Ridiculous School Rules

[Pmea]

They ignored it for a while, until the higher ups shoved it down their throats. They run the risk of being written up for letting us walk 10 feet outside the room.

That's stupid yes.

But I would understand that they don't want you to be sent across the school without accountability.

I don't have a problem with signing a pass to go to the other side of the school or even leave the wing. But across the hallway is absolutely ridiculous.

[The BranRiech]

I have one of those schools where if one person gets in trouble for somthing, the other five people who are within about 5 feet of said person also get in trouble no matter what they were doing.

No I'll tell you a stupid school rule, no leaving the campus at all for anything and coming back, not even off campus lunch, a family emergency that lasts through lunch, a doctors appointment, nothing. Theres also my school rule that everyone has to have their LEARNER PLEDGE on them at all times, you don't you get to stay at the scholl till 8 PM and get there at 4 AM .

I'm pretty sure they will let you go with your parent's permission.

[Bombadil]

As I understand it they will taser him and then put him in jail for life these days.

These aren't games we are playing. We fall so that others may stand!

Enjoy those orange overalls in Gitmo you terrorist.

Okilily dokily.
I'm fine with that.

The thing is, even if your parents sign you out, they won't let you back on campus without issuing a ticket for trespassing

[JuNii]

... up to you.

I would find out what caused such a rule in the first place. too much people cutting classes? then the blame falls on the students.

but if you still want to protest, and there's enough of you. then when the bell rings to signal the end of class, have all the students sit at their desks. when questioned by the teacher, inform him/her that the students cannot leave the classroom for any reason, without a signed pass.

any reason includes, end of class/day...

What kinda school do you go to and why haven't you left and sued.

Also to be on topic, my school doesn't have many dumb rules but there are some annoying nuances. But then again we have a de facto open campus and all. (It's not legal but it's easy enough to do it w/o being caught).

[Astrolinium]

You could also not fight back if attacked.

That's generally a rule across the board, I think. I also believe they tend to allow you to "attempt to restrain your attacker".

[Idaho Conservatives]

Children cannot interrupt a teacher and walk out of a classroom whenever they please? You're telling me that they have to have the dreadful inconvenience of signing one piece of paper to do so? What has society come to?

Not even that.

You were supposed to run away like a coward, or just take it if you were pinned down.
Not to mention if you were just there and didn't do anything, you got in trouble.

I go to a new tech, the principal snapped and made his own rules on top of stupid district ones (In a fire TAKS Tests, now STARS, are more importent then the lives of the students, the teacher has to have them in order to leave the classroom, even during a fire) and if I sue I don't get the free MacBook when I graduate, and it'll cost more in lawyers than I'm ever likely to earn here, all the parents supports uniforms, the district & school rules. BLAH BLAH BLAH

I am a senior, and I am taking law classes in the school, We were covering extensively where the boold says, several times "Students or those under eighteen without a GED have No Constitutional Rights." They are allowed to randomly drug test students in a high school, but they aren't allowed to test the teachers because THAT would be a violation to their right to privacy.

[Academi]

PDA it is the stupidest rule its my personal business what I do with a girl and if someone feels 'uncomfortable' they can look away?

[Ifreann]

And beer in the vending machines.

Tsk Tsk

That's against federal law mister.

Federal law can suck it.

That's okay if you make out a little bit in the hallway.

But I would rather not just see you two fucking on the floor.

[Ravineworld]

As a sophomore in high school, obviously I think quite a few rules are unnecessary. But this time, they just went too far. Now to leave the classroom for any reason, a student must have a signed pass. This really gets to me during my last class of the day, which is literally right across the hall from bathrooms, water fountains, and my locker. Students here usually just complain, but they might actually do something about this. Thoughts?

The public school system is severely flawed, if you believe its goal to be to educate the children. The real lessons learned in school is that strict rules and mandatory attendance policies force you to learn what others want you to learn, even if said material is not necessarily what is in your best interest to learn. Adults have certain rights when dealing with law enforcement personnel, in the classroom students seem to have no such rights when dealing with school personnel. I think the reason for the lack of students rights is because younger children do not have the capability of lobbying for change. The best illustration of this is that the quality of school lunches correlates with the age and grade of the children. Clearly as students get older, the lunches tend to become higher and higher quality. This is because older students begin to have the capability to protest the lower quality lunches.

this.

In my school, if you KNOW of a fight, or if you hear rumors, and a teacher finds out you knew, you are to be treated as though you fought.
Those who fight in my school, defender or attacker are maced by the standing police officer, he tells us it's "Standard procedure" to calm both parties down, and in other cases, he is to taze them.

And I reffered to my middle school as a police state.

That is an out and out lie. The Supreme Court has ruled that you do NOT leave your rights at the school house door.

Perhaps you should do some investigation and research on your own. Google it.

This reminds me of my secondary school. The whole time I was there, they had a policy of making you ask for permission to go to the toilet, and often teachers would just refuse and make you sit there til the lesson ended. Which sucked, but we got on with it. However, in my last year there, they decided that too many students were skipping classes by hiding in the bathrooms (which I doubt, a lot. The stench in there was unimaginable), so they started locking the toilets all day, and only opening them up in the lunch breaks. But often, the person sent to unlock them would be 10, 15 minutes late (and we only had half an hour for our lunch break). One time, the person didn't show up at all. By the time it got to the end of our lunchbreak, there was a huge line of students outside the toilets, desperate to go, and someone kicked the door down, and was excluded for a week for doing so. A few weeks later, when he was back in school, the same thing happened. They never turned up with the keys. So instead of kicking the door down again and being excluded, he walked up to the door and did his business right there. He got excluded again, but his parents complained so much they ended up ending his exclusion early and they stopped locking the toilets all day.

Anyways, moral of the story is, if they don't let you go to the toilets to take a leak, you do it right there in front of them.

I'm simply stating what is in the law text books. It was about a student-ran radio station, and once the principal heard of them critisizing the school's polices FROM AN OUTSIDE STATION, he immediately suspended them.
And in the book, we're told it was the right decision because as students,t hey have no rights, and the principal felt what he did as right.
