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?

You take a stand and you take it now. You stand up in class, head to the bathroom. If any teacher stops you, urinate. Urinate immediately. They will speak of your bravery for years to come.

And the teacher will salute you, while a single tear runs down his cheek.

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.

That's probably because students are dicks who'll use an excuse to leave class as an excuse to do drugs, abandon the class, break rules somewhere private or any multitude of things. Oh no, you need teacher permission to leave their room and abandon the learning environment...?

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

It's already in place in my school.

It really isn't that ridiculous, not to mention the teacher will most likely just let you go if you need to use the restroom across the hall without the pass.

Yes, rules that inconvenience you are stupid and unnecessary. Fight the power, etc.

Being unable to leave the room without the teacher's permission seems to be an adavantage.

What they should do is build classrooms outdoors so no-one wants to leave and freeze, it works much better.

I'm not concerned about teacher permission. As a matter of fact, most of the teachers think its stupid. Unfortunately, they have bosses.

My God, does that mean that you...you have to actually stay in the classroom and...and learn?

The Mayans were right. These are the end times.

So basically you just want the ability to leave whenever?

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.

We had a principle declare flip-flops a dangerous weapon, and ban students wearing all black clothing.

Needless to say, he's universally renowned as insane.

I want the ability to walk across the hallway to get a drink without signing a pass.

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 .

My old middle school declared high fives as PDA and punishable by detention.
You could also not fight back if attacked.

That's perfectly fine.

If you have the teacher's permission. I agree you don't need a pass though.
