headphones (even at lunch or inbetween classes), and more 😭😭 we also have bible verses in the hallways and our teachers will talk about god and religion mid class. its a texas public school, preaching religion is illegal 🔥🔥🔥 theyre also taking away the bathrooms. like theres a solid 3 bathrooms that are closed and two of those are the only ones you can use during several classes without switching buildings. not to mention theyre banning those stanley cups. OH almost forgot have to edit this in but they banned the use of inhalers when youre working out. i had to drop out of athletics due to struggling with breathing and needing an inhaler because they wouldnt allow me to take the inhaler with me. boys also arent allowed to have hair below the collar of their shirt (teachers can shave the students head if they wish) small town stuff i guess

As someone who literally just left their school, my school has banned tons of things. They took down the mirrors in the bathrooms, phones aren't even allowed to be SEEN in pockets or it'll be taken away. They also locked the bathrooms during our lessons so we couldn't skip class. The only way we can go is if we get a key. And the only bathroom we can use has 2 stalls 😨
Same at my school you’re unfortunately not alone😭
The cause for kids not learning to read is because the schools don’t teach with phonics anymore. They teach sight words so they can only read a certain list of words, and they can’t sound out words they don’t know.
