bogus school rules, << Options

[WickedDreamer]

So, I'm currently writing an article about bogus school rules and how schools can sometimes be too strict. So far I only have two bogus rules though:

• my school has a complete ban on iPods, if they are caught on campus they are immeadiately taken away until a parent can come and pick them up. I understand not having them on in class (duh) but the entire campus? It takes me ten minutes to walk to school and it can get so boring without my music!
• At one school three girls were suspended for saying the word vagina at an open mic night thing they had, the suspension was taken away but still... it's like getting suspended for saying arm... or leg... or nose.

Does anyone else here have to endure extremely stupid rules? If so, can you tell me and your high school and state?

Thanks so much!

Actually I think the iPod rule is reasonable. In my school, we can have iPods in after school hours. The "vagina" rule at your school...I think it depends on how the girls used the word for. I mean, if it's a anatomy class presentation, saying that word is inevitable.

The stupidest rule ever at my school would be cell phones. I think there is a need to it, but not INSIDE the classroom. I think they should be allowed during lunch time.

I have the same rule. No cell phones anywhere or it's confiscated.

Our ipod rule is reasonable, we can have it anywhere and listen to it anywhere. It's just the teacher's consent in classes.

But one stupid rule in my school is that we can't carry our bookbags around school. It has to be in our locker. But we can use totes and purses.
