Top Ten Most Common Rules at School
-
Raise your hand before you speak
In the regular, general, and semi-honor sections, they always follow this rule so they can rise to the honors section.
They just don't know the number of crazy and downright insane rule-breakers the honor class usually contains.
If you just shout out without raising your hand, that would be so rude to the teacher, and you might get in trouble.
This is the best rule. It means that the teacher has the opportunity to hear what the quiet kids want to say.
-
No eating in class
I still eat in class without getting caught. It's easy - just chew slowly so it looks like you're not eating and keep your food in your lap so no one sees. It works for me at least.
When I am really hungry, I eat some chips. I put the bag on the bench and quickly put the chips in my mouth without the teacher noticing. I chew with my saliva. That's what I do, and I've never been caught.
There's a teacher who let me eat in class. I didn't get yelled at. He was nice. The science teacher and the other students were eating too!

Be on task
-
Keep your hands and feet to yourself
Yeah, I gotta vote for this one. Two boys in math class - one got the other to turn his head, then put his hand on his hand and almost kissed. The teacher saw it and said, Don't do that.
By the way, everyone was doing work while I noticed something near me. Yep, they accidentally kissed. It was the other person's fault.
I was told this... then someone was literally fighting me, and all the teachers were like, "Why didn't you defend yourself?" I was literally told not to.
Unless someone is physically harming you!
-
No talking when the teacher is talking
Teacher: Why are you talking when I'm teaching?
Me: Why are you teaching when I'm talking?
After the teacher is done talking, you can raise your hand and tell her what you need to.
It is right that we should not talk while our teacher is talking. My class seems a little talkative.
-
Be respectful to other students
Could they teach that to my classmates? They don't know the definition of respectful.
CartoonsGirl, we must go to the same school or something. I have yet to be told something nice by anyone at my school.
Obviously, the kids at my school don't know the meaning of respecting opinions.
-
All assignments must be done on time
Pretty much my teacher in a nutshell. Even if someone has an injury or is sick, they have to do the assignment on time! I would agree with this rule, though, as a lot of schools have this rule.
I agree with this, unless there is a medical or valid reason for not completing the assignment.
Would you rather do your homework or be scolded by the teacher or have them call your parents?
-
No running
This rule is bad. I can't get up three levels, open my locker, get all the way down, go across the field, and get to class in five minutes without running. I can barely do it with running.
This rule is pointless and stupid.
People always get yelled at for running, even though it's not really an issue.
-
Always use the bathroom at break and lunchtime
I know, right! I am a woman, which means I don't choose when stuff comes out of me. So... you'll just have to get a bloody chair then... oh well...
Yes, you can get kidney disease from holding your pee or poo in too long.
If I gotta go, I gotta go. I once nearly gave the teacher some fudge because of this.
-
Don't vandalize school property
If you want your name displayed in school, work hard and get a plaque instead of graffitiing it onto the lockers.
This is an actual law in the real world, so of course you can't do it in school.
-
?
No cursing unless you really have to
There are reasons to curse but most of the time it's unnecessary.
-
?
Show fairness to people
If you are not kind or respectful, you will not go outside for recess.
-
Always remain in your seat
As someone who suffers from ADHD, I'm always getting out of my seat. And when I do stay in my seat, I'm not paying any attention at all.
-
Be nice
-
Don't use foul language
Yeah, there's not much to say. It's a fair rule, to be honest, unless you're a college student or in senior year or something.
-
Stay focused
-
Get to school on time
My friends are always late to school, but the teachers didn't even know they had come in.
Getting to school on time helps you avoid missing classes. Being punctual also helps you get into a routine.
We must all get to school on time, or we might miss important news.
-
Pay attention
I pay attention to the dreams I have in class. Does that count?
If you don't pay attention, you won't get your work done.
-
No racism
I personally think that racism is stupid, mainly because we're all people. We all have feelings, and no one wants to be left out or bullied because they are black or white. Deep down, underneath a human's skin tone or color, we are all (well, almost all) good people. So stop judging and start fighting against it!
This one is the most sensible. Stop hating on Blacks, Asians, or Pacific Islanders!
Glad there is no racism at my school.
-
Do not shout in the class
Simple manners at the end of the day.
I agree because if we shout, we could disturb other classes that are paying attention.
I have the loudest schoolmates possible. They are so annoying and talk with the teacher about irrelevant stuff, and the teacher doesn't care. Just shut up.
-
Don't chew gum
My homeroom teacher came into class one day chewing gum. If the teachers are breaking this rule, it's kind of pointless. My classmates always chew gum. I don't chew it, but I don't like it.
My school allows you to chew gum as long as you keep it in your mouth. The rules even say, "It is a good way to relieve stress and concentrate."
I think we should not chew gum at school because it is bad.
-
No fighting
One day, I was in school and saw two of my best friends fighting with two other friends. I told them to stop fighting, but one of my best friends said, "We'll have to fight with them until death!"
I was like, *super facepalm* "How are you going to fight with them when you're an adult? You don't even know where they are!"
But it was too late. They had already left and started fighting with the other friends. I was going to tell those people who help us, but they said, "Oh, they will probably stop."
But they didn't. I quit and started playing with other friends.
-
Wash your hands
Schools don't allow their students to use the bathroom to do this sometimes. That's why I carry around some hand sanitizer with me at all times.
People who don't understand this should get a lesson.
-
Your pencil should be talking not your mouth
It means that the teacher wants you to be quiet and do your work.
-
Use the correct uniform
We got lots of uniform slips because people wear very short shorts (girls) to look hot and attractive. Also, boys wear track suit pants and Nike or Champion hoodies. I wore a Champion hoodie and got in trouble and received a slip!
In India, if it is any student's birthday, they are allowed to wear their favorite dresses. I don't know whether this is true in other countries.
-
No phones in class
This is a dumb rule. Unless you are on your phone and not paying attention at all, phones are harmless. Music while I work is pretty much a must, but that can't be allowed because of this rule that has no real reason for being enforced.
This goes out to my friends with phones! Dude, in language class, they get their phones out (almost everyone except me and three other boys) and get in trouble while we just talk to each other.
My classmates secretly bring phones to school. The teachers know, but they don't care.

Stay focused on school work
