is breathing allowed?</div>

If the old headmaster had his way, then probably not. Also, he would probably have ensured that everyone looked exactly the same if it were possible.
 
<div class="quote_poster">chingy0007 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I don't really have enough time to write them all, lol. I'll write as many as I can:

<ul>
[*]No mobile phones.
[*]No MP3 players, walkmans etc.
[*]Hair must not be below grade 3 or cover ears.
[*]No facial hair (headmaster gave my classmate a razor to shave during school last year. He has left since and it's funny because he has the bushiest mustache ever.)
[*]No hooded sweatshirts to be taken to school.
[*]No sweatshirts/jackets with large logos to be worn.
[*]Uniform: White shirt, school tie, black jumper, black trousers, black socks, black shoes. Shirt must always be tucked in and top button done up (even if it's 30+ Centigrade). Tie must reach belly button.
[*]If you are caught breaking these rules even whilst walking to or from school it is grounds for detention.
[*]No gel in hair.
[*]No colour in hair (highlights, dye etc). Once somebody bleached their hair during the 6 week summer holidays. The night before the first day back, the bleach had not gone, so they cut it as short as the school would allow, but it was still visible. So, they put gel in their hair, as it darkens it so you can't tell. They got to school and were made to wash the gel out. Then, when they saw it had bleach in, they put him in isolation (internal exclusion). He got home, and his mother phoned the school to explain the situation. She asked if they could dye it back to the original colour (because they would'nt allow him to keep it how it was and then the reply was 'no, we don't allow dye'. WTF is up with that?
[*]No livestrong bands/anything like that.
[*]No neck chains.
[*]No ear-rings.
[*]No rings.
[*]No jewellary other than watches or medical notices (on neck chains).
[*]P.E. uniform (which you change into and out of, some foreign shcools don't): white t-shirt, black shorts, white socks, white trainers for indoor P.E. Red rugby shirt, black shorts, black long socks, football boots, shin pads (if necessary).
[*]No mucking around on buses (else you'll be banned from it).
[*]Bus costs ?1 ($1.60 ish)
[*]Seating plans in lessons - you are told where to sit for which lessons.
[*]Must stay in school all day.
[*]5 lessons per day, 1 hour each; not time between lessons (except for 20 minute break and 35 minute lunch). Must be in school for 8:25. If you are late, you will have your name taken down by senior prefects (ME!) and have to see Deputy Head at break time.
[*]School years 7 (12 year olds) to 9 (14 year olds) must do litter duty around the school for two weeks per year (break and lunch) even if they do nothing wrong.
[*]No eating or drinking inside school building other than canteen.
[*]No chewing gum.
[/list]

That's aboutall I can think of now. This is a secondary school in England (no cost, not private) and is boys-only, another thing I hate. Oh well, it's my last year before two years at sixth-form college and then off to Uni.</div>

Jesus Christ I'm never complaining again. And it's a boys-only school too...wow.
 
Oh yeah, here's a dumb one. If you get ejected from one of my high school's sports games you get a day of OSS. So if you get two technical fouls in a basketball game, you get suspended a day. That's crazy.

good lord of mercy! it should be illegal to have those rules
 
Wait lets see how many of chingy0007's school rules I would be violating with the way I am right now:

<font color=""Indigo"">No mobile phones.</font>
<font color=""indigo"">No MP3 players, walkmans etc.</font>
<font color=""indigo"">Hair must not be below grade 3 or cover ears.</font> [I'm planning to grow it out so this rule would be broken soon too]
<font color=""indigo"">No facial hair </font>
<font color=""indigo"">No hooded sweatshirts to be taken to school.</font>
<font color=""indigo"">No gel in hair</font>.
<font color=""indigo"">No colour in hair (highlights, dye etc). </font>
<font color=""indigo"">No livestrong bands/anything like that.</font>
<font color=""Indigo"">No neck chains.</font>
<font color=""indigo"">No ear-rings</font>.
<font color=""indigo"">No rings.</font>
<font color=""indigo"">No jewellary other than watches or medical notices</font>

I don't know what "mucking around" on buses means, but if it means fooling around and talking a lot on the bus, then you can check that off as well.

They should just suspend you without pay for your next basketball game.

smae with us, I don't think that that is a very strange idea. We also need hair that isn't distracting (so nothing long) and no bands of any kind as well as only white blue or red shoes. The shoes thing is the only one that bugs me.
 
When you're talking about the shoe color do you mean during games? Because my school solved that problem by implementing a team shoe. I think the coaches wanted to be like Coach Carter with the suits.

Our clothing thing has been in affect for 50+ years, and the shoe thing is only for games, and we do have team shoes, but they are usually crappy and not required.
 
My schools also really strict on the whole cell phone thing. Like one time my one class was on a field trip and my friend called her boyfriend back at school at like 2:45 (we get out at 2:25) and he answered it and got it taken away while she was still on the phone. The first offense, you lose it until 3:00 of that day. Second offense, you lose it and your parents have to come get it. Third offense, you lose it for the semester which I think is illegal because you pay for it and its your property. So technically, I think it's stealing.

But you do get it back right? Basically it's just confiscation for a longer period of time. Either way, the person would've known by the 3rd time not to turn it on, lol.
 
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"Every time I would get arrested" wtf?? Suge Knight is that you?</div>

Bro', I'm talking about high school. I haven't been arrested since I turned 18.
 
Arrested or not caught?

My school doesn't have many rules, just go by common sense, i.e. no stealing, bullying, littering and that kind of stuff. They are, however, promoting what they say is the "spirit" of the school, which means being nice to teachers and student, by holding the door for someone and stuff like that. Nothing to complain about really.
 
Another stupid rule at my School here in Brisbane was that students had to pick up rubbish when the teacher came around and asked, now I never ate lunch, so I had no rubbish to dispose of, so I always refused to pick up other peoples dirty rubbish (if they want to pay me to do it, then fine, but I went to school to "learn", not pick up rubbish), which led to a trip to the principals office where I just went off at her, but I tell you what, from that day on, every time the teacher came past telling us to pick up rubbish, she never asked me after that day I stood up to her.
 
You guys will LOVE college because for the most part there are no rules.
 
i dont think my school has rules, i once smoked a joint in class under the desk with two buddies and our teacher pretented that we werent there, and teachers were caught toking a bong and nothin happened to them, alot of kids smoke cigerettes around school and teachers dont say anything its basically allowed, oh i go to an Art school, we have maths and science and all that but mostly kids are just doing art subjects. but there is a rule on lateness that if you are over 5 minutes late you are counted absent and if you have 5 absentses in one class you fail so you gotta turn up.

In Australia
 
My high school was crazy, you could get away with anything. When I was in high school, this kid in my class got a fire extinguisher and sprayed it all over the substitute teacher. That's just a minor example of what my high school was like. Anyone that got suspended from other schools came to my school.

No cellphones
If your cellphone goes off, you gotta give it to the teacher and she will give it to the district school police and you gotta get it fro them for $20 bucks.
 
I do sometimes, but it is hard to change it to silent, then back, then silent, then back throughout the day, I sometimes forget.
 
i dont know if this corresponds with rules but when i was in high school...for like basketball and football class they basically made us buy a lock for our locker to store our crap when we changed but yet if anything was stolen out of it.. it was are responability..which i thought made no sense at all.i had my dre 2001 cd jacked like the week after it came out..luckly i knew who to took it and got it with and extra andrew johnson
 
I remember my friend went to this college for computing and they had disabled the right click on the mouse ... I have no idea why?
