Top Ten Worst School Rules

The Top Ten
1 No bathroom breaks

Wow no hate no gum no facial hair no bathroom breaks no toys from home. Whoever created these rules are stupid. They are more retarded since day light savings existed. Facial hair is a natural part of the body. Thank god my school is not like that. But here's a stupid rule. A teacher in one of my classes does not allow me to wear a hat yet all the other teachers in the other classes hate are allowed. I'm in 8th grade. Also I need to ask before going to the bathroom. They are very nice teachers but don't give a damn if I have to go or not. Thank god I'm allowed facial hair.

If you're a middle school or a high school female then this rule is just cruel. Girls having their periods NEED the bathroom more often. Girls may get a bad rash or infection from sitting in a bloody pad for too long, it gets smelly, and sometimes when periods are at their heaviest times, if they don't change, they will leak and blood will get everywhere. Gross and unhygienic.

2 Crap is considered a "swear word"

One time, I said "oh my god" in class and my teacher banned it because she thinks Christianity is the only religion.

Well I didn't feel as bad after I read about a school who banned the use of the word Shrek.

If you think that's bad, my grade 7 teacher said that we weren't allowed to say "shut up".

3 No hoods

Ya know that's very stupid of a school to do that. Ya know freedom? Yeah if you have something on your hair that you don't want to show then that's already a red flag for a bad school or whatever that is because you don't want to be humiliated right?

Teachers think that they don't recognize you even though they've seen you like a million times and should recognize you regardless.

Apparently we can't wear hats or hoods in school because it is "disrespectful" even if our heads are cold or we have a bald spot.

4 No crushes

They may not have some of these at your school, but they sure do at mine. Anyways, this makes no sense at all. How in the heck can they control how you feel about someone? that's why this makes no absolute sense, but yet, they made it a rule.

How can they even enforce that? I'd go to the Board of Education if I went to your school.

How is this even a rule? It's not as if we have an 'off' button for our hormones for when we're in school.

5 If your bus is late, your lateness is not excused

imagine being absent if your literal bus got in a huge car crash and 50 of the students literally die what do you do then? Tell us our bus is still late and literally give us detention for no particular reason or something? This is literally dumb.

A week after one of my teachers said he wouldn't get us in trouble for being late if it was a legitimate reason, my bus was almost an hour late and by the time I got there, I was supposed to be in the same class, but then when I got there, that same teacher lectured me, even after I told him what happened.

6 No phones even at break and lunch

Omg this is the worst 1. It's not class so how is the phone so bad?

My high school won't let me do this.

7 Late for even 1 second it's an automatic detention

What's frustrating is most schools have this.

8 No talking

I get no talking during class. But I can talk anywhere else I want to and no strict teacher can stop me.

I mean in class, I can understand. But the no talking at lunch is ridiculous!

Well, if you can't hear your teacher, you can't learn anything.

9 No saying kill or any other "violent words"

I love dinosaurs.
I watch 10 of them die in battle tournaments every day.
This is stupid.

What if you're just talking about a game you like with your friend?

Jeez, how paranoid can you people get!?

10 No bringing toys from home
The Contenders
11 No playing tag

Ridiculous it's a kids game. It's not knifes

12 No doing your homework during your other classes if you finish work early

I am done with work. So I will break the rules if I want to.

Why Though even when you are done with everything?

13 No video games

Well, I mean... If your playing games all day, you can't learn anything.

14 School starts at 7:30 am
15 No hats

Hats allowed. A Nazi Cap, yeah not so much

16 Clothing that has to do anything with LGBT is against the dress code
17 Hugging is considered sexual harassment

Don't really have that at my school. I sometimes see kids hugging my math teacher, does he yell at them? No.

I do it sometimes too, and does he yell at me? Nope

18 5 minutes to go to your next class
19 Family emergency is not a valid excuse for lateness

Ohhh wow that's actually the worst thing I heard here. There must be reasons your late for a family emergency. You may not attend school actually in my school but you can.

How the hell? What if your parents break up / divorce? What if Grandma is sick? That's unfair.

Family is more important than school. This is making me mad.

20 No best friends

How can they stop you from having best friends, and why would they ever do it in the first place?

What. I thought getting best freinds in the best thing that can happen in a school (apart having everyone your best friend)

I don't think this is a real thing...

21 Doctor's note is required if you're out for 5 days even though it is a family emergency

It's a family emergency! There's a reason to say home until it's resolved!

22 No snacks during class
23 Only healthy food

If you want some meatballs then you should eat veganballs and that's just crazy. Vegan school is too far for me

I feel bad for you... my 4th grade teacher recommended to us that we should bring in healthy snacks for lunch, but she never really banned it completely. Dang.

24 No gum

Did you know chewing gum actually makes you smarter? That's why this rule is one of the most confusing ones.

Tell your teacher to look it up if they don't believe me.

How does it affect them if we're chewing on a flavored piece of rubber?

How is gum not allowed? It's only flavored rubber!

25 No jackets

If a jacket isn't our school jacket, we can't zip it because they "have to" see the school's logo. This is just nonsense. There's a difference between wearing a jacket that's zipped and wearing an unzipped jacket.

What if your freezing? My school allows it though.
