Ridiculous School Rules

[The Knights of the Golden Circle]

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?

Exact same thing just happend to my school.

Moonshine does go really well with cigarettes.

I feel threatened by your overbearing masculinity.

Hey I'm just saying. Have you ever had moonshine or cigarettes? Or the combination of the two? They go great...but then cigarettes and any type of alcohol go really well together.

Yeah man, lung/mouth/throat cancer and liver failure are the perfect combination.

I'm a Marlboro Reds smoker myself. It's literally heaven in a box.

I do enjoy Marlboros quite a bit! Have you tried Winston full flavored's though? They are great!

Once or twice. I remember they last longer than Marlboro Reds, but the taste isn't as good.

[Forsher]

Bad luck.

I pre-empted such jokes. Hence the disclaimer.

You're no fun!

The disclaimer is necessary. I need protection from zealots who remove the context from posts.

Why are you all derailing this thread?

We are still debating the silliness of anti-smoking school rules. On that note, they are very sensible.

You're just a party pooper. Its a known fact that people who drink and smoke are more fun than people who don't.

[Van Dalia]

Yeah man, people who smell like shit and act like idiots are so fun!

I'd spruik a big tobacco company too, but they're poisonous and smell like death.

We're cheaper to care for than non smokers and we have more fun.

Haters gonna hate.

Right, and anti-everything hypochondriacs are?

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.

We have passes, we're issued ids that have to be worn 8:00-3:45, and food quality sucks. While the school I went to freshman year only did passes, and had good food. Thanks Greenville SC schools.

Who said I'm an anti everything hypochondriac? I just like smelling good and living longer. If you want to smoke weed that's fine by me, it smells better and doesn't kill you.

Having gone to a Catholic all-girls' school, I have to say "No boys near the perimeter" was just plain asinine. Though, watching the nuns freak out and scurry to chase off a visiting boyfriend was always amusing.

I imagine it would be. Surely they'd stay on the path? That way the nuns couldn't actually do anything...

I'd rather cost less to be taken care for and I'd rather have more fun.

I guess we're even.

Later death = more time for parties. I pity you if you can't have fun without having to digest poisonous substances. You're gung ho attitude is making me sound like Hippostania. And I don't like that.

[Van Dalia]

Yeah, but see, you may have more fun in your shorter lifespan, but since I live longer the total amount of fun evens out. So yeah, looks like we're even. Hey man, wanna do some heroin? It's good for you and fun!

Pff. Not hating. I know heaps of smokers extremely well. I grew up around tobacco. It's your life man.

We had a chain link fence around the main courtyard, which is where the only incident I can recall occurred. Had any one of the girls been smart about it, they could have just met up at a different section, but I suspect the boy's visit was a surprise. He beckoned to his girlfriend from the other side of the chain link fence and the nuns cleared the entire span of the courtyard in .06 seconds.

Nah, I would rather stick to my Marlboro Reds. Care to join me?

In case you didn't know, smoking saves lives .

[Van Dalia]

But ends a great deal more, and not in very pleasant ways. Slowly dying over the course of 2 years from smoke-induced emphysema like my grandmother did didn't look very fun.
