Welcome to Gaia! ::

At my school you can get suspended for having a cell phone on you. Even if you don't use it at all you can still get suspended witch I find really really stupid.
I get the rules of no cellphones in school, no gum, etc. (It's actually quite annoying to watch someone chew the entire time)...

What I don't get, however, was the no mp3-players in the hall, or during lunch break. My sister couldn't listen to hers during lunch. I get it that you can't ''socialise'' much that way, but exactly what do you learn during lunch?

Besides, I have a lot of ''inbetween'' periods at school, usually two after each other. If I don't have class, why shouldn't I be able to listen to it? I usually work better with music anyway, because it keeps the other noises out.

and i forgot we arent allowed to hug ppl in school
Lol after school we had this program to go "hang out" but now you have to do 45 mins of work before you "have fun" Lol i feel bad for the next generations to come xD they'll never experience what we had ;3
I always thought the no hat rule was stupid.

But our school's late policy is INSANE. Even if we're late for class:
1st Offence: Call home
2nd Offence: All day Saturday Detention
3rd Offence: 1 day Suspension

Honestly, most people don't bother to go to school if they're late.

In my old high school..
We weren't allowed to peacefully study in some Halls.
Not being able to listen to your MP3's on the bus. In school, I can understand, but on the bus, that's the only thing that keeps me sane. Stupid school system. But then again, my local school system does suck beyond all worldly possibility.
We arnt allowed to buy food across the un busy street at the pizza shop...if we r buying food we have to buy the schools food and it sucks a** and u normally always find pplz hairs in it... crying
the bottom of our shorts have to be touching our fingertips when our hands are down. and if they are shorter and we wear leggings under them, we get busted.

Thats in our rules too. It really sucks because our school system CONSTANTLY gets on girls for that, yet boys can wear their pants down to their knees with their boxers hanging out.
no facial piercings. (which is the reason my mother wouldnt let me get one this summer)
shorts/skirts now have to be past fingertips.
if we are late we have 'the line'.
'the line'. where you stand on the basketball court during break. stupid rule.
no graphic tees and no teeshirts except for fridays. and they have to be school shirts. && i got the stupid ******** line for that friday and the damn teacher who gave it to me had a teeshirt on that wasnt one of our school tee shirts. b***h.

no gum.
no food in the commons.
no drinks anywhere but the cafeteria besides water.
um. and the list goes on.
My high school sorta NEEDS some rules... XD Like the whole last month, I played DS everyday while listening to my MP3 player, watched Doctor Who from my flash drive, read books, drew, and I had my cell phone too. XD And the entire year, I carried my backpack with me. (we didn't get lockers until December. Seriously. User Image ) I DID do my work first, but still! Most schools would have kicked me out in a SECOND, even if I did finish my work an hour early. XD I love my school.

But my middle school had some dumb rule about a specific brand of clothes... but it wasn't enforced, and they made it up during like the last month anyway. neutral
And the first week of 8th grade, they didn't give me a locker when they were supposed to, so I got yelled at a lot by my new teachers for having my -nearly empty- backpack... T___T -sniffle- 'til they realized "Oh... not everyone has a locker yet." User Image
wow compared to y'all's schools mine is awesome! granted we do have to wear uniforms (certain color solid colored polos, plain leather belt, khaki/navy long pants, etc) but girls go around slapping eachothers butts in the hallway and no one cares. there is no 'no contact' rule or w/e, this one guy sleeps in half of his classes and the teachers just ask him to copy the board when they are done with most of what they had to say, we text and listen to ipods in the bathroom, lunch is in the gym so after you are done eating you can play basketball or volleyball, we can use the school's phones basicly whenever the teachers will let you go, etc.

the principal's son orders food and has it delivered (or goes out and gets it) and eats it in his chemestry class rolleyes honestly no one cares except his chemestry teacher (who might still have ants in her room).

sorry for the monster wall of text there, and no use of good gramar sweatdrop
